North Melbourne has made one change to its side to take on Adelaide on Sunday afternoon, naming small forward Nathan Hrovat in its final 22. 

The 24-year-old was an omission from the side that lost to the Western Bulldogs in Round 21, but returns after just one week out.

Hrovat replaces midfielder Paul Ahern, who the Kangaroos have rested after playing 10 consecutive games since his AFL debut in Round 11.

North Melbourne's Round 22 team is...

IN - N. Hrovat
OUT - P. Ahern (rested)

B: Majak Daw, Scott Thompson, Marley Williams
HB: Jamie Macmillan, Robbie Tarrant, Shaun Atley
C: Luke McDonald, Jed Anderson, Trent Dumont
