WESTERN BULLDOGS defenders Brian Lake and Tom Williams are a chance to play in attack against Collingwood at Telstra Dome on Sunday, according to coach Rodney Eade.
Eade said the absence of key Magpie forwards Anthony Rocca and Travis Cloke through injury and suspension respectively gave his side a chance to experiment.
"We'll have to weigh that up at this stage," Eade said at Whitten Oval on Wednesday.
"Both Tom and Brian can play forward, and Tom can play on a small as well, so I think we've just got to wait and see who lines up."
Despite the loss of Rocca and Cloke, Eade said the Magpies shouldn't be underestimated given the number of quality small forwards they have.
"Obviously Cloke and Rocca are quality players, but I think a lot of their goals have come from their small forwards," he said.
"[Paul] Medhurst, [Dale] Thomas, [Alan] Didak, [Leon] Davis and [Scott] Pendlebury are all good quality players.
"I think they'll be smarting from last week, and they proved against Geelong what they can do, so it will be a big game for us and a big crowd and we're looking forward to it."
