I just watched the last two minutes again and both Pitto and the King were heavily involved.
Acres exit kick went down the line and the King got to the marking contests and spoiled the ball out of bounds.
Pitto and Gawn contested the throw in and neither got the hitout. Acres cleared the ball back into the corridor where Hibberd and the King contested the mark. The ball went to ground for a ball up.
Pitto and Gawn contested the ball up, Pitto got the hitout but the ball went to Langdon. He was tackled and another ball up ensued.
Pitto and Gawn contested the ball up, Pitto got the hitout but the ball bobbled around before it was kicked to the wing.
Pitto collected a loose ball after Charlie contested the mark. He handpassed to Charlie and the ball was knocked out of bounds by Acres.
Pitto ran hard to get to the next marking contest inside 50 and attempted a spoil from the front of the pack (Kemp got the spoil).
Melbourne got another inside 50 and the King spoiled the contest (as per the photograph above).
Both players were instrumental in denying Melbourne scoring opportunities. The King's athleticism enabled him to get to marking contests and effect spoils or stop Melbourne marking. Pitto neutralised Gawn in ruck contests where a decisive hitout and clearance could have changed the result.
