The Bulldogs' women sit atop the ladder with a percentage of more than 600 and will play the last of four clashes against Bridgenorth at Youngtown Oval on Saturday.
Second-year player Emma Attard said her side was determined to get the win for five-year-old Isla, who was born with apert syndrome and has already endured 13 life-saving surgeries.

"It's a great cause, I think all of the girls are really excited to play for such a great cause and showcase our skills for the final match of the season too," she said.
South Launceston finished third in their maiden TWL North campaign last year, but have been the standout team in the re-branded NTFAW competition.
Attard said hard work had been the catalyst for South's rise in 2019.
"We have an amazing coach and leadership team and a really great bunch of players," Attard said.
"We all mesh really well together and I think everyone's commitment to the game and training is a big part of our wins."
