The cross-code athlete suffered the injury after awkwardly going down in the third quarter of AFLW’s bushfire relief match against Melbourne on Friday night at Marvel Stadium.
Scans over the weekend revealed the 30-year-old also sustained damage to her medial collateral ligament and a tear of her lateral meniscus, injuries that will put a hold on her duties as an Origin Australian Diamond.
Due to make an appearance for the Origin Diamonds in netball’s bushfire relief match yesterday at Qudos Bank Arena, Brazill was forced to watch on from home as 28 of the world’s best battled it out to raise much-needed funds for fire-affected netball communities.
Collingwood Magpies GM of Women’s Sport, Jane Woodlands-Thompson was saddened by the news that Brazill will not only miss the AFLW season, but the upcoming Suncorp Super Netball season.
“The whole club is devastated for ‘Braz’ who will sit aside for not one but two campaigns this year,” Collingwood’s GM of Women’s Sport, Jane Woodlands-Thompson, said.
“With Braz being in the prime of her career, with Australian honours across both of her codes, the news is extremely disappointing.
