IT IS a case of better late than never for Hawk Beau Muston, with the 22-year-old set to make his AFL debut after three knee reconstructions.

Muston was taken with pick No.22 in the 2005 NAB AFL Draft but has been injury-plagued. He and Cameron Stokes come into the side to take on Melbourne with Stuart Dew and Travis Tuck making way.

The Demons have made four changes - Brad Green has made a speedy recovery from a broken jaw, while key defenders Jared Rivers and James Frawley are also back to face the Hawks’ potent forward line, along with Jamie Bennell after his week's rest. Lynden Dunn, Shane Valenti, Clint Bartram and Kyle Cheney are the omissions.

The Lions also have a debutant, with 18-year-old Tasmanian Aaron Cornelius selected for their clash with the Saints. The tall marking forward was taken with the 57th pick in the 2008 draft. Tim Notting is also back to cover for the loss of Joel Patfull, who has a broken jaw, and Daniel Merrett, who hurt an ankle.

St Kilda has made just one change – Jason Gram is out with a thigh injury and has been replaced by Raphael Clarke, who is back from a hamstring injury.

The Sydney Swans take on Port Adelaide at the SCG on Sunday, and Nick Malceski’s four goals in the seconds got him back to the top level at the expense of Brett Meredith.

Port has made three changes to the side that fell over the line against the Tigers - Steven Salopek is back after missing a week with a dislocated shoulder and he's been joined by Marlon Motlop and Matthew Westhoff. Nathan Krakouer will miss with general soreness, while Jason Davenport and David Rodan have been dropped. Josh Carr has been included as an emergency.

In news from Adelaide, Robert Shirley is out of the Crow's team to play Carlton after failing in his appeal at the SANFL tribunal last night. As a result, Brent Reilly has moved from the emergency list into the 22, and his spot has been taken by Tony Armstrong.
