Late change for Dogs

Sporting News Logo

The Western Bulldogs have made a late change for their preliminary final with St Kilda at the MCG on Saturday night.

Veteran Mitch Hahn, who was originally omitted from the team to accommodate the return of All Australian defender Dale Morris, has been recalled at the expense of youngster Andrew Hooper.

Hooper kicked one goal in his debut against Sydney last week but at just 19 years of age and virtually no experience, coach Rodney Eade has decided to leave him out.

St Kilda are unchanged for the match which is expected to be played in wet and windy conditions.
