A youthful Western Bulldogs line-up will make the journey to Ballarat this Sunday for the Club’s third round NAB Cup match-up against North Melbourne.

With 12 changes made to the squad that defeated Carlton last week, Senior Coach Brendan McCartney will give many of the Club’s recruits the opportunity to make an impression ahead of the AFL Premiership Season.

James Mulligan, Tom Hill, Brodie Moles and Andrew Hooper are in the mix to make their first senior appearance for the year, while recruits Daniel Pearce, Fletcher Roberts, Jack Redpath, Tom Campbell and Lin Jong have also been named in the extended squad.
 
Michael Talia, Matt Panos and Zephaniah Skinner return to the squad line-up after playing the NAB Cup opener and being rested against the Blues.
