The Western Bulldogs have made five changes ahead of Sunday’s clash with Melbourne, as the final sides were announced on Friday.

Tom Liberatore is a confirmed starter after three weeks in the VFL, with Dale Morris, Tom Boyd, Zaine Cordy and Mitch Honeychurch also named.

Honeychurch will play his first game for the season after a run of strong form in the VFL stretching back into 2016 where he averaged 27 touches, four marks and six tackles per game.

Matthew Boyd, Travis Cloke, Fletcher Roberts, Marcus Adams and Tim English will miss, while Tom Campbell, Lukas Webb and Bailey Williams have been named as emergencies.
