North Melbourne Coach Discusses Tagging Strategy and Player Availability Ahead of Geelong Match

North Melbourne's coach Alastair Clarkson is preparing for a crucial match against Geelong, expecting Oisin Mullin to tag one of the team's key midfielders. Mullin has effectively neutralized top midfielders throughout the season.

Luke Davies-Uniacke, who recently delivered an impressive performance with two goals and 31 disposals, is a strong candidate for Mullin's attention. Clarkson noted that the team is uncertain about which player Mullin will target, mentioning that it could be either Davies-Uniacke or Harry Sheezel.

In terms of player availability, veteran Luke McDonald has recovered from calf tightness, while Aidan Corr and Tom Powell are also in contention after overcoming injuries. Paul Curtis is expected to participate in the upcoming captain's run despite missing training for personal reasons. Additionally, Luke Urquhart has shown improvement in the VFL, but Clarkson did not confirm if he would make his AFL debut this season.
