Collingwood AFLW Captain Brianna Davey will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2024 NAB AFLW season as she recovers from an injury to her left tibia. 

Scans have confirmed Davey developed bone stress to her tibia which became apparent during the last week.  

Last weekend, the 29-year-old celebrated 50 AFLW games and this year has averaged 15 disposals and seven tackles following a return from an ankle injury in Week Two. 

“This is tough news for Bri, who worked immensely hard during the pre-season to come back into the side and make an impact across five games,” Collingwood General Manager of Women’s Football Jess Burger said. 

“Bri is clearly disappointed to not see the season through, but her health and welfare is the priority.

“Bri is such a strong leader for our program on and off the field, and she will continue to support the playing group albeit from the sidelines. 

“She is determined more than ever with her recovery, and our whole program will support her through this period to be ready for 2025.”
