Collingwood's Sarah D'Arcy was reported for kicking Carlton midfielder Sarah Hosking late in the third quarter of Friday night's season opener between the Blues and the Pies at Ikon Park.
On a night that saw 19,000 fans turn up to support the opening on the AFLW's second season, D'Arcy's actions was a minor sour note on an otherwise successful evening.
Following the incident that can be seen above, Hosking joined Channel 7's post-game coverage, and did admit the kick was painful.
โIt did hurt, I wonโt lie. Iโm glad Iโm not a boy,โ Hosking said.
โLook, you donโt want that sort of stuff to happen. But we will leave it up to the umpires and the match review to deal with that,โ Hosking said.
โAs long as I can get back up and keep playing, I will keep going and they will deal with that.โ
The incident is likely to be Michael Christian's first case, with the AFL's new match review officer set to look over the vision on Monday, before handing down a penalty.
Despite the incident, Hosking was able to run out the rest of the game, helping the Blues defeat Collingwood by eight points.
