Toby McLean will make his AFL return on Friday night against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.

McLean is a late inclusion, coming into the side for ruckman Stefan Martin (shoulder).

The 25-year-old will be playing his first game after an ACL injury put an end to his 2020 season in September.

McLean has been set to play at VFL level for a number of weeks - but unable to due to the competition being impacted by COVID-19.

However, he will now make his return to football at AFL level.
