Utility Christian Howard will line-up for the Western Bulldogs for the first time since round one against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Howard alongside key forward Liam Jones are the final two inclusions set to take on Port in the Charlie Sutton Tribute match as the Bulldogs finalise their squad.

Watch Assistant Coach Brett Montgomery talk you through the side for Sunday on the media player above or the Club Mobile App.

Howard has worked relentlessly for Williasmtown in previous weeks to return to the senior side after injuring his knee in the round one clash with West Coast Eagles.

His skilful disposal and pace will be invaluable rotating through the midfield and back six on Sunday.

At the other end of the ground Liam Jones has earned his recall to the senior side after battling hard in the VFL, impressing in the forward line.

After being named on an extended interchange bench in last night’s team selection Fletcher Roberts, Clay Smith and Patrick Veszpremi have been named as emergencies.
