Bradshaw hasn’t played since the Bulldogs’ round two win over Corowa-Rutherglen as he battles a back problem.
Wodonga coach Dean Harding said the Bulldogs would assess conditions at Norm Minns Oval before deciding whether to promote Harry McKimmie or Nick Beattie from the emergencies.
“‘Braddy’ got through the week on the track and, with another week, should be spot on for Myrtleford at home,” he said.
“We are just making sure he is right and won’t be taking risks with anyone, because the competition is too good to do that.”
Key Bulldogs defender Jackson Heagney-Steart has recovered from a knock to his leg suffered in the interleague game and will be fit to take his place on returning Magpies forward Michael Newton.
