Docker’s sad exit

-

FORMER Perth Lynx basketball­er Brianna Moyes will miss the rest of the AFLW season after scans confirmed she has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee.

Moyes was making her debut for the Fremantle Dockers when she suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Saturday’s 33-point win over Collingwoo­d.

The 27-year-old was in tears after the match as she joined the huddle to sing the club song with her teammates.

“Brianna has worked so hard to get to the point where she could make her debut, so for her to be injured in the first quarter was obviously devastatin­g to see,” Fremantle’s AFLW high performanc­e manager, Kate Starre, said.

“She will undergo surgery and following that we will work closely with her on a rehab program to get her back on her feet.”
