A serious ankle injury to captain Stephen Coniglio in a loss to Melbourne has added to the GWS Giants miserable start to the 2021 season.
Coniglio was one of four Giants stars to end the game chained to the bench through injury as Melbourne captailised to run away 15. 12. (102) to 11. 2. (68) winners in Canberra.
The Giants skipper ended his night with his right leg in a moon boot after his foot got caught under the weight of his body in a tackle from Tom Sparrow in the second quarter.
Coniglio attempted to walk the injury off but was unable to put any weight on his foot as he was eventually helped off Manuka Oval by the Giants medical staff.
