Match Details
Western Bulldogs
Midfielder Lin Jong will play his first competitive match since rupturing his ACL in June 2017, while fans will get their first look at Jackson Trengove, Hayden Crozier, Aaron Naughton and Josh Schache in Bulldogs colours for the first time. Prime movers like Easton Wood and Marcus Bontempelli have also been named.
Hawthorn
Ben Stratton will make his awaited return to the game, having overcome the PCL injury that prematurely ended his 2017 campaign.
