Captain Mickayla Ward will return to football this weekend when the Western Bulldogs face Collingwood in this Sunday’s VFLW Grand Final at Ikon Park.
Western Bulldogs vice-captain Tayla Dinuccio will also return to the side, while Kim Rennie and Jessie Davies will miss the Grand Final clash.
Defeating Collingwood two weeks ago at Adcon Stadium, the Bulldogs advanced straight through to the Grand Final, while the Magpies headed back to Adcon Stadium for a second straight week, where they defeated St Kilda by 14-points to secure their Grand Final place.
