The Bulldogs have confirmed five changes ahead of their clash with Collingwood on Sunday.

Matthew Boyd and Jack Redpath will both return after one-week suspensions, while Matt Suckling and Marcus Adams return after injuries had kept them on the sideline.

Josh Dunkley has also been named in the side, after being among Footscray’s best players the past four weeks.

Boyd and Suckling will all boost the Dogs’ defensive line, a fact not lost on senior assistant coach Brett Montgomery.

“He’s (Boyd) been in great form, obviously we missed him on the weekend.
 
“It was an opportunity if anything else for him to freshen up, so he’ll be important to us.
 
“Marcus played some terrific footy before going out and was unlucky with that little break, so we are starting to get some shape back into our back end.”
 
Jed Adcock, Bailey Williams, Kieran Collins (all omitted), Koby Stevens (abdominal) and Lin Jong (suspension) make way for the five inclusions.
