Hawthorn star Jarman Impey limped off the field as his side took on Geelong after a sickening knee injury left him screaming out in pain.
The incident happened when the 24-year-old went up for a mark in the second quarter.
Impey was bumped lightly in the back, forcing him land awkwardly, with his right knee buckling underneath him as he landed.
He immediately dropped the Sherrin and shouted out as the game came to a complete stop.
The severity of the injury was apparent from the outset, and Impey was eventually helped from the pitch.
The AFL's official twitter account published a replay of the gruesome incident.
