Majak Daw has been rewarded for his form in the VFL, coming back into North’s side to face the Bulldogs.

Three goals and some influential passages of play during his ruck stints last week against the Northern Blues means Daw will play his second game of the year.

Jamie Macmillan returns after hamstring tightness forced him out against the Saints. His run and carry was sorely missed and will be gladly welcomed back.

With 23 disposals the last time he faced the Bulldogs, he was one of North’s better contributors on Good Friday.

The third inclusion for the Saturday night clash is Andrew Swallow, another who has been performing at a high level for Werribee.

He collected 28 disposals and seven tackles last week, and has averaged 30 disposals a game in the VFL this season.

Lachlan Hansen, Jed Anderson and Kayne Turner, who injured his knee last week, are out.
