North Melbourne has made a handful of changes for its Round 9 VFL bout with Gold Coast at Arden Street Oval on Saturday.

Josh Goater, Robert Hansen jnr and Zac Fisher will all make their returns from injury, and are joined in the side by Tom Blamires and VFL-listed youngster Gus Papal.

Tom Powell comes out of the side due to the groin injury he sustained in last weekend's loss to Port Melbourne.

Felix Kneipp, Patrick Fairlie, Hugh Byrne and Tyson Scoble also make way.

The match at Arden Street Oval gets underway at 1.30pm AEST.
