North Melbourne has made one change to its side ahead of its marquee Good Friday SuperClash fixture against Carlton.
Young onballer George Wardlaw will make his long-awaited return to the senior side, having recovered from the serious hamstring injury he suffered during a January training session.
The No.4 pick from the 2022 draft featured in the VFL against Sydney on April 6, gathering 21 possessions and seven clearances across three quarters before playing in a match sim over the weekend.
Going out of the line-up is half-back Riley Hardeman.
Wardlaw, Zane Duursma, Dylan Stephens, Zac Fisher and Luke Parker have been named on the interchange bench, with one from the group to be named as substitute an hour before the 3.20pm AEST bounce.
Hardeman, Robert Hansen jnr and Brynn Teakle are the three emergencies.
