While much of the focus will be on North Melbourne's must-win clash against the Saints on Saturday night, there's sure to be plenty of interest in this week's VFL action as well.

The club's two affiliates North Ballarat and Werribee face off in a match that has top four repercussions, and an amazing 17 Kangaroos have been named among the sides.

The Roosters, winner of the last three VFL flags have ten North Melbourne players in their line-up, while the Tigers boast seven.

Werribee look to have the edge up forward with Majak Daw, Ben McKinley and Ben Warren all named in a dangerous front six, but they won't have it easy with Liam Anthony, Luke and Cameron Delaney and Daniel Pratt to provide some strong opposition.

With the senior team still in with a finals chance, there's sure to be plenty of friendly fire among the North Melbourne representatives as the battle for spots continues to intensify.
