Footscray will be looking to keep their top-four hopes alive when they take on Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval on Sunday afternoon.

The Bulldogs currently sit in sixth place on the VFL ladder, equal on points with Sandringham (4th) and Port Melbourne (5th), and with Geelong perched in seventh four pionts back, the fight is on for the all-important double chance.

With Collingwood, winners of 11 straight, to come in the final round, Ashley Hansen's men will be looking to continue their strong pre-bye form into the final rounds and into September.

The Dogs will be bolstered by Tom Campbell, Bailey Williams and Mitch Honeychurch all returning from injury.

With the AFL team playing on Sunday, the full bench from the AFL squad is included below.
