A sickening head clash has rocked Friday night’s AFLW contest between the Gold Coast Suns and GWS Giants, with play stopped for more than five minutes.
Sun Elise Barwick had been charging towards to footy on the wing inside the opening minute when Giant Jessica Doyle came from the other direction.
“Doyle came in nice and low as you want your players to do in those occasions,” commentator Dan Harford added.It was a tough way for Barwick’s night to end in just her fourth AFLW game. Barwick was taken from the field on the stretcher, with GWS skipper Alicia Eva seen going over to check on the injured Sun.The Suns later confirmed Barwick was up and walking around the rooms in great signs for the 24-year-old, who will take no further part in Friday’s contest.
