The Crows, meanwhile, sit third as they look to claim a top-four finish, with these two sides considered among the flag fancies in 2024.

While the high-flying Roos are unchanged, the Crows have recalled Jess Waterhouse in place of Keeley Kustermann.

North will return to the top of the ladder with a win, while Kuwarna's top-four place will be all but assured if it claims victory.
