North Melbourne elevated 20-year-old rookie Alan Obst to the senior list this afternoon enabling the 192cm South Australian to make his debut against the Eagles on the Gold Coast this Saturday.
Obst was promoted after Leigh Adams was placed on the long term injury list as he recovers from a knee reconstruction.
The Roos made four changes to this week’s line-up with Matt Riggio in for his third career game, and first since Round 2 last season. 2007 Rising Star nominee Scott McMahon also returns for his first game of the season and defender Josh Gibson returns from a knee injury.
Daniel Pratt is out with a minor groin complaint and is expected to miss just this week, while Leigh Brown, Scott Thompson and Josh Smith have been omitted.
