The Western Bulldogs have made four changes for tomorrow night’s clash with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Key back Zaine Cordy (concussion) will return to the Bulldogs’ side after missing the Dogs’ round 11 loss to Melbourne, while Mitch Wallis, Lukas Webb and Shane Biggs have all earned a senior recall.
Tory Dickson (hamstring), Matthew Suckling (achilles) and Dale Morris (knee) are unavailable and Jordan Roughead has been omitted.
Morris had minor arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday to repair some slight meniscus damage in his knee, while Suckling, who has been carrying some achilles soreness, is being managed. Both Morris and Suckling are not expected to sidelined for an extended period.
In the last VFL match before the bye against Essendon, Wallis gathered 23 disposals and Webb 21 disposals and three tackles.
Biggs’ last senior match was in round 4 against Sydney – playing for Footscray he collected 30 disposals, seven marks and four tackles.
Nothing separates the two clubs since 2013, with three wins each. Prior to that, the Bulldogs won seven straight games from 2007-13.
