Geelong coach Chris Scott was held back from approaching the Brisbane Lions' huddle by his own players at quarter-time of a fiery clash between the two flag contenders.
Despite his side holding a 16-point lead at the first change, Scott seemed less than pleased with a few of the Lions stars as he approached the huddle.
Scott was held back by Geelong veteran Cam Guthrie as he exchanged words with Lions star Joe Daniher as Daniher was held back by teammate Harris Andrews.
Scott's testy exchange with the Lions came after a fiery opening term which saw Geelong forward Gary Rohan seemingly strike reigning Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale with a swinging right arm.
