The Western Bulldogs have named a 26-man squad to face Essendon at the Hangar on Wednesday afternoon.

Majority of the 2021 Grand Final team will participate in the practice match with only Bailey Smith, Alex Keath and the retired Easton Wood missing.

Newcomers Arthur Jones and Robbie McComb will pull on the red, white and blue jumper for the first time, while Jamarra Ugle-Hagan enters the forward line off the back of a positive pre-season.

Mitch Wallis has been named to take his place in the side, as Ryan Gardner and Ed Richards round out the strong squad.

The match begins at 3.00pm AEST and will be live streamed on Kayo.
