Excellent another obstacle to overcome. Our upper lips are going to be sore from being stiff so often.

Well hopefully we get a look at Fergus Greene now.

Yeah, just saw it, out a month with foot injury.

A month? Try six weeks!

Unbelievable just as we are gaining some momentum.Why we getting so may foot injuries across the league? Surely Etihad is too hard?

Well hopefully we get a look at Fergus Greene now.

Would be good for him to get a shot at it. He has been playing well at VFL level.

Just bad luck, that's all.

I really want to see that.

If Cordy and Sicily play on each other odds on both will be suspended for the next match!

Yep. Other clubs are worse off than us, so it’s ok....

IN: Porter, Daniel
OUT: Jong, Williams

I went Porter over Greene as Hawthorn typically are extremely organised in the back half and Greene may struggle to get his hands on the footy.

Biggs gets another chance after fluffing his last audition.

Wonder if we would consider giving Biggs a run with role.

I know that the cupboards are bare but Biggs cannot just be given a spot in the side when he's been just dire all year long. I would have been fine if the Port game was the last time that I ever saw him play because he killed us every time he touched the ball or even got near it.

That was a nightmare first quarter Biggs had in that game. He kept turning it over.

TEAM NEWS: Daniel, Biggs back for Hawks

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.

2 premiership players come in. That's good enough for me.

Biggs couldn't play any worse than he did in the Port game so it's onwards and upwards from here. With Morris and Adams back in defense with him he will be better....I hope.
