Gary Rohan concedes two free kicks in quick succession for late contact, with the second earning him a report

A second match day incident was assessed for the contact between Rohan and Lion Brandon Starcevich in the first quarter. 

Zach Tuohy kicks the ball forward for Geelong towards Rohan. Starcevich moves backwards to intercept the ball and in the process of contesting the ball Rohan makes high contact to Starcevich.

It was the view of the MRO that Rohan’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
