Easton Wood is a certain starter this weekend, after the skipper was confirmed as the sole change ahead of the Club’s Round 22 clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
It’ll be Wood’s first game since suffering an hamstring injury against Port Adelaide in Round 13.
Wood comes in for Zaine Cordy who suffered a minor fracture to his frontal sinus suffered during last week’s win over North Melbourne, while Lewis Young, Mitch Honeychurch, Callum Porter and Tim English have been named as emergencies.
The Bulldogs have won four of their last five meetings with the Blues and will be shooting for five straight on the weekend for the first time in the Club’s history.
First bounce is at 1.10pm with the match broadcast on Fox Footy from 1.00pm.
