North Melbourne has made two changes to its side ahead of the Good Friday SuperClash against Carlton at Marvel Stadium.
Veteran Jack Darling has been recalled after kicked three goals in the VFL team's season opener against Essendon last weekend.
He comes in for star ruck Tristan Xerri, who has been suspended for the next three matches due to serious misconduct.
