Western Bulldogs will be out to return to the winners’ list when they face VFLW ladder-leader Collingwood in Morwell on Saturday morning.
The third-placed Bulldogs slipped to their first defeat of the season last week, going down by 16 points to Carlton.
Collingwood thumped Darebin to the tune of 78 points to leapfrog the Bulldogs into top spot – however they have played one more game.
The Bulldogs will make three changes for the clash.
AFLW stars Ellie Blackburn and Bonnie Toogood will miss, as will Courtney Mullins with a shoulder injury.
Vaomua Laloifi will make her Bulldogs debut, AFLW-listed player Celine Moody will make her first VFLW appearance for the season, and Kate Tull also comes in.
