Louis Butler in action during the VFL pre-season: Picture: Maddie Green

North Melbourne has made four changes to its side ahead of its Good Friday clash with Carlton.

Cooper Harvey (syndesmosis) and Miller Bergman come out of the team after picking up injuries in the season-opening game against the Northern Bullants, and will both miss a chunk of the season.

After dominating against the Bullants last Saturday, Liam Shiels has been named as an AFL emergency and will miss the reserves match against the Blues, while Curtis Taylor (back soreness) has also been named as an out.

The Roos welcome back experienced defender Ben Davis, who returns to the side after overcoming a knee issue, while leadership group member Louis Butler will also make his season debut.

VFL-listed pair Bode Stevens and Charlie Harrop are also set to feature for the first time in 2024.
