Big-name recruits Jarrad Waite and Shaun Higgins have been named in North Melbourne’s 25-man squad to face Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Easter Sunday.
Former Blue, Waite, has been named at centre-half forward, while Higgins is set to line up on a wing for the clash against the Crows.
The duo is the only new additions to near full-strength Kangaroos squad.
Nathan Grima (back), Levi Greenwood (traded) and Aaron Black are the only players missing from the 2014 preliminary final team, while Lachlan Hansen will miss due to a lack of match conditioning.
Joel Tippett is set to hold down a key defensive post after Robbie Tarrant was left out of the final 22.
