North Melbourne has made two forced changes for the club's last 2024 home game, against West Coast in Hobart on Saturday.
Veteran Liam Shiels and youngster Miller Bergman come into the side after last weekend's confidence-boosting win over Richmond.
Bergman, who is in line to play his first AFL match since Round 10, impressed on the wing at VFL level against Williamstown last weekend.
Shiels returns after being managed last week.
An ankle injury sustained in the 13-point win over the Tigers has ruled out winger Dylan Stephens, while Jaidyn Stephenson misses due to a hand injury.
Following his Virgin Australia AFL Mark of the Year contender last week, young gun Zane Duursma will line up as the tactical substitute.
The Roos will be targeting a 2024 double over the Eagles, with co-captain Jy Simpkin's 150th game providing extra motivation.
