The Western Bulldogs will be bolstered by the return of sharp-shooter Tory Dickson for Saturday night’s clash with St Kilda.
Dickson is one of three inclusions to take on the Saints alongside Roarke Smith and Lin Jong.
Marcus Adams (shoulder) is unavailable for selection while Fletcher Roberts and Mitch Honeychurch have been omitted.
Dickson’s last appearance was in round 11. The 30-year-old has played just five games this season following successive hamstring injuries.
Smith will return after missing last Sunday’s loss to Port Adelaide. The 21-year-old and teammate Kieran Collins were involved in a minor car accident last Friday, while the Dogs will welcome back Jong following collarbone surgery.
The Bulldogs have had the better of the Saints recently, winning five of the past seven matches.
First bounce is at 7.25pm AEST at Etihad Stadium. The match will be broadcast on Fox Sports from 7.20pm AEST.
