controversial sequence just before half-time when Cam Rayner was gifted two goals from a double free kick<\/a> to keep the Lions in the game after Geelong looked like breaking away.<\/p>\n\u201cThe Geelong crowd weren\u2019t too happy with it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t watched the replay, so it would be unfair for me to make any comment on it. Obviously the umpire saw something and doubled up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat probably helped flatter the scoreboard a bit for us because Geelong was by a mile the better team tonight.\u201d <\/p>\n
Fagan had \u201cno issue\u201d with Rayner\u2019s antagonistic behaviour afterwards in embracing the role of the villain. <\/p>\n
It included Rayner giving it to the Geelong cheersquad after kicking a third goal as the star forward was mercilessly booed by Cats fans for the remainder of the night. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t mind that, it was a hostile crowd. There was a lot of Geelong supporters here tonight,\u201d Fagan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would\u2019ve been Cam\u2019s way of trying to bring a bit of energy to the team. I had no issue with that.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane coach Chris Fagan isn\u2019t sure if his side can go back-to-back without star co-captain Lachie Neale.
