Eleven-time All-Ireland winner Bríd Stack has been hospitalised following a clash on her pre-season debut for AFLW side Greater Western Sydney Giants. The Cork legend, 34, received extensive treatment on the pitch at the Norwood Oval in Adelaide earlier today before being transferred to hospital. GWS Giants tweeted: "Unfortunately Irish recruit Brid Stack has been taken to hospital following spinal precaution protocols after a collision in a tackle late in the fourth quarter. She’s in the best possible care and we will provide a full update when we have further information." The 10 and a half hour time difference between Adelaide and Ireland means it will most likely be overnight before that full update is provided.
