Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has made two changes to the side ahead of the trip to Brisbane this weekend, with Jack Redpath and Clay Smith brought in to face the Lions.
Redpath returns after missing last week’s win over Essendon due to suspension, while Smith will play his first game since Round 16 after averaging 22 disposals per game in the VFL.
Forward Tory Dickson will miss with a quad complaint while skipper Robert Murphy has been named as the travelling emergency, along with Matthew Boyd and Declan Hamilton.
The 26-year-old Redpath has kicked 12 goals in seven appearances this season after recovering from a ruptured ACL suffered in Round 18 last season.
