At least three changes will be made by the Western Bulldogs for Sunday afternoon’s clash with Collingwood at Marvel Stadium.
Key forward Josh Schache is set to return, after being named at centre half forward.
Lewis Young, Rhylee West, Taylor Duryea, Ed Richards, Roarke Smith and Lachie Young have been named on an extended interchange bench.
Gun midfielder Tom Liberatore will miss due to a knee injury, while Ryan Gardner and Bailey Dale have been omitted.

A team of 22 will be confirmed on Friday at 5pm.
