North Melbourne has made five changes to its team for the clash against Brisbane on Saturday.

Lachlan Hansen, Lindsay Thomas, Aaron Mullett and Jed Anderson join debutant Ben McKay as additions to the 22.

Jack Ziebell (foot), Taylor Garner (foot), Daniel Nielson (concussion) and Braydon Preuss (shoulder) are out due to injury, while Cam Zurhaar has been omitted.

Hansen hasn’t played since Round 13, while Lindsay Thomas’ last game was in Round 17, but the pair has been in good form at VFL level.

Anderson has played four games this season, while Mullett is back after missing last week with calf soreness.
