Jesus, this is brutal.
The name Nick Riewoldt will ring a bell with anyone who has watched the International Rules series over the years; the St. Kilda marksman has been the bane of many an Irish side at home and Down Under. Earlier today, he was knocked out after suffering a sickening clash of heads with Brodie Smith of the Adelaide Crows (see video above) that left both players reeling. Riewoldt, St. Kilda were glad to report, suffered no serious damage after undergoing a CT scan, is in a stable condition and will remain in Adelaide Hospital overnight. https://twitter.com/stkildafc/status/599467057944530944 https://twitter.com/stkildafc/status/599467208507461632 https://twitter.com/stkildafc/status/599467338795126784 Smith, meanwhile, tweeted about having a sore head after the incident but was in good spirits, as it's his second concussion of the season he will be monitored by the Crows medical staff during the week. https://twitter.com/Brodiesmith33/status/599492608012910592 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZibxUpAdfwk Clip via YouTube/AFLMost Viewed in sport
