AFL fans will be delighted to see the return of Fremantle's Michael Barlow in tomorrow's match against the Demons at the MCG in Melbourne.

The midfielder had a dream run in his debut season last year which was brought to an abrupt and painful end when he broke his leg in round 14.

Geelong recruit Ben Bucovaz also comes into the side on debut for injured pair David Mundy and Hayden Ballantyne.
