North Melbourne has made one change to its side to take on St Kilda, with Paul Ahern returning for his first game since Round 5.

The midfielder was best-on-ground for the Roos’ VFL side last week, and has been in strong form since his omission earlier in the season.

Ahern comes in for Kyron Hayden, who will be sidelined for the rest of the season after surgery on his achilles.

North’s VFL team will be in action on Sunday at Arden Street, from 11.40am, before the AFL side takes on St Kilda at Hobart’s Blundstone Arena at 3.20pm.
