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.
The Roos will be targeting a 2024 double over the Eagles, with co-captain Jy Simpkin's 150th game providing extra motivation.

Jackson Archer has been named at half-back, fresh from the performance against Richmond that earned him a Telstra AFL Rising Star nomination.
Nick Larkey will line up at full-forward, with free cheeseburgers on the line for fans watching the game at Blundstone Arena if he kicks at least three goals.
