A CATWALK may not be the most natural setting for a bunch of Bulldogs, but the AFL stars are putting their bodies and fashion on the line for their community.
For the seventh year running, 11 Western Bulldogs players are glamming up for a fashion parade on Thursday to raise funds for women living with breast cancer.
But while many of the players may be premiership stars, their achievements will pale in significance to those of their catwalk partners during the BreastWest Night of Nights fashion gala.

For Belinda Phelan, of Sunbury, Thursday night’s event will have particular meaning as she takes to the catwalk on the anniversary of her first chemotherapy treatment.
The night will not only let her draw a line under the most difficult time of her life, but say thanks to those who helped her through it.
“It has been a quite a difficult 12 months. To have come through the other side and be up there celebrating is something to really look forward to,” Ms Phelan said. “It is a privilege to be up there with the other 10 women survivors and breast cancer patients.”
Dale Morris has been a driving force in getting his Bulldogs teammates to strut their stuff at Moonee Valley Racing Club.
