Key forward Josh Schache has been named for the Western Bulldogs’ second 2019 JLT Community Series clash, against St Kilda on Sunday afternoon.
The Bulldogs have named an extended 30-player squad for the clash at Ballarat’s Mars Stadium.
Schache, who was named in the extended squad for last week’s clash with the Gold Coast Suns but was not named in the final team, kicked three goals in a VFL practice match against Box Hill Hawks and has been named at centre half forward.
The extended 30-player squad remains the same as for round one of the JLT Community Series, with the Bulldogs to again field a strong side.
With up to eight players permitted on the bench for the pre-season matches, the Bulldogs’ extended squad will be reduced to a between 22 and 26 players at 5pm tomorrow.
Those not selected in the final team are expected to line-up in for Footscray Bulldogs in a VFL practice match at Sandringham, also at Mars Stadium, at 12.30pm on Sunday.
