Central coach Jeff Andrews has changed the make-up of his back six ahead of the must-win clash with North at X Convenience Oval.
Inexperienced pair Jack Toner and Dylan Weaver have been selected in the back pockets, with the latter set to play his first League match of the season.
Marcus Barreau, Brendan Dew, Jackson Kelly and Nick Gillard have also been called upon, with the latter to start on the wing.
Key forward John Butcher injured his hamstring against Norwood in Round 4 while Ethan East has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Half-forward Justin Hoskin will play his 150th Statewide Super League game after making his debut for Port Adelaide in Round 8 of 2011.

North by 3 goals.
By 'improving' I assume you mean that we improve within the one game rather than across the season.
Our first half against Norwood was probably the worst we have played all year.
However, we do have a habit of 'improving' through a game - playing a terrible first half (giving sides starts of between 30 and 50 points) and then a good, solid second half: very frustrating each week!
Therefore, my prediction this week:
North to lead by 49 points at half-time and win by 27 in the end.
Cheers

I've seen all Centrals games this year and I just thought the second half of last week was the best footy you had played this year.
You have trailed at half time by 16,24, level and 34 points so far this year.
Against Norwood and West you had better second halves than your first.

We still haven't won a game though and that is all that counts at the end of the day.
Do I need to quote Terry Wallace again i.e. honourable loss, spew up.
Winning a Reserves Premiership is a bonus and shouldn't be a club's main focus.

Someone should have warned me there's no Pale on tap out here!
Luckily I can handle a Furphys and the missus is soaking up some Ted's, great day for it out here.
Good crowd in the Grand Central bar, standing room only.
