The Western Bulldogs have made three changes for their Round 13 clash with Hawthorn on Thursday night.

As senior coach Luke Beveridge confirmed this morning, star midfielder Adam Treloar will return to the line-up.

Ryan Gardner will play his first match of the 2025 campaign, while Josh Dolan has been recalled.

The trio have been included at the expense of Jason Johannisen (illness), Taylor Duryea and Oskar Baker.

Both Treloar and Dolan will start on the bench alongside Sam Davidson, James Harmes and Lachie McNeil, with one to be named the sub an hour before the first bounce.

Gardner will start in the backline with James O’Donnell and Luke Cleary, while Rory Lobb, Lachy Bramble and Bailey Dale will start at half back.

Tim English, Marcus Bontempelli and Tom Liberatore will appear at the first centre bounce.

The match will begin at 7:30pm AEST on Thursday evening at Marvel Stadium.

It will be broadcast live via Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
