Hannebery, Gray return for AFL clash

Ed Richards, the grand-nephew of AFL great Lou Richards and grandson of fellow Collingwood star Ron Richards, will make his senior debut.

Caleb Daniel, Lin Jong and Lukas Webb are the other inclusions.

Tom Boyd and Mitch Wallis were named as emergencies.

The Bulldogs had already dropped Fletcher Roberts and lost Tom Liberatore and Hayden Crozier to knee injuries.

West Coast named Willie Rioli for his AFL debut and Will Schofield was dropped.

Meanwhile, a quad muscle injury means Collingwood forward Chris Mayne is off their emergency list for Saturday’s match MCG match against GWS.
