Brisbane AFL star Dayne Zorko says reports of a relationship breakdown between players and under-fire coach Justin Leppitsch are untrue.

News Corp Australia reported on Thursday that Leppitsch’s position had come under renewed pressure because of “lack of unity” at the Lions, but Zorko said it was “just rumours”.

“We can totally dismiss that. We’ve got a lot of trust and a lot of belief in Leppa and he’s doing a really great job at the moment,” Zorko told reporters.
