An unchanged line-up has been named for Sunday afternoon’s clash with the Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Stadium.

Key defender Lewis Young, who was a late inclusion in place of Bailey Williams for the win against Hawthorn, has retained his place in the 22.

Williams is one of four emergencies, alongside yet-to-debut ruckman Jordon Sweet, the recently re-signed Fergus Greene, and Pat Lipinski.

The Bulldogs will be chasing three consecutive wins to start the season for the first time since 2009, after wins against Sydney and Hawthorn in the opening two rounds.

But they will have to overcome a competitive Gold Coast Suns outfit that has a 1-1 record after two matches, having defeated Fremantle by three points and lost to St Kilda by just one point.
