Easton Wood is amongst four inclusions to the Western Bulldogs extended squad named to take on the Sydney Swans Sunday afternoon.
Injuring his hamstring late in the Bulldogs’ round six match against Collingwood, Wood will return for the Sydney Cricket Ground clash in what will also be fellow defender Ryan Hargrave’s 200th game for the Club.

Missing last week’s fixture against Geelong through suspension, Dylan Addison also return to the Club’s back six bringing added grit and uncompromising pressure to the side.
Bulldogs Assistant Coach Steven King said both players would bolster the Bulldogs defensive stocks.
“Pretty solid backline now with the inclusions of Addison [and] Wood when he is down there,” King said.
“I would also like to make a mention of Ryan Hargrave playing his 200th game this week for the Club - a fantastic achievement.”
At the other end of the ground, agile big man Ayce Cordy will resume his place in the Club’s forward line after being a late withdrawal last week.
Young hard-nut Clay Smith has been added to the extended interchange bench and will find out tomorrow afternoon if he’ll line-up in his fifth senior game after teams are finalized.
Justin Sherman has been omitted from the squad.
