North Melbourne and Sydney Swans stars face injury scans

North Melbourne secured a 55-point victory over the Sydney Swans at Arden Street, moving to the top of the AFLW ladder. However, the match resulted in significant injury concerns for star players on both sides.

Sydney ruck player Ally Morphett suffered a knee injury during the opening minutes of the game. After appearing in pain, she was seen using crutches and a brace, and will undergo scans to determine the severity of the injury. Her absence forced 19-year-old Maddie Quinn into the ruck role.

North Melbourne defender Emma Kearney sustained a hamstring injury in the final quarter while celebrating her 100th game milestone. Kearney expressed optimism regarding her recovery, noting her experience with such injuries and confidence in the club's medical staff.
