Star Port Adelaide forward Mitch Georgiades suffered a brutal hit in the second term of the clash with St Kilda on Saturday, and was later ruled out of the game with concussion.
Georgiades and St Kilda ruckman Rowan Marshall had eyes only for the ball when they both collided mid-air in a marking contest.
“A massive collision. Two players are down. That was huge,” Leigh Montagna said in the commentary.

“That is as courageous as you will see from two players.”
Gerard Healy said: “Georgiades has had a bad couple of weeks in that area.”
Fortunately, Georgiades was able to get to his feet to leave the field, and was immediately taken for an HIA (Head Injury Assessment).
Port later confirmed that Georgiades would take no further part in the game.
St Kilda was off to a blistering start and had six goal lead at half-time, but Port Adelaide hit back in the third and trimmed the margin to single figures.
