Bio
Overlooked in the national draft, Hayden McLean secured his opportunity at the elite level via the pre-season supplemental selection period in 2019, joining Sydney after a promising stint in the VFL with Sandringham. A physically imposing key forward who provides essential relief in the ruck, McLean established himself through his contested marking ability and structural discipline rather than flashy athleticism. After biding his time on the fringe of selection during his early years, he became a fixture of the Swans' setup, notably earning selection for the 2022 Grand Final and developing into a reliable avenue to goal alongside high-profile teammates. Approaching the 100-game milestone, McLean remains a vital component of Sydney's tall forward rotation, having recently notched his 100th career major as a testament to his persistence and consistency.
