North Melbourne will be without key-position pair Jarrad Waite and Scott Thompson for Saturday night’s Elimination Final against Adelaide.
Waite (hip) and Thompson (adductor) were unable to prove their fitness ahead of the do-or-die clash with the Crows, with North Melbourne naming an unchanged line-up for the trip to Adelaide Oval.
Waite last played in Round 19 against the Saints, while Thompson left the field early in the Round 22 clash against Sydney.
Brad McKenzie and youngsters Ryan Clarke and Corey Wagner are the Kangaroos’ emergencies.
Crows duo return for Elimination Final
If the Kangaroos are knocked out of the finals on Saturday night it would signal the end to Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo’s careers in the blue and white.
