Dunlop collided with Swans defender Tanya Kennedy, suffering an accidental knock to her temple. Sydney’s Alexia Hamilton caught Dunlop and eased her to the ground as she appeared to be falling.
Play was temporarily suspended as medical staff rushed onto the field.
The 23-year-old Dunlop, who appeared to be conscious, received a standing ovation and cheers from the crowd as she was stretchered off on a medical cart.
