GREATER Western Sydney ruckman Shane Mumford almost knocked Mitch Duncan into next week on Sunday with one of the hardest tackles ever seen.
As the Geelong midfielder gathered the ball in midfield, the Giants big man came hard the other way and crushed Duncan in a terrific ball and all tackle.

While there may have been bigger hits in AFL history, Mumford’s tackle was textbook as he wrapped Duncan up before taking him to ground.
The hit stunned the Cats ball-winner and he had to be helped from the ground by club trainers.
One of the AFL’s all-time best tacklers, Sydney great Jude Bolton praised Mumford on Twitter.
“One of the great tackles from big Mummy” he said.
The Giants were running hot in the third quarter at StarTrack Oval with Will Hoskin-Elliott taking a stunning mark just minutes later.
As Tom Scully launched a long ball forward, Hoskin-Elliott jumped on Cats defender Lachie Henderson’s shoulders to claim an early Mark of the Year contender.

Mitch Duncan just ran into the great wall of China. What a collision after smacking into Mummy. So brave. Didn't hesitate once. Ouch
