The 16-a-side clash sees the two Bulldogs teams face each other for the first time, as they prepare for round one.
The reduced 15-minute quarters will allow players a last minute opportunity to raise their hands for a senior berth ahead of season proper.
Highlighted by the return of Bob Murphy and Clay Smith - who will line up on opposing teams – the competition will be heightened as the players battle against their teammates.
The Footscray Bulldogs will wear the traditional blue hoops as they play their first game at VU Whitten Oval since 1996, while the Western Bulldogs have adopted the red clash guernsey.
