Essendon will hope AFLW captain Bonnie Toogood has avoided a serious knee injury after a sickening collision with teammate Amber Clarke in the Bombers' 43-point opening-round loss to Fremantle.

Clarke was concussed but cleared of a neck injury, while Toogood will have scans after suffering a "heavy knock" to her knee in the incident that marred Saturday's 10.4 (64) to 3.3 (21) defeat in front of 2820 fans at Windy Hill.
