Box Hill Hawks v North Melbourne
Sunday, May 16 - 12.05pm
Box Hill City Oval
Live on Channel 7 (check local guides)

Atu Bosenavulagi and Bailey Scott will make their returns to North Melbourne’s VFL side on Sunday, having missed last week’s clash with Southport due to their selection as AFL emergencies.

Bosenavulagi will continue his development in the backline, with his performances having earned him three games at AFL level this season.

Scott will take his place in the midfield and will be hoping for more stellar service from Tristan Xerri, who has been in fine form himself in the ruck. 

Eddie Ford will resume his role in the forward line, having impressed in the midfield last week.

After finishing with 17 players on the field against Southport last week, North will be without the services of Will Walker (thumb) Mathew Walker (lung), Josh Clayton (hamstring), Ben Speight (hamstring) and skipper Flynn Appleby (concussion).

Development players Hamish Murphy, Tom Donnelley, Harrison Gunther, Miller Hodge and Mark Baker have all been named.
