The Footscray Bulldogs will face Frankston on Saturday 7 June 2014, in the search of their third consecutive win for the season.
The return of Fletcher Roberts and Liam Jones to the Footscray side will shore up the Bulldogs spine.
Daniel Pearce is also anticipated to play his first home and away game for Footscray after injuring his knee in a practice match during the pre-season and will add some run to the back six.
Continuing on from his stint as a defender in the AFL, Jake Stringer has been named on the half back flank.
New recruit Mitch Honeychurch also appears destined for a more permanent run through the midfield after being named onball and will keep chipping away towards a senior debut.
Footscray will line up against Frankston at Frankston Oval for the first time this weekend, with the first bounce scheduled for 2pm.
