North Melbourne has made eight changes to its VFL side for its final home game of the home and away season.
The Roos will take on Geelong at Arden Street Oval on Saturday at 1.05pm, with a spot in the top 10 still a possibility for Tom Lynch's group despite a tough run of matches remaining.
Blakey gives us a sniff!
