Hayley Wildes has been named to make her first appearance for the season for the Bulldogs in Friday night’s meeting with North Melbourne in Launceston.
Wildes played seven games last year and was a member of the Dogs’ premiership team, and gets her chance to return to the big stage in the AFLW Conference A top-of-the-table clash.

She returns alongside forward Emma Mackie, who was a late withdrawal from last week’s team which defeated Geelong by 18 points at VU Whitten Oval.
Kirsten McLeod and Eleanor Brown come out of the side, with Brown and Elyse Gamble named as the emergencies.
Both the Bulldogs and Kangaroos are undefeated after two rounds.
