As the NAB Challenge nears its finals round, the Bulldogs and the Dockers are set to clash on Wednesday night at Ethihad Stadium.
The Bulldogs welcome the return of Shaun Higgins whose fractured left foot ended his season early last year. Tom Williams is also ready to make his comeback after multiple injuries have affected his availability in recent seasons. Stewart Crameri remains in the squad, with Daniel Giansiricusa and Liam Jones joining him, however skipper Ryan Griffin has been sidelined due to back soreness.
