Essendon player suffers ankle injury
- Essendon forward Harrison Jones dislocated his left ankle during Thursday night's win over North Melbourne and was stretchered off Marvel Stadium.
- Jones landed awkwardly late in the third quarter, causing his ankle to point the wrong way and prompting a delay managed by medical teams and umpires.
- Alongside Jones, Essendon suffered additional injuries: defender Jordan Ridley with a new hamstring strain and Jade Gresham with adductor tightness.
- Jones was taken to hospital for further assessments that showed no major bone breaks, though coach Brad Scott described the injury as "carnage" and Jones remained in significant pain.
- Essendon aims to maintain momentum despite injury setbacks, with Scott praising players and staff for composure as the team prepares to face Sydney next Saturday.
