The Western Bulldogs have made four changes for Saturday night's Gather Round showdown against Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval.

Louis Emmett will make his debut, while Ed Richards has been cleared to play after being a late withdrawal last weekend.

Harvey Gallagher has been named for his first outing of the 2026 AFL season and Cooper Hynes has been recalled.

Arty Jones (hamstring), Tim English (knee), Lachie Jaques (managed) and Lachie McNeil (omitted) make way.

The Bulldogs enter the clash with a 4-0 record so far this season, most recently defeating Essendon by 34 points on Easter Sunday. 

The clash will also mark Sam Darcy’s 50th career game.

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy / Kayo, with the game starting at 7:35pm AEST (7:05pm ACST).
