Australian rules During a practice match in the 2021 pre-season, Stack collided with Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff, which caused a fractured vertebra for Stack. Marinoff was initially given a three-match suspension, the longest suspension in the competition's history to that point. Commentators such as Kane Cornes and his father, inaugural Crows AFL coach Graham Cornes, suggested that the incident was unavoidable and the club should appeal the decision. Adelaide eventually announced that it would appeal the decision, with the club calling it "grossly disproportionate" and coach Matthew Clarke calling the incident an "unavoidable footy collision". The suspension was eventually overturned by the appeals board after a hearing that lasted more than three hours, allowing Marinoff to play in the opening round of the season. In December 2022, Stack announced her retirement from football.
