Footscray has submitted its round eight team to face Werribee on Sunday afternoon.

Luke Cleary returns to the line-up, after being held over as a travelling emergency for the AFL side last week, while AFL emergencies Lachie McNeil and Tim O’Brien have also been named.

Angus Bade has been recalled.

Laith Vandermeer will continue to build up his match minutes in his second game back from a rib injury.

James O’Donnell comes out of the side following his debut call-up to the seniors, while Joel Garner, Josh Patullo and Bailey Young are set to miss too.

The Dogs will look to bounce back when they meet Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval.

The match will be broadcast free-to-air on Channel 7 from 2pm, with score updates available via @FootscrayVFL on Twitter.

As a home game, the match will also be free to attend for Bulldogs’ members, $10 for non-member adults, $5 for non-member concession and kids free.
