There was a nasty friendly fire collision during Western Bulldogs’ preseason clash against Collingwood at the weekend.

The AFL preason fixture had to be called to a halt for a few minutes as Bulldogs’ duo Jarrad Grant and Jason Johannisen received attention after a 50/50 challenge. Both players were contesting for the ball when Grant’s rear-end went crashing into his team-mate’s head. Grant then landed like a lead balloon on the ground.

Johannisen came off the worst from the accidental clash and was stretchered off the pitch after receiving medical treatment. Luckily, he was cleared of any serious injuries after the match.
