The Western Bulldogs have made four changes ahead of tomorrow night’s clash with Sydney at the SCG.

Mitch Hannan will make his long-awaited return to senior football, having been sidelined since round three this year with concussion symptoms.

Tim English also returns after missing the past fortnight with delayed concussion symptoms himself, joined by Ed Richards who sat out last week due to the 12-day concussion protocols.

Riley Garcia has also been elevated into the starting 22, after being the unused medical substitute against Brisbane a week ago. 

Jordon Sweet, Tim O’Brien, Robbie McComb and Hayden Crozier make way.

Sweet, O’Brien and McComb have been listed as emergencies, alongside Luke Cleary.

One of the four will be confirmed as this week’s medical substitute an hour before the first bounce.

Channel 7 and Fox Footy will broadcast the game live.
