North Melbourne has made five changes for Sunday's reserves match against Essendon at Arden Street Oval.

Onballer Tom Powell will return to action against the Bombers, after recovering from the groin injury which has sidelined him since early May.

He is joined in the team by young ruck Taylor Goad, who was omitted from this week's AFL side, along with Gus Papal, Samuel Linder and Hugh Byrne.
