SHOCKING NEWS: Collingwood Vice-Captain Brittany Bonnici Sidelined for the Rest of the Season – Fans Left Speechless
In a stunning turn of events, Collingwood Football Club’s vice-captain, Brittany Bonnici, has been officially withdrawn from the team for the remainder of the season. The sudden announcement has sent shockwaves through the AFLW community, raising questions about the future of one of the league’s brightest stars.
While Collingwood has not disclosed every detail surrounding the decision, insiders suggest that Bonnici is dealing with lingering complications from her previous ACL injury. Though the 26-year-old had made a promising comeback earlier in the year, the demands of elite-level competition appear to have taken a toll on her recovery. The club’s medical team and coaching staff, opting to prioritize her long-term health, have made the tough call to shut her down for the season.
Fans have expressed both heartbreak and support across social media. “It’s devastating to lose her leadership on the field,” one fan tweeted, while others encouraged Bonnici to come back stronger next year. Known for her resilience and tenacity, Bonnici’s presence in the midfield was pivotal to Collingwood’s hopes of clinching another finals campaign. Her absence leaves a significant void, with many now questioning how the team will adapt in these critical final weeks.
Sadly, this news adds to a growing list of injury challenges for the Pies, further complicating their quest for the championship. As fans eagerly await more updates, hopes remain high that Bonnici will return to full strength next season, ready to lead her side once more.
