With North Melbourne coming off its biggest loss in recent memory, David Noble and the match committee could look to make a number of changes ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Crows.
The Roos will be sweating on the fitness of Jared Polec (hamstring) and Jed Anderson (ankle) after both copped injuries in the Good Friday match.
North Media takes a look at those in the frame for selection.
Atu Bosenavulagi has caught the eye playing in defence in VFL practice matches, with VFL coach Leigh Adams suggesting a senior call-up is on the horizon.
“Atu is knocking on the door for a senior call-up, that’s for sure,” Adams said.
“Last week he played on a couple of really nippy forwards and did a great job, then this week he did a great job locking down a very good player in [Mitch] Wallis.”
Dom Tyson also made a strong impression in the VFL after being omitted, booting 3 goals from the midfield and finding plenty of the ball.
Luke McDonald is a chance to overcome a quad injury and make his return, as is Aiden Bonar (adductor).
Big men Tristan Xerri and Tom Campbell both took knocks in the VFL, but should be available if North looks to include another tall.
Curtis Taylor is set to return to training following a concussion in Round 1, and will be hoping to return to provide some much-needed x-factor.
Taylor Garner and Eddie Ford have been increasing their minutes in the VFL, and could both add another element to the forward line.
Connor Menadue has been around the mark in recent weeks, and impressed in the season-opener against Port Adelaide.
