ANDREW Embley is set to come under scrutiny from the match review panel after an unsavoury off-the-ball incident in last night's clash against Hawthorn.
The star Eagle appeared to drop his knee into Hawk Ben Stratton after a tackle when the ball had left the area during the second term.
Embley then appeared to shove Stratton's head into the turf.
There was a strong reaction to the incident - both in the commentary boxes at the ground and on social media.
"Andrew Embley has just had a brainfade. He's going to have something to answer," Melbourne great Garry Lyon said on Triple M.
Collingwood president and Fox Footy commentator Eddie McGuire said it was 'like Wrestlemania.'
Speaking on Fox Footy, Herald Sun football writer Jon Ralph said if it is graded as low and intentional, Embley would receive 225 points - which would result in a one week suspension with guilty plea.
