First-year player Cooper Hynes has been recalled for the Western Bulldogs’ clash with St Kilda tomorrow night.

Hynes last featured at AFL level in Round 7 against GWS, and has since pulled together a strong run of VFL performances to put his hand up for selection.

He joins Sam Darcy in the line-up, the latter who returns after spending the last eight weeks rehabilitating a knee injury.

Darcy will start at full-forward alongside Laith Vandermeer and Rhylee West, while Hynes starts on the bench.

The duo have been included at the expense of James Harmes (concussion) and Ryan Gardner.

This week’s substitute will be chosen an hour before the first bounce from one of Hynes, Josh Dolan, Buku Khamis, Lachie McNeil and Adam Treloar.

Bouncedown will be 7:30pm AEST at Marvel Stadium and be broadcast live on Channel 7 and Fox Footy.
