The Western Bulldogs have confirmed Tom Boyd and Hayden Crozier will return to the team for Sunday’s clash with West Coast in Perth.

Boyd missed last week’s game with back soreness, while Crozier has recovered from hamstring tightness.

The pair replaces Pat Lipinski and Shane Biggs, who have been omitted.

Lipinski and Biggs join Fletcher Roberts and Fergus Greene as the four emergencies.

In the absence of Easton Wood and Marcus Bontempelli, Lachie Hunter will captain the side in his 100th game.

The Eagles have had the better of the Bulldogs recently, winning three of their last five meetings.

The first bounce is at 3.20pm AEST time on Sunday and the match will be broadcast on Channel 7 from 3pm (AEST).
