I'm not a doctor, but early scans (of her face) seem to indicate the worst. Hope she's okay

Her previous injury was meniscus afaik, if she did that again it’s months potentially :/ she was walking on it after the game no crutches, no limp, no ice… but…

 

[CrowdedHouse]

I'm told it's an ACL (from a very close source).

AFLW dream up in smoke before preseason is really even going………?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Found it interesting reading today that the Hawks pulled all their AFLW players out of the finals games to prepare them for upcoming season. Assume pre season must have already started.

Preseason started 3 weeks ago but the draft was only four days ago, so the draftees and VFLW players have had different schedules. Draftees still doing year 12 will have different schedules anyway because the season starts before exams. I think a couple of others have had to move interstate and such with pre-season starting only shortly after the trade period too, so there's been a lot of things that they're working around with a part-time league.

What a tragic injury. Feel for her. It’s one thing to get an injury in a normal
GF win but the promotion aspect makes it so different.

She should be very proud of what she has accomplished this year and how much the string team culture and performance will have helped the careers of a number of teammates.

*. That's horrible.

Hope we keep her on for next season, assuming she pulls up okay from reco

Even if she doesn't I'd like the club to burn a list spot for her experience and locker room vibes.

 

[Lore]

They can put her on the injury list and bring in a rookie I think

Even if she doesn't I'd like the club to burn a list spot for her experience and locker room vibes.

Definitely. Put her in the coaches box, get her helping out at training, whatever she wants to do that keeps her involved with the program

Gold Coast pulled someone from East Fremantle from their finals campaign which I found interesting.

 

[Lore]

Good to see some of our new AFLW players supporting her in the comments on instagram too. It's good that they're building that kind of relationship already since it's quite early in the piece so far.

Quote from Woody regarding AFL signed players being allowed to play finals:

"It's always a risk when we put our players out there to play through the [VFLW] finals. But it was something that we considered, you know, them playing in big games and having that opportunity to play in high pressure situations and continue to hone their craft," Essendon head coach Natalie Wood said at Monday's fixture announcement.

"It's terribly unfortunate for Georgia and made yesterday quite bittersweet."

Other side is training with AFL players would be more beneficial, especially with such a short pre season.

Well they’re doing both so

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Well they’re doing both so

Only so much they can do though so more importantly AFL is not getting as much as other clubs

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Can completely understand the desire to run out and finish what she started with the VFL team, fairly emphatic, history-making season and would have felt compelled to cap it off. Rotten luck to say the least (and hindsight is always 20/20), but on the bright side we already have the best 2023 season debutant locked in.

 

[NorthernBastard]

The worst fears of going for the VFLW flag have come true - Personally I think they should have pulled players, but can understand they want to finish a couple of years of good work.

It is terrible luck however Georgia had to play due to there always being a risk of her doing the knee in AFLW R1.

Great reward for Georgia after a great season.

Assuming the Cornish captain still has a role with the club, do we anticipate Georgia working with the midfield and assisting the coaches like how Kyle Langford

I'd anticipate Nanscawen to do much better than Langford. We were terrible with him "helping out", and have been much better since he stopped.
