Biggest Hit In AFL?

One not mentioned so far Spalding on McKenna

beautiful clean hit.

But for sheer impact, the 'biggest' hit would have to be Voss on Richardson. Both players stopped dead but Richardson copped all the momentum. Anyone know how long he was out for/how he recovered?

Certainly in recent times, Milburn's hit was the biggest I have ever seen.

One for the old-timers - Lethal Leigh earning the nickname as he put Barry Cable into next week in a state game.

A couple from my memory, is Ray Card vs Keith Grieg in 1978 at K.P, was a bone cruncher if ever there was one, and early in 1979 Stan Magro of Collingwood absolutely pole-axed Alex Jesaulenko. Back in the late 80's i think Dipierdomenico shirt-fronted Roger Ellingworth of Melbourne, and knocked him into next year i think.

Mal Brown destroying Carlton while playing for WA a few decades ago is great to watch

Someone already did mention that hit on McKenna BTW

Voss's hit on Richardson is a Beauty, did he get anything for that?

Solomon on ling wasn't as good because it was just him elbowing him in the face as he jumped past

Meh I'm tired

Agree on Solomon vs Ling. A proper footy hit is two bodies colliding, not a stray elbow to the face.

We must have similar memory spans....

Lockett on Caven was a sickening blow, as was Jim Edmond being ironing out a Hawk i think back in the Bear's debut year...the scoreboard attendant rather mischievously flashing up 'Cop That' for his troubles. Edmond got 6 weeks i think for that one.

Russell Morris. Big elbow to the face.

Dipper had a big one on Alan Stoneham in 83, and then copped about a half dozen rippers himself at Windy Hill in the square up game later that year. Cameron Clayton sat him on his arse on at least two separate occasions that day, and I'm pretty sure Merv Neagle and Ron Andrews gave him one as well.

Speaking of Merv, I reckon he copped the nastiest hit I've seen in football, when he face planted into the top of the fence at Arden Street one afternoon. The aftermath was not a pretty sight.
