Dual All-Australian and four-time club champion Alyce Parker has been ruled out for three months with a fracture in her right foot.  

The GIANTS star came from the field with a foot complaint at half-time in the round one loss to Essendon, following a change of direction movement in a tackle late in the second period. 

She took no further part in the game after being assessed by club doctors and physios.  

Scans confirmed yesterday Parker has sustained a fracture in her right foot and after consulting with a surgeon on Monday morning, she will undergo an operation for surgical repair on Thursday.  

Parker’s injury is a significant loss to the team, with Parker a top performer throughout the pre-season and in the first half against the Bombers, notching 15 touches before the incident. 

Rehabilitation following the surgery is expected to take three months, ruling her out for the remainder of the GIANTS’ 2025 home and away campaign.  

GIANTS Executive General Manager, AFLW and Football Operations, Alison Zell, expressed her immense disappointment for Parker and reiterated the club’s support for the midfielder. 

“Alyce is a significant part of our AFLW program and is a leader both on and off the field,” Zell said. 

“We are devastated to see her sidelined long-term before the home and away season had even really begun but will be right alongside her throughout her rehabilitation process. 

“Alyce will continue to play an important role for us in our tenth season, just not where both she and the team would love her to be, out on the field with her teammates. 

“We will support her all the way across her recovery and are with her through every step of it.”
