6/9/24.
Lauren Pearce has been forced to the sidelines with a scaphoid fracture. 

Ruck Pearce sustained the injury during the Demons’ final training session of the week, with scans later confirming the extent of the damage.

“Unfortunately, we will be without Lauren for an extended period, due to an injury she sustained in a spoiling incident on Thursday,” Mulholland said.

“Lauren will require surgery and at this stage, we expect her to be available to play again in six weeks.

“It’s really unfortunate news for Lauren, but we know she will attack her rehab with the utmost professionalism, and do whatever she can to help and support her teammates from the sidelines over the coming weeks.”

Huge loss, especially with Tayla out. Good opportunity for the younger talls to stand up

Yes. Its GEORGIA CAMPBELL’s time. 
I’m unclear if the Dees can sign an injury replacement for the ruck !!! 

Terrible luck. i wish her well in her recovery

missing harris and now Pearce for the year makes it very hard for us. It will be a great achievement if we can make top 4 

 

I thought she was an absolute key to our win last week  - really bad loss. All the best to her.

Has Brad Green been in contact yet?

just turned on the tv and thought 'why is campbell starting ruck?'

huge blow
