North's Wells returns for Swans AFL clash

Damaging utility Daniel Wells will return for unbeaten North Melbourne in Friday night's AFL fixture against Sydney.

Wells, who has missed the past two games because of achilles soreness, and Sam Wright replace dumped duo Aaron Mullett and Farren Ray, while the Swans have rewarded Harrison Marsh for perseverance with an AFL debut.

Marsh - delisted at the end of 2015 after three years on Sydney's list, then re-drafted - replaces Ted Richards (concussion).
