SYDNEY has made a late change ahead of its Friday night clash with Melbourne, with Lewis Melican replacing Hayden McLean. 

The Swans have included defender Melican to face the Demons at the MCG and lost McLean, who has been playing as a ruckman for Sydney since he debuted in round 18.

It is the only late change for the clubs, in a battle between two of the bottom-four teams this season. 

The Demons will blood debutant Kade Chandler, who will be hoping to help his side to just its sixth win of a disappointing 2019 campaign. 

Chandler has been in strong form recently for the Casey Demons VFL side as a small forward.
