Greater Western Sydney head coach Alan McConnell has hailed the impression Bríd Stack has made on the AFLW squad and for showing why she was a “champion”, as a player and personality, within the squad prior to suffering a broken neck on Sunday, and in her reaction to the devastating blow.

Stack is in Australia with her husband and 14-month old son having accepted the challenge of taking on Aussie rules football and had shown promising form until hitting the ground in agony following a challenge by Ebony Marinoff in a pre-season game against Adelaide.
