NORTH Melbourne will push to play more pre-season games at its Arden St home after successfully hosting Hawthorn in the JLT Community Series last month, and in the long-term is keen to establish the ground as a regular venue for AFLW and VFL games.

Arden St Oval hosted its first official AFL game since 1985 on February 26, when a crowd of 3981 turned up to watch North defeat Hawthorn by 21 points on a warm and sunny day.

North chairman Ben Buckley said at the club's annual general meeting on Wednesday night the Kangaroos would approach the AFL about playing more games at Arden St in the hope the ground could enjoy a similar rebirth to those enjoyed by the Whitten Oval and Princes Park in recent years.

Roos CEO Carl Dilena said the JLT game against Hawthorn had shown Arden St could once again host pre-season AFL games, along with AFLW and VFL fixtures.

"The AFL was using the JLT game as a bit of a test to see if we could put the facilities together for an AFL-standard match here. And I was speaking to (AFL grounds operations manager) Jennie Loughnan after the game and she was rapt with the outcome," Dilena said.

"She said, 'You've just proved you can host games here,' so that's either pre-season games, it's VFL games – we will have a VFL game here this year – and probably in a couple of years' time when we (hope to) get a women's side, because that's on our agenda, we'll look to play (AFLW) games here as well.

"We want to position Arden St as a venue for matches, particularly in terms of a long-term strategy with all the development that's going on around here and position Arden St as the community centrepiece of this whole district.

"This whole area is going to change over the next 10 years and our challenge as a club is to make sure we're right across the heart and soul of that new suburb."

Arden St will host North's VFL affiliate Werribee in its round three clash against Essendon on Sunday, April 29.

Meanwhile at the AGM, North amended its club constitution to establish an independent nominations committee that will consider and assess member nominations for board elections at annual general meetings.

Members voted 119 to 19 in support of the club's motion, satisfying the 75 per cent majority required to change the constitution.

The independent nominations committee will consist of three members, two independent of the board and one a sitting board member.

Carlton, Hawthorn, Essendon and Richmond already select board candidates via a similar vetting process.
