Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has confirmed that his side will make four changes for Friday night's clash against Essendon.
The Bulldogs are reeling from a disappointing 52-point loss to Carlton last Sunday to fall to 12th on the ladder.
Suspended defender Hayden Crozier will almost certainly return from his one-match ban and youngster Cody Weightman will make his debut.
"Already this week we've had the four changes, none forced by injury, but in a sense its reward for players who are working hard behind the scenes for their opportunity," Beveridge said on Thursday morning.
Lewis Young, Matt Suckling, Ryan Gardner, Jordon Sweet and Callum Porter are other potential inclusions.
Josh Schache (two disposals), Bailey Dale (six disposals) and Rhylee West (nine disposals) were all quiet against the Blues and could face the selection axe.
Beveridge said his side has moved on from the Blues loss.
"We haven't really gone to school too much on that," Beveridge said.
"They've changed significantly since then, not just personnel wise but the way that they're playing.
"The momentum and the surge side of the game is significantly different to what we've seen in the past."
The Bulldogs and Bombers go head-to-head at Metricon Stadium on Friday night at 7.50pm (AEST).
