Dogs have to go to war

BULLDOGS skipper Katie Brennan is faced with the shattering prospect of missing the AFLW grand final, but the Dogs will pull out all stops to ensure that doesn’t happen.

The club will announce today whether or not they go to the tribunal to fight a rough conduct charge levelled at Brennan but it can be safely assumed they will.

Brennan was charged over a sling tackle on Harriet Cordner during the Dogs’ tense win over Melbourne on Saturday.

Cordner was shaken but able to play out the game after she was awarded a free kick.

But with the AFL match review offering Brennan a onegame ban with an early guilty plea, she could miss the decider against the Brisbane Lions.
