Two changes have been made by the Western Bulldogs for Wednesday night’s match against Richmond at Metricon Stadium.
Sam Lloyd and Toby McLean will both return to bolster the Bulldogs in the forward half of the ground.
Lloyd has had two scratch matches back after recovering from a shoulder injury to prove his fitness, with he and McLean among the Bulldogs’ best in last week’s hit-out against the Suns.
Making way due to injury is last round debutant Callum Porter (shoulder), while Lachie Young has been omitted.
Young has been named as an emergency, alongside Jackson Trengove, Roarke Smith and Jordon Sweet.
The match will also mark three AFL milestones for the Bulldogs.
Jack Macrae will play his 150th game, Caleb Daniel his 100th and Bailey Williams his 50th.
The match will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and Fox Footy.
