North Melbourne has added four names to its extended squad ahead of Sunday’s clash with Collingwood, with only one confirmed out so far.
Versatile tall Brynn Teakle is a chance to make his Kangas debut and feature in his first AFL match since Round 9, 2023.
The 15th overall pick from the mid-season rookie draft grabbed three contested marks and snagged a goal in his first VFL outing as a Roo, to quickly push his case for selection
He’s joined by Riley Hardeman, who has impressed off half-back in the reserves since dropping back in after three games in the senior side earlier this season.
Midfielders Charlie Lazzaro and Will Phillips have also earned consideration for call-ups after strong performances in the reserves’ win over Coburg last Saturday.
Youngster Wil Dawson is the only confirmed out, having sustained a high-grade AC joint injury in the early stages of last week’s game against the Eagles.
The Roos will be eager to ride the wave of momentum formed in their thrilling Round 13 victory in Perth when they take on the reigning premiers at Marvel Stadium.
It’ll be an afternoon of celebration for the club as it throws back to the ’90s to honour its 1999 premiership triumph.
