Also how come the ins/outs are being leaked early the last few weeks?

Had no meaningful possessions, but I'm sure the powers that be will argue him taking 3 up into a contest allows Rozee to rove and kick two goals, allows Gray room to move and isolate 1-on-1 as the loose defender goes to the aerial contest with Dixon and with 19 goals on the weekend, you would suggest the forward line was/is more dangerous with him in it.
If he does, does Lycett play?
I don't see Lycett, Ladhams, Ryder, Dixon and Marshall all in the side midfield and forward of the ball. Looks like Lycett is all of a sudden our third ruckman! Granted the conditions under the roof suited the more agile Ladhams and Ryder, plus Essendon don't really have much by way of ruck stocks.
If so who misses out?
If Lycett plays I think the only one who can miss out is Ladhams. Lycett can't play forward for more than a rest, Ryder seems as though he prefers the middle of the ground and the freedom to roam, Ladhams could potentially play as a key forward but I think they'll prefer Dixon's frame as mentioned above taking the hits and getting the ball to ground.
My preference would be Dixon and Marshall forward, Ryder the third and Lycett doing the bulk of the ruck work. Hard for him to get back in the side given Ladhams form on the weekend and Lycett didn't have a game to impress selectors.
More so at the end of the year who goes? Lycett has a 5 year deal so he's going nowhere, Howard has 3 years to go, Marshall has one to go and so does Dixon. Ryder, Ladhams and Frampton are all out of contract. Right now I'd be letting Ryder go and making Lycett, Dixon, Ladhams and Frampton fight for 3 spots in the AFL side.

We are keen on Frampton and I’d imagine with our dire ruck stocks we would be looking at a young ruckman for the right price. Ladhams would be a great fit but Port should do everything to keep him. Wonder if Hayes would be looked at or we look at a veteran ala Jacobs

I rate Hayes better than Ladhams. I think the kid can really play. Since his return from his ACL, he has predominately played forward for the Maggies. I see Marshall being groomed into a Westhoff to roam around the ground (unsure if he has the tank for that though), Frampton becoming our next key forward alongside Dixon with Ladhams & Hayes fighting it out for that 2nd Ruck/Forward spot behind Lycett
