Luke Beveridge has named two debutants to face the Fremantle Dockers for the Club's round one clash on Easter Sunday at Etihad Stadium.

19-year old draftee Josh Dunkley has been named on the interchange bench in the final side alongside mature-age full back Marcus Adams.

The selection of Dunkley and Adams continues Senior Coach Luke Beveridge's confidence in the Club's young talent to step into the AFL ranks, having played eight debutants last season.

Tory Dickson has been withdrawn from the original squad, replaced by Nathan Hrovat.

Hrovat, Jack Redpath and Lin Jong will comprise the emergencies for Sunday.

Dunkley, Toby McLean, Shane Biggs and Tom Liberatore make up the four man bench, Liberatore returning to football after 12 months out of the game with a knee injury.

Assistant coach Steven King told westernbulldogs.com.au that 23-year old Adams should come into the side and contribute right away.

“He hasn’t had the standard path to league footy that a lot of 18-year olds have, King said.

“He’s tried his hand at rugby, played a lot of WAFL footy, and he’s the ultimate professional, so you know he’s going to give you everything he’s got when he’s out there.
