Midfielder Brooke Tuszynski will miss the remainder of VFLW season after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament during a game for North Hobart on the weekend.
Tuszynski was assisted from the field after landing awkwardly after a marking contest late in the fourth quarter.
Tasmania's VFLW coach, Georgia Walker, said the club was devastated for Tuszynski and would support her throughout her rehabilitation.
“We’re absolutely devastated for her,” Walker said.
"She’s an outstanding character and our entire group will be supporting her wholeheartedly during her rehabilitation process and I know she’ll continue play to a pivotal role for us off the field for the remainder of the season.”
