Hornet will play, Aliir probably 80% play. Jones likely to come in too. Papley been out for a bit only player they are or might be bringing in that's good is Gulden. Bergs will be on Heeney. Paps won't do Jack crap. Jezza probably be in to rotate ruck but don't know if they'll go with sweet or continue with Visintini. Swans will be ready to get up though but just off their bye so time will tell if they are good to go. If they bring their A game, they'll flog the swans.

Would be a big surprise if he gets up given the footage of him at training.
Dont listen to the injury reports, the club lies like crazy. The eye test says if hes playing, he will be doing so in severe discomfort.

Still Tuesday. Port will give him until the last minute before pulling the plug.

Georgiardis said Hornet is fine to play, Alir 50/50 and Ollie out. I thought Jones was still 2 weeks away along with Lukoscious.
I think you’re underestimating Papley, he’s worth a few goals to that side.

who says port aren't playing finals? it's still possible. Lions were literally in same position last season only difference was their percentage much thanks to that game against Port
But if they get on a winning streak all the way through and it's possible especially if they stay close to fit plus Lukosius in, Jones back, the young ones Morase etc more games then who knows.

Bergman will do what he has done for the past month. Match up against the opposition's best MID/FWD. He has played on Greene and Petracca. This week it will be Heeney. The winner of that matchup will go a long way to determining which team wins.
I can see that and Jones for Sweet. I like the concept of 2 rucks, but one of the rucks needs to be more of a forward.
Playing an extra defender allows Bergman to rotate up the field.
He's a great matchup for Heeney.
if he was cleared of structural damage what exactly are we risking?

I suspect Wines out means 2 rucks stay. He's been rucking less as the season went on, but they've always been prepared to go back to it, and now that option is gone.
Maybe Finlayson comes in, but I doubt they bring him back after just 1 game.

This bring in a debutant for one game then drop him nonsense, is just Kenny looking for a sugar hit in the playing group
Any real club brings in someone new for a block of games to see if they are actually up to it, and then makes a call based on reasonable metrics and observations
For this reason Liddy should stay in, as should have Jackson

Guess the question is what was the two rucks strategy trying to achieve?
Neither sweet or vis are brilliant rucks at this point, each are ‘lead’ rucks, struggle with similar things. So they aren’t a great, complimentary combo. But they were relatively effective against Gawn and Melbourne. Particularly as this was their first time as a pair.
We do need an extra tall up front and do need a relief ruck. Jezza is good in this role - better than Sweet, Soldo or Vis but struggles with other aspects.
We don’t have a perfect solution. Maybe Whitlock if he’s fit enough or maybe Ramm?
- bash into the lead and dominant ruck in Gawn?
- play as a resting tall forward?
- sit a kick behind play to help affect opposition ball movement?
- all of the above?

I reckon that other new bloke will come in. I should probably learn his name...
