GWS veteran Stephen Coniglio has been substituted out of his side's AFL semi-final against Brisbane after hurting his cheekbone in a first-quarter marking contest.
Coniglio, backing into a dangerous position in the Giants' forward line, was accidentally clattered into by Harris Andrews late in the opening term.
The foundation Giant, who copped a heavy blow to the head as Andrews attempted to stop Aaron Cadman taking a mark, took a long time to get to his feet.
Coniglio trudged off Engine Stadium and headed straight to the rooms alongside club medicos.
GWS made the call at quarter-time to sub Coniglio, who also underwent a concussion test, out of the contest.
The Giants are yet to detail the extent of the damage to the 30-year-old's cheek.
