The Western Bulldogs have made two changes for Friday night’s clash with Geelong at Etihad Stadium.

Defender Matthew Suckling will return from achilles soreness, while Brad Lynch will make his debut for the Dogs.

Caleb Daniel (knee soreness) is unavailable, and Mitch Honeychurch has been omitted.

Suckling hasn’t played since the Club’s Round 11 match against Melbourne, but got through training this morning and has been named to take on the Cats.

Lynch will become the 1007th player to appear at senior level with the Bulldogs.

The 20-year-old West Australian is the fourth player to debut this year, joining Billy Gowers, Aaron Naughton and Ed Richards to pull on the red, white and blue for the first time.

The last time the Dogs beat Geelong was in 2009, with the Cats on an 11-game winning streak.
