POW! Right in the kisser! Aussie rules player gets knocked out following in-game punch

Down with this sort of thing...

Down with this sort of thing…

Whenever JOE steps out onto the pitch we like to consider ourselves as a tough but fair opponent. Just like Gary Lineker, we also went through our entire career without ever picking up a single yellow card… seriously, we did.

On that note, we would never do something like this. Take a look at this powerful punch from Richmond’s Tyrone Vickery on West Coast Eagles veteran Dean Cox during the throw-in.

The timing of this punch is strangely ironic because it came less than a week after Cox – a six-time All-Australia player – announced that he’d retire at the end of the season due to injuries.

Happy retirement mate.

Cox was knocked  unconscious from this punch and, all of a sudden, his decision to retire looks like a smart one.

Take a look at it again. Ouch.
