Western Bulldogs captain Katie Brennan looks set to miss the NAB AFLW Grand Final on Saturday afternoon after being offered a one-match suspension by the Match Review Panel.

Brennan was charged with rough conduct against Melbourne's Harriet Cordner after applying a sling tackle on the defender, where her arms were pinned and her head hit the ground. Cordner was paid a free kick and was able to take it.

The tackle on Cordner was assessed as careless conduct with low impact to the head.

As it was a second classifiable offence this season, she has been offered a one-match suspension with an early guilty plea. She risks a two-match suspension if a challenge is unsuccessful.

The star forward had already accepted a reprimand for a rough conduct charge against Fremantle's Steph Cain back in round one.

In a media conference earlier on Monday before the ruling was made, Brennan said she would challenge any suspension offered by the MRP.

It is expected Ellie Blackburn would captain the Bulldogs in Brennan's absence, as she has done so when Brennan was sidelined with an ankle injury.
