The Bulldogs have named a 26-man squad for their clash against Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Charlie Clarke has been named to make his AFL debut after impressing in the VFL over past weeks.
The 20-year-old will line up in the forward line and bring plenty of energy to the fixture.
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Tom Liberatore will both return to the 22 after missing the past fortnight due to personal reasons and injuries respectively.
Oskar Baker and Caleb Poulter have been added to an extended bench which includes James O’Donnell, Jack Macrae, Lachie Bramble, Harvey Gallagher, Rory Lobb and Caleb Daniel.
Cody Weightman comes out of the side after suffering an elbow injury, while Rhylee West has been suspended.
A final 23 will be named on Friday evening, with the substitute named an hour before the first bounce.
Bouncedown will be 4pm local time, with the game live streamed on Fox Footy and Kayo.
The Bulldogs will put our youngest fans in the spotlight by celebrating Kidzmania this weekend. All kids attend for $5 this weekend and there will be plenty of activations including the Kids Club at Gate 7.
