The Western Bulldogs have made three changes for their clash with Collingwood at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.

Key forward Josh Schache will make his debut for the Club, while Tory Dickson will return from injury and Roarke Smith will play his first game for the year after 18 disposals and five marks last week for Footscray.

Mitch Wallis, Lukas Webb and Josh Dunkley have been omitted.

Taken by the Bulldogs in the 2017 Trade Period after playing 27 games for Brisbane, 20-year-old Schache has been in excellent form for Footscray, kicking three goals in each of his last three outings.

Dickson will return after missing the past month with a hamstring injury, sustained in the Bulldogs’ loss to Fremantle in round 5.

Smith, who has played two career games, will have his first senior outing since Round 22, 2016. The 21-year-old has endured two knee reconstructions (2015 and 2017).

The Bulldogs have had the better of the Magpies recently, winning their past five games by an average of 13 points.

Bounce down is at 7.50pm AEST.
