North Melbourne defender Riley Hardeman will play his first senior game this season in Saturday's Sir Doug Nicholls Round clash with Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium.
He is North Melbourne's only inclusion for Round 11, replacing Tom Blamires, who has been omitted.

He was the Kangaroos' carryover emergency for last weekend's trip to Adelaide.
