The Western Bulldogs have made six changes to their Round 9 team ahead of Saturday afternoon’s VFLW match against Collingwood at Victoria Park.

Cassidy Mailer, Mali McLeod, Mia-Rae Clifford, Freya Taylor, London Ashcroft and Ellie Cornish have all been recalled.

They will replace AFLW-listed players Ellie Blackburn, Dom Carruthers, Jess Fitzgerald, Analea McKee and Jasmyn Smith, plus Emmalyn Nekrep.

The VFLW Bulldogs are searching for their fourth straight win, most recently knocking off reigning premier Port Melbourne last Friday night.

The first bounce will be at 3pm tomorrow afternoon.

The match will be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vflw for those who can’t make it, with game-day updates also available via @BulldogsW on X (Twitter).

The Bulldogs currently sit fourth on the ladder and a game behind ladder-leaders Box Hill.

The top six will qualify for a four-week finals series, culminating in the Grand Final on Sunday 21 July.
