Bríd Stack is recovering after a neck fracture.

Bríd Stack says she’s “devastated” but counting her blessings in the wake of the serious neck fracture she sustained in an AFL pre-season debut on Sunday.

Thanks for all the lovely messages, to all involved with the GWS Giants, to the exemplary healthcare staff in Adelaide and to a little man whose hugs make everything better.”
