Williamstown's 2008 Best and Fairest Liam Picken will line-up for the Western Bulldogs in the AFL club's February 13 NAB Cup opener.
Bulldogs coached Rodney Eade said the Seagull star would debut against Essendon in Darwin.
"Our new rookie Liam Picken will play," Eade told afl.com.au
The selection comes on the back of a solid pre-season by Picken, who has impressed in the AFL club's time trials over summer.
Picken was taken with selection 30 by the Bulldogs in the 2009 AFL Rookie Draft.
