Collingwood's Jordan Membrey is the latest AFLW player to suffer a major knee injury, with the Magpies confirming the forward will miss the rest of the season.
The 25-year-old went down in the third quarter of the ladder-leading Magpies' thumping 35-point victory over Melbourne on Sunday.
Scans on Monday revealed Membrey has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee.
"The whole program is heartbroken for Jordy," Collingwood women's sport boss Jane Woodlands-Thompson said.
"In true Jordy nature, she remains in good spirits and is determined to contribute to the campaign in another capacity."
After a relatively quiet season on the injury front throughout the league, the loss of Membrey adds to that of Geelong star Olivia Purcell who also ruptured her ACL in round five.
The Cats young gun suffered the major setback in the second quarter against Richmond on Friday night.
And while the Western Bulldogs are yet to confirm a diagnosis, the club is resigned to losing Deanna Berry for the rest of the season.
The 22-year-old was taken off the field with an injury in the final quarter against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday, taking some of the shine off the Bulldogs' impressive 25-point win.
