WESTERN Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge could make several changes to his inconsistent side for Friday night's clash with Greater Western Sydney in Canberra.
While he wouldn't reveal specific omissions from the side that beat the Brisbane Lions last week, Beveridge confirmed midfielders Caleb Daniel, Bailey Williams and Bailey Dale were in the mix to play.
Despite winning four of their first five games this season, the Bulldogs are yet to string together a four-quarter performance in their premiership defence.
"We're taking a squad of 23 up (to Canberra), so we'll make some decisions this afternoon to finalise the team," Beveridge said at Melbourne Airport on Thursday morning.
"(Dale) is definitely in the mix to come in, but may not either.
"We're bringing Bailey Williams and Caleb (Daniel) up as well."
Beveridge confirmed midfielder Mitch Wallis would make his long-awaited comeback from a badly broken leg in the VFL on Friday night.
Forward Tory Dickson will join Wallis in the Footscray side to play North Ballarat, after overcoming a abdominal strain.
Fellow forward Stewart Crameri will miss another week with a hip complaint.
Beveridge conceded the Dogs' habit of coming from behind this season to win games was an "interesting" ways to secure four points, but he remains frustrated his players haven't been finishing off their good work in front of goal.
The premiers sit 17th in goal-kicking accuracy this season, with only 43 per cent of shots hitting the mark, and 17.20 against the Lions was evidence of their wayward ways.
On a positive note, they have been able to enhance their scoring efficiency from inside 50s significantly.
"We had 16 scorers last week off their own boot, so it's a good spread," Beveridge said.
"We had 12 goalkickers, but we kicked a lot of points that were very gettable.
"I think out of the five games (we've had some final scores) of 120 (and) 110, so we're kicking some reasonable scores.
"But if we can be a bit more accurate (in front of goal), who knows what that could turn into?"
