The Western Bulldogs have made one change ahead of a blockbuster Friday night clash against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium. 
 
Ed Richards returns for his first game in a month after suffering a hamstring injury, while Rhylee West returns to the starting 22 after a stellar final quarter against Fremantle last weekend.
 
Mitch Hannan will miss the clash with a calf complaint.
 
The Bulldogs have also named their sub ahead of the fixture, with Anthony Scott to be injected into the Friday night fixture.

The game will also mark the 25th iteration of the Robert Rose Cup. 
 
Named after former Collingwood (1970-72) and Footscray (1973) player Robert Rose, the Cup honours his contribution to the sport while raising awareness for people living with disability.
 
Since 2007, the Bob Rose-Charlie Sutton Medal has been awarded to the player that best exemplifies the qualities that Sutton and Rose became renowned for over their careers - toughness, skill, courage, leadership, teamwork and sportsmanship.
