The Dogs come in as favourites under the roof and were forced into two changes, with Ryley Sanders and Will Lewis replacing injured duo Jordan Croft and Arty Jones.
Lewis is making his AFL debut after joining the Kennel in the preseason as an SSP addition.
As for the Giants, Adam Kingsley’s side is unchanged after emerging 27-point victors last Saturday against the Hawks.

Many would have been anticipating the Sam Darcy-Sam Taylor rematch after Darcy bagged five goals on him last August, but Taylor remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
It’s still a genuine rivalry between these two sides, though.
“It’s definitely real; we love beating these blokes,” Ed Richards told Fox Footy pre-game.
“We have got their measure over the past, so they’ll be looking to come out pretty hot to start, I’d think.”
Watch the Bulldogs and Giants from 1.15pm AEDT on Fox Footy, via channel 504 and streaming on Kayo Sports.
