The Western Bulldogs have made two changes ahead of a clash against Carlton under the roof of Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Cody Weightman returns to the line-up after missing last week’s defeat due to groin soreness.

Caleb Poulter comes into the AFL team for the first time since Round 4, with James O’Donnell and Aaron Naughton missing due to concussion.

Poulter joins Ryley Sanders, Joel Freijah, Lachie McNeil and Harvey Gallagher on the interchange bench, with one player set to be named sub an hour before the game.

Alex Keath, Caleb Daniel and Riley Garcia have been named emergencies.

The game begins at 4.35pm AEST and will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.

The Dogs can move ahead in the win-loss ratio to 9-8 with victory over Carlton.

With only standing room tickets remaining for the clash, Bulldogs members are encouraged to get to the game early to secure their seat.

Reserved Seat members or General Admission members will still be permitted to scan in to access the match until allocation is exhausted.
