The North Melbourne Kangaroos have made four changes to take on the Sydney Swans in Sunday's 1996 premiership reunion game.

Four players who missed last week due to entering the AFL's health and safety protocols - Aidan Corr, Lachie Young, Paul Curtis and Aaron Hall - all return to face the Swans.

Father-son draftee Jackson Archer has been ruled out with a hip injury, while Josh Walker (medi-sub), Aiden Bonar, Kayne Turner and Phoenix Spicer (all omitted) go out of the side.

Walker, Turner, Josh Goater and Flynn Perez have been listed as the emergencies and one will be named the medical substitute an hour before the bounce.

Despite being available for selection, star midfielder Ben Cunnington will make his long-awaited comeback via the VFL instead.

Having recovered from testicular cancer, Cunnington was set to return to play in July but suffered a calf strain in training, and last week tested positive for COVID-19.
