The Western Bulldogs have made four changes to their team ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Sydney at VU Whitten Oval. 

Isabelle Pritchard and Gemma Lagioia will return to the line-up, while Rocky Cranston and Heidi Woodley have been recalled.

Kirsten McLeod (concussion), Dom Carruthers (concussion), Keely Coyne (ACL) and Alice Edmonds (finger) will all miss after sustaining injuries in round seven.

With all 21 available senior-listed players selected, three train-on players in Jorja Borg, Dom Carbone and Sarah Skinner have been named emergencies.

Who is your favourite Indigenous Player?

We asked the AFLW squad who their favourite Indigenous Player of all time was.

The design represents Mirring (country) on Gunditjmara, where the Bulldogs are affiliated with in south-west Victoria, and is inspired by the Lake Condah Possum Skin Cloak.

More information on the guernsey design can be viewed here.

Fox Footy will broadcast the game live – which will be the first-ever meeting between the two sides - with the first bounce at 1.05pm AEDT.
