Stunning upset: Swans overpower Cats to book preliminary final spot after head injury halts knockout game
Geelong and Sydney’s fiery semi-final clash was paused after Cats ruck Piper Dunlop suffered a horror head knock in the third quarter.
Dunlop collided with Swans defender Tanya Kennedy, suffering an accidental knock to her temple. Sydney’s Alexia Hamilton caught Dunlop and eased her to the ground as she appeared to be falling.
Play was temporarily suspended as medical staff rushed onto the field.
The 23-year-old Dunlop, who appeared to be conscious, received a standing ovation and cheers from the crowd as she was stretchered off on a medical cart.
The visiting Swans lead with a quarter to play after a masterclass performance from superstar Chloe Molloy, who has booted three goals so far.
