Geelong and Collingwood played out a thrilling NAB Challenge game at Simonds Stadium on February 12, 2014.

The Cats trailed by 13 points midway through the last quarter before storming home to win by two points.

Jordan Schroder kicked the winning goal for the home side after being set up by some magical play from Steve Johnson.

Of the young players, Josh Caddy (19 disposals) and Cameron Guthrie (19 touches, eight tackles) were impressive, while experienced campaigners Mathew Stokes (39 and 117 fantasy points) and Corey Enright (36 and 128 fantasy points) won a heap of the ball.

However, the contest was marred by the broken jaw suffered by George Burbury late in the second quarter after a sickening collision with Pies skipper Nick Maxwell.

As Ben Guthrie wrote in his match report for AFL.com.au, "Burbury, who was tipped to take over Paul Chapman's role up forward this season, was taken to hospital after slamming head-first into Maxwell's knee as he attempted to take a courageous mark deep inside forward 50."

It was initially feared that Burbury had lost some teeth in the incident, and a number of trainers searched the field at half-time looking for the teeth.

But when the young Tasmanian went in for surgery it was discovered that although his teeth had moved a great deal, they were indeed all there.
