The Western Bulldogs have made four changes for Saturday night’s clash against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

The Dogs’ defence will be bolstered with the return of defenders Dale Morris, Marcus Adams and Aaron Naughton, while utility Josh Dunkley has also earned a senior recall.

Easton Wood (hamstring), Jack Macrae (hamstring) and Lukas Webb (hand) are unavailable. Shane Biggs has been omitted.

Adams will play his first home and away match since round 12, 2017, when he suffered a season ending foot injury. He suffered ligament damage to his ankle on the eve of round one this year and has been building form in the VFL for the past month.

Morris returns after having minor arthroscopic surgery to repair some slight meniscus damage in his knee just a fortnight ago, while Naughton will play his first match since round 8.

Dunkley gathered 25 disposals and laid nine tackles for Footscray in their 10-point win over Coburg on Saturday.

The Bulldogs have had the better of the Kangaroos recently, winning the last three games and four of the last five after North Melbourne's streak of four straight wins in 2012-14.

The Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne Football Clubs will join together to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity in the inaugural AFL Harmony Game. An official flag ceremony will commence at approximately 6.50pm with bouncedown at 7.25pm. 

Tickets for the match are available at Ticketmaster, and fans are encouraged to use #HarmonyGame on social media.
