AFL<\/a> legend Matthew Lloyd<\/a> has called for the league to probe West Coast<\/a> youngster \ufeffReuben Ginbey over a pre-season incident.<\/p>\n

Lalor was attended to immediately by Richmond medical staff after the nasty collision, before walking from the field moments later.<\/p>\n

Lalor had already kicked\ufeff multiple goals and looked to be every bit as good as his draft selection would suggest prior to his early exit from the field.<\/p>\n
