https://m.westernbulldogs.com.au/new...28/jlt-squad-1

Midfielder Tom Liberatore is set to play his first match in twelve months when the Western Bulldogs take on Gold Coast in their 2019 JLT Community Series match on Sunday.

The Bulldogs have named an extended 30-player squad for the clash at Mackay’s Great Barrier Reef Arena.

Liberatore, who sustained an ACL injury in Round 1 last season, has been named in a forward pocket.

The Bulldogs are also set to unveil multiple new faces.

Recruit Sam Lloyd has been named on a half forward flank, with fellow recruit Taylor Duryea named on an extended bench alongside draftees Bailey Smith, Rhylee West, Ben Cavarra, Will Hayes and Lachlan Young.

With up to eight players permitted on the bench for the pre-season matches, the Bulldogs’ extended squad will be reduced to a maximum of 26 players at 5pm tomorrow.

Some good players on that there bench. Not sure who I'd narrow it down to for round 1

Trengove named as first ruck with English CHF and The Bont FF and Schache on the bench

Interesting to note La Young in and no sign of Le Young

Avant Bulldogs, nous étions des Impériaux Français.

I guess Lewis is still behind Naughton, Cordy and Morris as a tall defender. He should get chances through the year if his form warrants it.

Lachie has received a few wraps during the pre-season so it looks like he is being rewarded with at least a squad spot.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Looking at the side as selected, we need rebound off half back so La Young ahead of Le Young.

We've reduced our squad down to 24 players.

Emergencies: F.Greene 30, L.Young 40, J.Schache 13, R.West 14, B.Cavarra 25, T.Dickson 29


So new players playing are: Lloyd, Duryea, Hayes and Smith.

I wonder why we aren't going with 8 on the bench??

Looks like our best 18 has been selected, and there's a few players who'd be very keen to ensure they have a place in the side come round one.

I think that we're trying to get as much time with a proper bench as possible so that players are pacing themselves like the regular season instead of going all in on a longer bench so that more players can get a smaller amount of game time.

Heading off to Mackay this morning (no room in my bag for you Easty). Club has advised players will be at Great Barrier Reef Arena at 4 pm today for an 'open' Captain's Run (for anyone else travelling/in Mackay).

I also noted the smaller than necessary bench, but Woofers might remember that Bevo played the same card in last years pre season games and his stated aim was to mimic the real season as early as possible.
