The Western Bulldogs have included a small and a tall ahead of Saturday night’s match against Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

South Australian Caleb Daniel returns to the team after overcoming a calf complaint. The 19-year-old last played in the Bulldogs’ Round Four win over Carlton.

Key-position player Jack Redpath has also been included for his first game of the season. The 194cm, 100kg former rookie has been named at full-forward.
