The Western Bulldogs have made one change ahead of a blockbuster Friday night clash against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium. 
 
Ed Richards returns for his first game in a month after suffering a hamstring injury, while Rhylee West returns to the starting 22 after a stellar final quarter against Fremantle last weekend.
 
Mitch Hannan will miss the clash with a calf complaint.
 
The Bulldogs have also named their sub ahead of the fixture, with Anthony Scott to be injected into the Friday night fixture.
