The Western Bulldogs have made three changes to their line-up for Friday night’s round four AFLW match against GWS at Henson Park.

Nathan Burke | 'It hit quite a few of them pretty hard'

AFLW Head Coach Nathan gives an insight to the last few weeks at the Kennel as COVID-19 spread amongst the group.

Lynch and Hunt missed the Bulldogs’ season opener due to injury, while Hartwig was withdrawn after entering AFL Health and Safety Protocols.

Aurora Smith and Jemima Woods have been named as the emergencies.

The clash will be Elle Bennetts’ first meeting against her former club, and the Bulldogs’ first game at the venue.

After having their last two rounds postponed, the Bulldogs will return to the action from 5.10pm AEDT tomorrow night.

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy, with score updates also available via @BulldogsW on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

All the information you need to know ahead of the game can be found in our round four match preview.
