Shaun Higgins and Ed Vickers-Willis, teammates of North Melbourne Football Club, where both knocked out on the field within five seconds of each other!
Two North Melbourne players were left lying on the Etihad turf midway through the third term of the club’s match against Hawthorn. Shaun Higgins was cleaned up by Hawthorn defender Ryan Burton and required a stretcher to be taken to hospital. In a separate incident just seconds later, Ed Vickers-Willis was left dazed, after he tackled Hawthorn’s Harry Morrison, clashing heads with the Hawk in a comparatively innocuous incident.
