The Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn get their first chance to test their prospects against real opposition when they collide in the first match simulation contest on Friday from Whitten Oval.
In a year the Dogs will be looking to bounce back and play finals, they’ve split their list into two sides for their two practice matches against the Hawks. The likes of Adam Treloar, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, Cody Weightman, Marcus Bontempelli, Ed Richards, Bailey Dale, Alex Keath and Tim English will all miss Friday’s game.
Meanwhile the new-look Hawks, who’ve been savaged by injury this off-season including key defensive pair James Blank and Denver Grainger-Barrass as well Dylan Moore, Will Day and Changkuoth Jiath, have opted to rest Luke Breust and Karl Amon.
