The Footscray Bulldogs have made six changes ahead of tomorrow afternoon's clash with the Brisbane Lions at Brighton Homes Arena.
AFL-listed quartet Nick Coffield, Taylor Duryea, Cooper Hynes and Luke Kennedy have been added to the side, along with Footscray's vice-captain Cooper Craig-Peters and VFL debutant Laird Ramshaw.
Ramshaw hails from Fitzroy in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) and has been named as the 'Scray's 23rd player for Saturday's clash.
Liam Jones, Luke Cleary (both AFL callups), Josh Dolan (managed), Xavier Kardarchi (injured), Ethan Hunt and Connor Smith (both omitted) make way for the six inclusions.
Saturday's clash sees Footscray return from last week's bye, with both sides looking to consolidate themselves in the top four with five rounds remaining.
The first bounce will be at 12:35pm AEST on Saturday 19 July, and be live-streamed free via the AFL website and AFL Live Official app.
Score updates and highlights will be available via the official Footscray X (Twitter) and Instagram accounts.
