In positive news for the Club, Bulldogs father-son selection Ayce Cordy will make his much anticipated debut this weekend along with speedy midfielder Jason Tutt.

After some consistent performances in the VFL, Sydney Swans recruit Patrick Veszpremi is in the mix for selection after being added to an extended interchange list.
