Kangaroos stun Dockers with aggressive start in Round 2 clash

The Kangaroos' relentless pressure exposed not merely a tactical mismatch, but the fragility of momentum when met with something more urgent and purposeful. In sport, as in life, the team that knows what it wants often overwhelms the team that thought it already had it.
