Liam Ryan: St Kilda forward cops brutal injury blow in first game against old side West Coast Eagles

Liam Ryan’s first clash against the club he won a premiership with didn’t all go to plan, with the high-flying forward temporarily grounded after a collision with Reuben Ginbey.

Ryan was leading up to the wing for an attempted mark on the lead during the second term of Sunday’s clash against West Coast, but ran into Ginbey, who had been looking to go back with the flight.

The Saints forward was in immediate pain after Ginbey’s knee made contact with what appeared to be his hip. He was helped from the ground, with the Eagles defender showing great care to wander over and offer a pat and well wishes for his former teammate.

Star Saint sore and sorry after a double dose of damage

Liam Ryan has been helped from the field in the second quarter of St Kilda's encounter with his previous side, the West Coast Eagles, on Sunday afternoon.

"Flyin'" landed heavily after a marking contest, with his head, wrist and back seemingly bearing the brunt of his crash landing.

Minutes later, he was left sore and sorry after collecting a stray knee to the ribs from Reuben Ginbey, who was running back with the flight.
