There’s a Qscan Injury Update on several SUNS players ahead of Saturday’s AFLW Round 1 clash against St Kilda at People First Stadium.
Maddy Brancatisano will be unavailable for a number of weeks after having surgery following an ankle injury sustained in match simulation against the Brisbane Lions.
“After consulting with specialists, Maddy made the decision to have an operation to repair a syndesmosis injury suffered in the match against the Brisbane Lions. As a result, she’ll be unavailable for selection in the early rounds of the season,” GC SUNS AFLW physiotherapist Jasmine Herlihy said.
Meara Girvan will also be sidelined for the opening rounds of the season following a shoulder injury in the same game.
“Meara suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Lions. She’s now completing her rehab program and will miss the first few matches of our season,” Herlihy added.
Vivien Saad is continuing to progress in her rehabilitation from a hamstring injury picked up during pre-season and is targeting to be available for selection in Round 2.
Small forward Ashanti Bush will also be sidelined indefinitely as she recovers from concussion.
Flanders’ 29 disposals against Richmond was enough for the 23-year-old to overtake AFL legend Gary Ablett Jnr and post 680 disposals for the year at an average of 30.9 per game.
Zambrero will be the club’s exclusive quick service restaurant partner and will feature on the top-back of the club’s 2025 playing and training guernseys.
