Four draftees will get their first taste of Western Bulldogs football in tomorrow’s sold-out pre-season match simulation against Essendon.

Cooper Hynes, Josh Dolan, Luke Kennedy and Sam Davidson, all of which were picked up in the most recent draft, have been added to the Dogs’ 35-player squad.

Recruit Matt Kennedy has also been named; set to run out in the red, white and blue against opposition for the first time.

Pre-season supplemental selection period hopefuls Dom Brew and Brayden Crossley will also feature.

Marcus Bontempelli, Rory Lobb, Taylor Duryea, James Harmes and Tom Liberatore are among some of the more experienced players to be included.
