The Western Bulldogs have made three changes ahead of a blockbuster Thursday night clash against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

Aaron Naughton and Cody Weightman will return to bolster the forward line against the Roos, having been managed last weekend against Fremantle due to soreness.

Lachie Jaques comes into the side, with Laith Vandermeer, Louis Emmett and Jedd Busslinger all omitted.

Busslinger, Harvey Gallagher and Oskar Baker have been named as emergencies for the clash.

The Bulldogs will celebrate Member Thank You round this weekend, giving back to the fans that are the lifeblood of the club.

Fifi, Fev & Nick have also assembled a team of courageous kids to run onto Marvel Stadium pre-game.

This team is for every child who’s ever felt left out, overlooked or underestimated, whether they’ve been sidelined by bullying, health challenges or self-doubt.

The Underdogs are here to show that everyone deserves their moment to shine.

The game begins at 7.30pm and be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
