Kangaroos Thrash Swans by 55 Points as Demons Claim Crucial AFLW Win over Magpies

The Sydney Swans have lost star ruck Ally Morphett to a knee injury in their humiliating 55-point defeat to North Melbourne.

But while the 10.11 (71) to 2.4 (16) victory returned the Kangaroos to the top of the ladder, the reigning premiers have injury concerns of their own, as Emma Kearney sustained a hamstring injury.

Injury Blow for Swans

In the first quarter at Arden Street Oval on Sunday, Morphett looked to make a tackle but collapsed in the lead-up.

She was left holding her right knee in agony, later emerging from the rooms wearing a brace and on crutches.

The 22-year-old has played a starring role for the Swans this season, spearheading them into top-four contention.

Kearney's Injury Worries

Kearney, an eight-time All Australian, left the field in the fourth quarter, just two months after missing the Australia-Ireland clash with a hamstring injury.

The loss of the 37-year-old defender would be massive, considering she adds a plethora of experience to the Kangaroos, who are in a tight race for the minor premiership.
