NORTH Melbourne captain Emma Kearney is facing a fitness test ahead of the Kangaroos' preliminary final against Port Adelaide on Saturday.

The veteran was a chance to play in the Roos' qualifying final two weeks ago but failed to pass a fitness test in time.

With the Roos gifted last week off as a result of winning their qualifying final, Kearney may be in a better position this week.

Brisbane youngster Jacinta Baldwick is unavailable for selection this week after copping a head knock during the Lions' match simulation on Friday.
