Ruby Schleicher hurt in match, contract talks become complicated for Collingwood
Summary

Collingwood's captain Ruby Schleicher suffered a shoulder injury during the match against St Kilda on Saturday, potentially signaling the end of her time with the club. The injury occurred in the second quarter after a tackle by Maya Louvel-Finn. Schleicher, who is out of contract at season's end and has hesitated to sign a two-year deal offered by Collingwood, now faces uncertainty as AFLW experts speculate if this could be her last game for the Magpies.
