NORTH Melbourne interim coach Darren Crocker has followed the lead of his equivalent at Richmond, Jade Rawlings, and swung the selection axe for his first match in charge.
The inclusion of debutant Liam Anthony is among four changes to the side that will meet the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.
Anthony, a 21-year-old midfielder, has overcome a foot stress fracture that prevented him from making his debut in round one and is joined by Brent Harvey – who returns for his first match since dislocating his elbow in round five, David Hale and Ben Warren.
Making way are youngsters Jack Ziebell (broken leg) and Gavin Urquhart, along with Sam Power and Aaron Edwards.
Richmond, which plays the undefeated Saints, has also named a debutant, with mature-age rookie Jarrod Silvester coming in for Adam Pattison.
The Saints, like the Dogs, are unchanged.
The Cats have made just one change, welcoming captain Tom Harley back for their clash with Port Adelaide.
Port has also taken the wholesale changes approach. Daniel Motlop has been forced out with an ankle injury, but Marlon Motlop, Steven Salopek and Matthew Westhoff have all been dropped.
They've been replaced by Alipate Carlile, Jason Davenport, Nathan Krakouer and Nick Lower.
