The Western Bulldogs have made two changes to their side ahead of Saturday night's clash with Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium.

Lin Jong (collarbone) and Bailey Williams (foot) will be unavailable, while Caleb Daniel will return after missing last week's win over Geelong with knee soreness. Shane Biggs has earned a senior recall.

Biggs last played in the Round 13 loss to Port Adelaide. He gathered 22 touches and six marks playing for Footscray against North Melbourne a fortnight ago.

Hawthorn has had the better of the Bulldogs in recent meetings - winning four of the last five clashes, including a nine-point win over the Dogs in Round 23 last year.

Footscray will play the Box Hill Hawks in a curtain-raiser match at 3.20pm before the AFL match at 7.25pm.
