North Melbourne has made four changes to its VFL side ahead of Saturday, with Josh Goater set to play his first minutes of the season.

Goater has worked past a quad injury and will line-up at half-back against Sandringham, alongside youngsters Hugo Mikunda and Cooper Harvey.

Joining Goater in the team is Toby Pink, River Stevens and Zac Banch.

Robert Hansen jnr will miss this weekend due to a groin injury, while Charlie Spargo has been elevated into the AFL line-up since the reserves' last game against Carlton on Good Friday.

VFL-listed players Alex Noblet and McLaren Spiteri have been omitted.

The Roos will look to notch a second win for the year when they meet the Zebras at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday afternoon at 2.05pm AEST.
