AFL: Richmond star Jacob Hopper appeared distraught after appearing to pick up an injury... but he stayed out on the ground

Dual premiership Kangaroo David King has questioned whether Melbourne’s new aggressive ball movement suits its playing list , but insists the Dees still have ample time to finetune it.

The Demons, in particular, struggled to hit targets during the first half, due to both poor skill execution and overly aggressive decision-making. “It’s a little bit clunky at the moment, but it’s a work in progress. I like where they’re going, it’s just how far down the track until they get there,” he said.Dual All-Australian Leigh Montagna said it was hard seeing Melbourne dramatically pivoting away from its new gamestyle now.

“It’s probably what you saw in the first half. We maybe got some feedback about trying to use the corridor – and we tried to use the corridor every single time and Richmond’s pressure just didn’t allow that,” Gawn told Fox Footy post-match.
