The Western Bulldogs have confirmed at least one change to the team which will face St Kilda on Sunday.
Key forward Josh Schache returns for Bulldogs’ second 2019 JLT Community Series clash, at Mars Stadium in Ballarat, while first-year rookie Lachlan Young has been added to an extended seven-player interchange bench.
Patrick Lipinski misses out from the team which played the Gold Coast Suns, with the Bulldogs electing to name a team of 25 players, as opposed to the 24 players used against the Suns.
Lipinski has been named as one of five emergencies, alongside Tory Dickson, Fergus Greene, and draftees Rhylee West and Ben Cavarra.
Schache, who was named in the extended squad for last week’s clash with the Suns but was not named in the final team, was selected after kicking three goals in a VFL practice match against Box Hill Hawks last weekend.
