The Bulldogs have confirmed one change to the line-up that defeated Richmond last Saturday, finalising their team for Sunday’s round three match against Hawthorn in Launceston.
Lukas Webb will be the first debutant of 2015, coming in to the side for defender Easton Wood who will miss with a hamstring injury sustained at training on Thursday.
Webb has been rewarded after a consistent month of VFL practice matches, and got the call up on Thursday afternoon from senior coach Luke Beveridge.
“He (Luke) just said I’d been playing pretty well, training pretty well on the track and a spot opened up so they were happy to play me,” said Webb.
Nathan Hrovat, Fletcher Roberts and Koby Stevens will be emergencies for the Sunday afternoon match.
