Morris returns after missing three weeks with a broken arm, while Johannisen was a late withdrawal from the Bulldogs’ Round 20 meeting with the Lions in Brisbane.
Jack Redpath (suspension) and Mitch Wallis (omitted) will miss.
The Bulldogs have won three of their past four games and sit in ninth place on the AFL ladder, seven per cent behind the West Coast Eagles in eighth.
