Scott reportedly questioned whether Neale had maybe gone down too easy after he was struck by Rohan which caught the ear of defender Harris Andrews.

Andrews reportedly responded to Scott's claims with a brutal sledge. It is reported by Barrett that Andrews ("or someone close to Andrews") said to Scott “not as soft as you pricks in the Grand Final”.

Scott spoke after the game about the incident and said there wasn't too much to the incident.

“I was walking onto the ground and Lachie Neale just said to me something like — I couldn’t understand exactly what he said — but something about Gary Rohan,” Scott said.

“And I said, ‘I’m happy to have the conversation with you if you like. I’ve seen the vision and I’m comfortable with it.’

“I suspect he didn’t hear all of that. That’s all that was said.

“I think a few of them, they weren’t paying me compliments. I didn’t say anything after that.”

According to The Herald Sun's Jon Ralph, Lions skipper Dayne Zorko has denied the quotes attributed to Andrews.

“What has come out today in regards to Harris, that's news to Harris & news to a lot of us. Nothing like that was said. You could see the passion in both teams," Zorko said.
