North Melbourne have made a late change ahead of their clash with St Kilda on Sunday afternoon, with first-year midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke being withdrawn from the side due to hamstring tightness.

The No. 4 draft selection has been replaced in the side by Paul Ahern, who has impressed in his opportunities this season.

Ahern comes in for his 11th game of the season. St Kilda have entered the clash as named.
