Bulldogs victory marred by injury to wingman, defender.
The Western Bulldogs’ impressive 48-point win over Gold Coast was marred by an injury to two key players.
Wingman Ed Richards suffered a concussion during Sunday’s clash whilst contesting the ball against Suns veteran David Swallow.
Richards was helped from the field after this heavy collision with Swallow
The 24-year-old will enter the mandatory concussion protocols, sitting out at least 12 days, meaning he’ll miss the clash with West Coast.
Ed Richards (concussion) will take no further part in the game.
Richards will join Nick Coffield on the sidelines, with the defender being subbed from the game due to a shoulder injury.
The former Saint popped out his right shoulder and was replaced in the first quarter by Oskar Baker.
Coffield has had a wretched run of injuries so far in his career, limiting him to 54 games since he debuted in 2018.
The former Pick 8 has been hindered by knee, hamstring and calf injuries, adding the shoulder to a frustrating list.
