Erika O’Shea will miss Saturday’s AFLW Preliminary Final against Melbourne Demons as she continues to recover from an eye injury.

The Macroom woman failed a fitness test this week after sustaining the injury in the game against Richmond in round ten of the season. O’Shea accidentally ran into the back of Courtney Wakefield's elbow three weeks ago in Arden Street.
