NORTH Melbourne will regain captain Emma Kearney for its must-win clash against Geelong on Saturday, but it's not all good news for the Kangaroos.
Irish import Erika O'Shea, who has been exceptional since starting at the Roos at the start of season seven, will miss through injury.
Important tall Kim Rennie will also return for North, while Charli Granville has been omitted.

Richmond's Maddie Shevlin has recovered from an ankle injury sustained in round six, just in time for her side's qualifying final against Brisbane at Metricon Stadium.
Shevlin was excellent the last time the Tigers and Lions met, with her contribution important to her side's victory.
Geelong has recalled tall forward Melissa Bragg, and omitted Maddy Keryk, while Brisbane has named an unchanged line-up.
