The Western Bulldogs have made one change to the 25-man squad named last week, with Mitch Honeychurch being added to an extended bench heading into the Eagles' clash at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Honeychurch joins listed emergencies from last week Will Minson and Bailey Williams in the 25-man squad.

Hard edged utility Jed Adcock comes out of the squad, making way for the tenacious 21-year-old midfielder.

Changes have been a regular feature for the team this season, but stability is a good things says defensive coach Rohan Smith.

“From a defensive standpoint, to have guys like Matthew Boyd, Marcus Adams and Matt Suckling play together again this week is a positive,” Smith said.

“It’s a good thing for the group to continue to build that chemistry along with our other defenders who have done so well to hold the fort.”

Final teams will be announced at 5:00pm Friday afternoon.
