After rollercoaster of dog bites and concussion and isolation, Ailish Considine hoping for a Grand finale

Ailish Considine of the Crows is tackled by Tarni Evans of the Giants during a round two game in February. Considine sustained a concussion in that match and has struggled for gametime since.

IT is difficult to articulate how eventful the past year has been for Ailish Considine, but as she sits and reflects on it now, one word seems apt: “Rollercoaster,” she says with a wry smile.

If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry. Last May, the Clare footballer and AFLW star was offered a new Adelaide Crows contract. She then had her initial visa application rejected and had to redo the entire process.
