Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

I thought Gardner was injured vs West Coast and Cordy came in the next week? Did I get that wrong? Basically I'm agreeing with you agreeing with me that Gardner was prefered to Cordy earlier this year! :-)
Gardner was injured in the first minute against Nth in Rd.3. Lewis Young played RD 4 & 5 against BL & GC and then Cordy came in the week after and has been in since then.
I can't see how Gardner and Cordy play in the same team as they're basically the same type of player (tall lockdown defender - with different skill sets) and Schache adds a POD with his marking ability and good ball use.

I would actually be shocked if they don't both play.
As with the vast majority of us it would seem. The question if whether it's for the best.
I would have 3 talls, and with the limitations of Wood, he counts as one liability wise.
My preference order...
- Keath
- Gardner
- Schache (if cherry ripe. Definitely would not take a risk on his body)
- Young
- Zaine (moved ahead of Young if Gardner out)
- Wood (moves ahead of Zaine if alongside Gardner)

Lycett a certain starter.
PORT Adelaide has received a timely boost with Scott Lycett deemed fit to take on the Western Bulldogs in Friday night's massive top-four clash.
Lycett was substituted out of the Power's 95-point win over Carlton with a jarred knee, but coach Ken Hinkley confirmed the ruckman had pulled up well enough to face the Bulldogs, though small forward Orazio Fantasia will miss with hamstring tightness.
Hinkley planned to stick with his two-ruckman set-up of Lycett and Peter Ladhams, with Stefan Martin in the mix to return for the Bulldogs to work alongside Tim English.
Trent McKenzie returns from hamstring tightness with Tom Clurey dropped while Steven Motlop will replace Fantasia, who Hinkley was confident would just miss a week, with the Power unwilling to risk the small forward ahead of the finals.

Only point on Wood for me is the ability to play a stopping role on smaller and more powerful players particularly deep. There is certain opponents among the top 8 teams that I think Wood would be valuable against. It’s a role we don’t have cover for and watching Cordy bring a caravan for his opponents recently hasn’t filled me with confidence.
