North Melbourne has made two changes ahead of this Saturday night’s game against the Gold Coast SUNS.
Midfielder Shaun Higgins and half-forward Jed Anderson come into the team as it seeks to turn its winless start to the season around.
Anderson is making his first appearance for North in 2017, while Higgins returns from a hamstring injury.
Former captain Andrew Swallow and small forward Lindsay Thomas have both been omitted.
The experienced pair have played a combined 414 games for the Kangaroos.
