Cody Weightman is one of four changes for the Western Bulldogs’ round five clash against Port Adelaide.
Weightman has not yet been seen at senior level this year, after sustaining an adductor injury which interrupted his pre-season.
But the 22-year-old has recovered, and will be a welcome inclusion come Saturday night.
Defensive duo Taylor Duryea and Tim O’Brien will replace Alex Keath (concussion) and Hayden Crozier (back), while last week’s substitute, Mitch Hannan, has earned a spot in the starting 22.
Bailey Smith (calf) and Robbie McComb (omitted) will miss the trip to Adelaide.

The game will begin at 7.50pm AEST (7.20pm local time) and be broadcast live via Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
