The Footscray Bulldogs will welcome six players to the fold for their Saturday afternoon trip to take on Frankston.
Tim O’Brien, Lachie McNeil and Ryan Gardner will feature, alongside Josh Patullo and recently-signed Connor Smith.
The four AFL emergencies in Oskar Baker, Mitch Hannan, Jordon Sweet and Caleb Poulter have also been included in the line-up, with one to be named the tactical substitute tonight.
Roarke Smith will have another opportunity to build on his match fitness following last week’s return from an ankle injury.
Luke Cleary impressed against the Cats in round 12, and will be keen to back up that performance, while skipper Lachie Sullivan will look to make an impact in the middle.
The first bounce will be at 1.05pm AEST at Kinetic Stadium (Frankston) on Saturday afternoon.
The match will be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vfl, with score updates available via @FootscrayVFL on Twitter.
