The Western Bulldogs have made two changes ahead of the clash against Port Adelaide on Friday night at Adelaide Oval.
Skipper Marcus Bontempelli will be managed, while Buku Khamis will come in and play his first game for the season.
Utility Anthony Scott returns to the side after missing last week’s 32-point win over Essendon due to entering AFL health and safety protocols.
Forward Mitch Wallis comes out of the side after injuring a joint in his foot, while Josh Schache won’t play against Port after coming on as medi-sub last week.
It will be the first time the Bulldogs return to Adelaide Oval since the famous victory in the Preliminary Final last season.
The emergencies are Jordon Sweet, Rhylee West, Luke Cleary and Hayden Crozier.
A player will be confirmed as the medical sub an hour before the first bounce.
Fox Footy and Channel 7 will broadcast the game live.
