The Western Bulldogs have made two changes for Sunday’s Hampson-Hardeman Cup battle against Melbourne at Casey Fields.

Daisy Bateman has been recalled for the clash, while Sarah Hartwig has been cleared to play following a late withdrawal (neck) during the round six on-field warm-up.

Heidi Woodley (foot) will be sidelined through injury, while Millie Brown has been omitted.

Sunday will mark the 13^th meeting between the Dogs and Dees, with the hosts leading eight wins to four.

Melbourne are currently in possession of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup.

The Cup was named in honour of women’s footy pioneers Barb Hampson and Lisa Hardeman, and was established by the two clubs for the inaugural exhibition match held at the MCG in 2013.

The Bulldogs will be looking to bounce back from a fortnight of misfortune, and solidify a top-eight spot as the home-and-away season enters its final month.

The first bounce will be at 3.10pm AEDT.

7Mate will broadcast the match live, with score updates also available via @BulldogsW on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
