Mason Wood is in, while Todd Goldstein will line up against Richmond on Friday night after the pair were named in North’s 22-man side.
Goldstein was in doubt for the historic clash under lights at Blundstone Arena in Hobart with a knee issue, but has improved well enough to play.
His inclusion is a massive boost to the Kangaroos who are looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season last week against the Swans.
Wood returns after sustaining a concussion following a heavy landing in a marking contest in Round 8 against Essendon at Etihad.
Trent Dumont makes way, after two encouraging weeks in the senior side.
He will travel as an emergency along with Aaron Mullett and Majak Daw.
