MELBOURNE has added plenty of dash to its backline with the return of Matthew Whelan and Ricky Petterd for Sunday’s clash against West Coast at Subiaco.
But, the Demons have given gun midfielder Brock McLean one more week to ensure he’s fully fit before he resumes from a broken foot sustained in round one.
Tall defenders Matthew Warnock and Ben Holland make way for Whelan and Petterd, while Ryan Ferguson comes in for his second game of the season.
