The Bulldogs have made four changes ahead of their Round 2 clash against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.

Youngsters Rhylee West and Riley Garcia return to the line-up for the first time in 2023, while Hayden Crozier takes his place in the backline.

Toby McLean makes his way back into the 22 after coming on as a tactical sub during last week’s loss against Melbourne, replacing Liam Jones in the second quarter.

Rory Lobb will miss the clash after minor surgery on his ankle, with Adam Treloar suffering hamstring tightness and unavailable.
