Geelong Cats ruck Piper Dunlop has been stretchered from the field on a motorised cart in concerning scenes during her side’s AFLW semifinal clash with the Sydney Swans.
Dunlop went down after a head clash with Sydney’s Tanya Kennedy during the third quarter at Kardinia Park.
She initially returned to her feet before becoming unsteady and falling on the edge of the centre circle, caught by Sydney’s Lexi Hamilton before trainers sprinted onto the ground to attend to her.
The game was stopped for nine minutes as medical staff gathered on the field, Dunlop eventually leaving the field on the motorised cart.
The Swans went on to win by 3 points, withstanding a late Cats surge to qualify for their first-ever preliminary final.
Chloe Molloy kicked three goals for Sydney in the 8.2 (50) to 7.5 (47) victory.
