Brennan’s battle over

WESTERN Bulldogs AFLW skipper Katie Brennan will be able to play in Round 1 next season after settling her grievance with the AFL over her controversial grand-final ban.

Brennan missed the Dogs’ first women’s premiership after a failed tribunal challenge and appeal, which saw a onematch rough conduct ban increased to two. She took her grievance to the Australian Human Rights Commission but that was dropped yesterday after the AFL agreed to amend the penalty system.
