North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has confirmed that the Roos will chase Essendon's Jake Carlisle in the trade period.

โ€œ(He) is one of the players that weโ€™d like to add,โ€ Scott said.

โ€œLike every club, weโ€™re looking at all sorts of different options to improve our list and if the time comes that Jake decides that he wants to look at a fresh start then thatโ€™s the time weโ€™ll start drilling down on that, but as far as Iโ€™m aware that hasnโ€™t happened yet."

Scott also said that injury prone star Daniel Wells may be in line to finally make a return to senior football.

โ€œ(Weโ€™re) undecided yet, weโ€™ll see how he trains today, heโ€™s a chance to play,โ€ Scott said

โ€œWe know what a good player he is and weโ€™re going to have to make sure heโ€™s somewhere near his best to play him.

โ€œBut whether thatโ€™s this week or next week or somewhere into the future ... we wonโ€™t be rolling the dice, if we play him this week, we will only play him because we think heโ€™s ready to play.โ€
