The Cork woman is playing in her first season for the Giants having retired from inter-county football in 2019. She was the 2016 Footballer of the Year and is widely recognised as one of the most talented and influential players to have played the game.

“This was an incredibly unfortunate accident and we’re thankful that Bríd has avoided serious injury.

“Bríd and her family have made incredible sacrifices to come to Australia to play in the AFL Women’s competition and we will be supporting them all the way through her recovery.

“We’d like to thank all those who provided Bríd with the best possible care both at the ground and in hospital across Sunday.”
