As Wale was waiting for the ball following a short kick-in, McAdam shoved his shoulder and ran the youngster straight, putting his head back in an ugly scene.

Wehr stayed on the turf as trainers ran to the ground and his teammates came to protest the authorities.

A Giants player was helped off the ground to take the HIA test. This is his second GWS player in the third quarter after Latchie Whitfield was amassed early in the semester.

Whitfield was ejected from the game just before the end of the third quarter after a failed HIA.

“It’s going to be a big hit. It’s a big hit. I was 50 meters away and I could hear it tapping,” Cameron Mooney told Fox Footy.

David King adds: That’s what we’re trying to erase from the game.

“He (McAdam) would be in a world of scars from the match review panel.”

Wehr passed the HIA and returned to the field to start the 4th quarter.

But it was the hit from McAdam that left those watching in disbelief, labeling it by far the worst shot of any that occurred earlier in the round.

Sunday’s contest turned into a carnage for the Giants, who lost Harry Perryman to a hamstring injury early in the game.

All went south in the third quarter as star defender Nick Haynes suffered a groin injury, and Whitfield was ruled out of the contest midway through the quarter.

After an inadvertent head knock from Crows ruckman Riley O’Brien, star midfielder Josh Kelly was also ruled out of the game, making things worse to start the fourth quarter.

Despite having only one player on the bench and players battling cramps all over the ground, the Giants went on to record a 16-point victory.

The Crows popped off the block early on, but were overwhelmed by the Giants outfit who refused to die.
