Crow gets longest AFLW suspension for clash that left Giant with neck injury

Adelaide Crows footballer Ebony Marinoff has been handed the longest suspension in AFLW history, after a collision left Greater Western Sydney recruit Brid Stack with a fractured vertebra.

The AFL tribunal suspended Marinoff for three matches on Tuesday night — a ban that will see the two-time premiership player miss a third of the season.

Marinoff pleaded not guilty but the tribunal upheld the charge of engaging in forceful front-on contact.
