23-year-old Dylan Van Unen, a mature aged recruit from Frankston’s VFL team will make his debut against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium on Sunday.
Van Unen was one of three late changes for the Bombers with Travis Colyer and Leroy Jetta also coming into the team.
David Myers (ill), Dustin Fletcher (soreness) and Paul Chapman (ankle) are all late exclusions.
The defender was selected by the club with pick 51 in the 2012 national draft.
He has been a consistent performer across halfback for the club’s VFL team last season.
Van Unen is a tall defender with a good leap who can read the play well.
He has agility and the ability to play on either a small or tall forward.
A strong start to the 2014 season at VFL level has seen him promoted to play his first match at senior level.
