The winner of the match will face premiers Geelong in one of next week's preliminary finals. The loser will be finished for the season.
It is a mild night in Melbourne, with a strong wind having moderated late in the day, so conditions are excellent for football.
Shaun Higgins, Josh Hill, Will Minson and Jarrad Harbrow will start on the bench for the Bulldogs, while Nick Malceski, Pat Veszpremi, Kieran Jack and Luke Albett will be on the pine for the Swans.
