Bríd Stack’s husband has admitted they went through a “scary few hours” when they weren’t sure of the outcome from the serious neck fracture sustained in her AFL pre-season debut on Sunday.

Stack has been released from hospital and is on the long road to recovery, her AFL club in Sydney confirmed. The Cork legend suffered the injury near the end of her debut with the GWS Giants in a practice match in Norwood, outside Adelaide.
