Carlton's Patrick Cripps left Pies star Chris Mayne shell-shocked after an absolute brutal bump late in Collingwood's 10.12 (72) to 7.6 (48) win on Sunday afternoon.
Both players were left visibly rattled from the contest in the fourth quarter at the Gabba when they collided at full speed, with Mayne coming off second best.
Mayne's face crashed directly into Cripps' shoulder, sending him flying back to the turf as play was stopped for three minutes while club medical staff tended to him.
Cameras caught an instant black-eye forming on Mayne's face as he was helped off-field.
"That's unfortunate, but that's the thing about a 6'4" midfielder like Cripps, running with heaps of steam," AFL great Luke Hodge said on commentary.
"And you just see the point of his shoulder gets him right in the beak. Total accident."
Bruce McAvaney added: "You can see already what he's going to look like tomorrow morning."

Adam Treloar, Steele Sidebottom, Jordan De Goey and Jeremy Howe were all unavailable, but it didn't seem to bother Nathan Buckley's men who marched away with a 24-point win.
The Magpies kicked five goals in the second half and kept the Blues goalless in a strong showing ahead of their firming finals bid. It was Collingwood's highest score since Round 3.
The win sees Collingwood leapfrog St Kilda into sixth spot on the AFL ladder.
