The Western Bulldogs have recalled Oskar Baker for their Round 11 Sir Doug Nicholls Round meeting with Geelong.
Baker’s last appearance came in Round 4 earlier this season, and comes into the side in replace of injured forward Arthur Jones.
He will start on the interchange bench alongside Lachy Bramble, Sam Davidson, Lachie McNeil and Laith Vandermeer.
One of the five will be named the substitute an hour before the first bounce.
Taylor Duryea will notch up 100 Club games, becoming the 57th player in VFL/AFL history to raise the bat at two different clubs.
Buku Khamis has been named to start at centre-half forward, following an impressive three-goal haul last week, while ball magnet Bailey Dale will start on the half-back flank.
Tim English, Marcus Bontempelli and Tom Liberatore will appear at the first centre bounce.
The Dogs will debut their 2025 First Nations clash guernsey, designed by Kamilya Lowana White, a proud Aboriginal artist from Naarm with Kija Bardi heritage.
The match will begin at 7:30pm AEST on Thursday evening at GMHBA Stadium.
It will be broadcast live via Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
