North Melbourne has made three changes to its side ahead of its Gather Round clash with Gold Coast at Barossa Park.

Young forward Zane Duursma and rebounding defender Zac Fisher have been named for their first AFL games of the season, while Finn O'Sullivan has been immediately recalled after missing Round 4 due to illness.

Fisher was out of action last weekend having suffered a concussion against Box Hill the week prior, but racked up 40 touches in the VFL season-opener against Casey and will add some speed to the Roos' backline.

Duursma has booted five goals from his three appearances at reserves level this year and earns his call-up after kicking two majors from 18 possessions against Sydney.

Making way is Bailey Scott, Robert Hansen jnr and Matt Whitlock.

There are no late changes for the clash, and Riley Hardeman has been locked in as the substitute again after making a quick impact in that role last week.

Scott, Toby Pink and Brynn Teakle are the three emergencies.
