He was a bit unlucky to be dropped for last Sunday’s match against Port Adelaide, due to Ben Griffiths returning from a bout of concussion.
This time McBean replaces Ty Vickery, who will miss a couple of weeks after injuring his ankle in the Round 8 encounter with Port at Adelaide Oval.
The Tigers’ three emergencies for the Dreamtime game are Ben Lennon, Matt McDonough and Todd Elton.
