The Western Bulldogs have made three changes to their line-up for Sunday’s must-win AFLW clash with Fremantle in Perth.
The Dogs confirmed during the week that injured duo Isabel Huntington and Brooke Lochland would return for their first appearances of the 2019 season.
Youngster Eleanor Brown has won her spot back in the team after missing the previous two games.
Nicole Callinan was left out of the squad, alongside Celine Moody and Bonnie Toogood.
The Bulldogs’ finals hopes are on the line on Sunday, with the four points crucial to keeping them in contention for a top-two finish in the hotly-contested Conference A.
The Dogs have dropped their last two games after starting the season with back-to-back wins, while the Dockers have won three of their four matches.
