The Western Bulldogs have named their squad of 26 players ahead of Sunday’s match against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.
Key defender Lewis Young, tall forward Josh Schache, on-baller Patrick Lipinski and emerging ruck Jordon Sweet have been added to the team of 23 that defeated West Coast last Sunday.
Defender Taylor Duryea is also set to play his 150th AFL match.
The Bulldogs will be forced into making at least one change, with key back Ryan Gardner to miss the next 6-8 weeks with a shoulder injury.
The squad will be trimmed to a team of 22 plus four emergencies at 5pm on Friday night.
The medical sub will be confirmed one hour before the first bounce on Sunday, with the match to be broadcast live on Fox Footy from 4pm.
