Sean Darcy has suffered yet another injury setback, with the Fremantle ruckman going down with a knee issue against Collingwood.
Darcy spent a large chunk of the third quarter off the ground as medical staff worked what appeared to be his right calf and returned to the field for a short time before heading back to the bench shaking his head.
Darcy appeared frustrated and deflated as he sat on the pine and was substituted out, while Dockers sub Neil Erasmus replaced him.
The big man had ice wrapped around his left knee during the three-quarter time huddle, with Fremantle later confirming he had been taken out of the game due to knee soreness.
The fresh blow comes less than a month after Darcy played his first match of the season, following minor ankle surgery in the pre-season which delayed his start to 2025.
Darcy had knee surgery in early 2023 and went under the knife again at the back end of last season after managing just 12 games in 2024.
It’s the sixth time in the past four seasons Darcy has been substituted out of a match with an injury.
