The Western Bulldogs have named their 26-player squad for Sunday’s clash against Essendon at Marvel Stadium.

Roarke Smith, Laith Vandermeer and Mitch Wallis have been added to the team that played Adelaide last weekend.

Vandermeer and Wallis have been named on an extended bench alongside Rhylee West – last week’s unused medical sub – Robbie McComb, Bailey Williams, Hayden Crozier, Josh Schache and Jordon Sweet.

Anthony Scott comes out of the side after entering AFL Health and Safety protocols, while Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been omitted.

Courageous midfielder Josh Dunkley will play his 100^th game for the red, white and blue after being named in the half-forward line.

A team of 22 players and four emergencies will be confirmed by the Bulldogs at 5pm on Friday.

One of the four emergencies will be named as the medical sub an hour before the first bounce on Sunday.

Channel 7 and Fox Footy will broadcast the game live.
