The Western Bulldogs have made one change to their team ahead of Sunday’s clash against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.
Lewis Young has been recalled, replacing injured defender Ryan Gardner who sustained an AC joint injury in last week’s win over West Coast.
Young has played three senior matches this season, most recently featuring in the Bulldogs’ 111-point win over St Kilda in round 10.
The 22-year-old has been named on the bench alongside Toby McLean, Mitch Hannan and Riley Garcia.
Patrick Lipinski, Josh Schache, Mitch Wallis and Jordon Sweet have been named as emergencies, with one to be confirmed as the medical sub an hour before the first bounce on Sunday.
Defender Taylor Duryea will celebrate his 150th AFL match, having played 31 games in the red, white and blue after crossing from Hawthorn at the end of 2018.
Fox Footy will broadcast the match live from 4pm.
The game will also form part of a Bulldogs-Roos double-header on Sunday, with Footscray taking on North VFL at VU Whitten Oval from 12.05pm.
