With Alex Keath out, a combination of Ryan Gardner and Zaine Cordy will need to go to Charlie Dixon, with some back-up from Easton Wood in the air. I’d be on notice for Port to send a defensive forward to Caleb Daniel. If his impact is curtailed, he will need to be used elsewhere as a small forward or midfielder. If Aliir Aliir does not go to Aaron Naughton or Tim English, I’d challenge Mitch Hannan to play a role as a defensive forward on him. For the Dogs to score, Aliir can’t control the air and Hannan is a super competitor who can launch himself and bring the ball to ground, allowing others to get the reward.
