Two changes have been made by the Western Bulldogs for Thursday night’s prime-time clash against the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium.
Debutant Callum Porter and forward Billy Gowers have been added to the team.
Making way due to personal reasons is Lachie Hunter, while Bailey Dale will miss with an ankle injury.
Porter’s debut comes in his third season as a Bulldog, after being recruited with pick 74 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft.
He becomes the Bulldogs’ fifth debutant for 2020.
Both teams will be out to claim back-to-back wins, with the ninth-placed Bulldogs overcoming Essendon last Friday and the seventh-placed Suns defeating the Sydney Swans.
The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy.
