AFL 2021: Geelong Cats vs Brisbane Lions, Gary Rohan vs Lachie Neale, off-the-ball hit, video, reaction, injury

Gary Rohan could come under scrutiny after an off-the-ball incident with Lachie Neale in the opening quarter of the Geelong Cats’ clash with Brisbane Lions on Friday.

The Cats stormed to a 33-17 lead by the first break but one of the bigger talking points to come out of the opening quarter was the forearm from Rohan around Neale’s shoulder.

The incident in question was picked up later in replays, which showed Neale go down behind play after being whacked by Rohan.

Neale later held three fingers up in what some believed was a cheeky suggestion on how many weeks he believes Rohan should sit out for the shot.

Rohan would later leave the field for medical attention and did not emerge for the start of the second quarter.

He would go on to appear from the sheds and get ready to re-enter the game with just under 16 minutes remaining in the second.
