The Bulldogs made just one change to the side from last week, with Easton Wood forced to miss through injury.
Eade said after Sunday's heavy defeat of the Brisbane Lions that he was confident he did not have to make wholesale changes to the side.
"We had a fairly spirited meeting on Monday with the players and they showed a fair bit of passion and discussion, which was great," Eade said.
"That showed the players were embarrassed about what happened last week and we thought they deserved round one. Let's give them another chance."
One of the Bulldogs' most impressive players in the win over the Lions was Tom Liberatore, who gathered 28 touches and had nine tackles in just his second AFL game.
Eade paid tribute to the son of 1990 Brownlow medallist Tony, while also having a slight dig at his predecessor in the No. 21 guernsey, Jason Akermanis.
"He's the best No. 21 we've had for a long time. What he's done over the pre-season games is what he's done in the last two weeks. He's so consistent and he can win the ball. He wins his own footy," Eade said.
"The game is as tough as it has ever been and you still need to be able to win your own ball. He's got a great ability to do that as well as [good] vision when he has got the ball.
"He's physically not developed yet, to be able to cope week in, week out. At some stage, with this new (substitution) rule, he'll have to have a break but his form at the moment is really adding to our midfield."
Liberatore came from the ground with a slight ankle injury late in the game, while forward Barry Hall was substituted after experiencing back problems at the half-time break. Neither injury was serious.
Eade said the decision to end Hall's day was made with a view to the long season ahead for the 34-year-old.
"We thought we'd give him ten minutes to see how he was. We rotated him at 10 minutes (into the third term), of course Barry wanted to keep going and said he was OK but we probably erred on the side of caution. He had some angry pills but he was OK."
