North Melbourne have named two debutants to take on Gold Coast this Saturday at Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.
The Roos will hand a debut game to their first-round draft pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft, Luke Davies-Uniacke, and former Hawthorn player Billy Hartung.
North Melbourne's midfield, led by the likes of Jack Ziebell and Ben Cunnington, boasts plenty of contested ball winners and will provide a stern contest for Stuart Dew's men.
