Midfield tyro Ed Richards will play his 150th game in red, white and blue, while Oskar Baker and James O'Donnell will play their 50th games respectively.

The fixture will begin at 1.15pm AEDT at Marvel Stadium, giving the Bulldogs faithful the first opportunity to see their heroes in Victoria this season.
