I would bring in Litherland for one of the small forwards, probably Wingard.

I am not sure Spangher holds his spot. I am not sure there is a match up for him.
totally agree. need some match fitness under the belt before the gf
They pushed Lewis for an answer on 360 earlier. Feeling I got from what he said is that he'll participate in training on Thursday and be given the fitness test. Subject to successfully completing that he'll be named on Thursday night. But depending on how he pulls up Friday and Saturday morning he could end up being a late withdrawal.Based on what Clarko is saying right now...need to get through another training session on Thursday etc...hasn't played a lot of footy...I don't think he'll play

Just being conservative with what they are saying publicly I reckon. They're as unsure as everyone on how he gets through at week's end.Gibbo and Smith were both a bit reserved when asked about Rioli today. I'm not convinced the club reckons he is ready.
If Cyril is fit he plays on Saturday against Port Adelaide. If he doesn't play Saturday he is not fit to play so why would you then play him in the magoos ?
Yeah but I am not sure they would risk it in a VFL GF either, for exactly the same reasons.Question of match fitness - Cyril is a brilliant player but this is a Preliminary Final. You don't muck around with players with so much on the line. It'll depend on how confident Clarko is in Sizzle's hammies...

Can play BH due to the Hawks playing the PF, but only if Hawthorn win the prelim on Saturday. I don't think he will, unless it is for match fitness for the GF the week after as Agent Smith has pointed out elsewhere. I am still not convinced they would risk it then for either BH or Cyril. BH are shooting for B2B also.I'll give my 2 cents...
Don't think Cyril will play if we are using him as a sub. My gut feeling is Clarko will only consider him in the team if he's fully fit for the whole match. If Cyril's hammy is about to TWANG I don't see Clarko risking the game or junior. Unfortunately I think he will be in for Sewell or Spanger if he's in given the match ups.
And I don't think if he's not playing for the Hawks that he will get a gig at the GF for Boxhill...
Can a player like Cyril's caliber get straight back into a VFL GF? I don't know the rules but I don't think you can given they had to fight for Big Boy who played at least 5 games before the finals....
I'll give my 2 cents...
