Two changes have been confirmed for the Western Bulldogs’ clash with Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
Defender Hayden Crozier is back after missing one week with a toe injury, and experienced forward Tory Dickson returns for his first AFL match since round seven.
Billy Gowers makes way due to an ankle injury, while emerging defender Lachie Young had been omitted.
Young, Fletcher Roberts and yet-to-debut duo Rhylee West and Callum Porter have been named as the emergencies.
The Bulldogs will be desperate for a win, after three consecutive defeats – against North Melbourne, Geelong and West Coast Eagles – heading into the bye.
Carlton is coming off a win last weekend against the Brisbane Lions.
