Dockers AFLW star turns ruck coach after injury to assist victory
Mim Strom's afternoon comes to a premature end due to a shoulder injury, but she still finds a way to make an impact on Fremantle's win over Richmond.
Fremantle's All-Australian star Mim Strom stepped in as a ruck coach to aid the team's 25-point victory over Richmond, following her shoulder injury in the first quarter. Elsewhere in the AFLW, Geelong decisively beat Essendon, and Carlton secured a narrow win against Collingwood. Injured Richmond powerhouse Conti was forced to coach from the bench as Fremantle dominated the game.
Eden Zanker led the ruck for Fremantle, while Gabby O Sullivan kicked three goals to secure the win. O Sullivan continued to perform well in Indigenous Round, with Strom missing the match due to her shoulder injury. Fremantle's coach expressed gratitude for Strom's continued support from the sidelines and emphasized her importance to the team.
Meanwhile, Richmond remains uncertain about Conti's injury severity, with their record of 2-2 preventing them from reaching finals since 2024.
