AFL Media's Michael Whiting previews the likely ins and outs for Round 19 against Geelong:
A number of more senior players keep banging the door down in the NEAFL, led by Ryan Bastinac, Tom Bell and Rohan Bewick. Hard to see them squeezing into the seniors, though.
It seems almost sacrilege to say it, so good has Josh Walker's form been, but with Harris Andrews' a possible return, spots will be limited in Lions' defence. Cedric Cox and Jake Barrett were quiet against the Crows.
Vice-captain Andrews will be put through his paces on Thursday and could make a return after four matches out with
A lot of 'ifs' this week, with question marks over Andrews and Hodge. Walker must retain his spot, so Andrews in for Cox seems likely.
Tom Cutler will be out for two rounds following a match ban for rough conduct. No harm
Mitch Cleary from AFL Media also takes a look at Geelong's lineup for Saturday's match:
Charlie Constable continues to put his hand up for an AFL debut, collecting 28 disposals in the VFL. Jackson Thurlow looks to be the next defender in line, taken off at half-time of the VFL as emergency cover for the AFL side. Zac Smith's 51 hit-outs will provide some discussion for two rucks,
Jamaine Jones and Quinton Narkle were quiet. Lachie Henderson will be better for the run after nine touches in his first game back.
Harry Taylor's foot soreness continues to hamper him and will need a big session on Thursday to be considered, while George Horlin-Smith's shoulder will rule him out of contention for a recall.
Unless the small forward rotations continue, could be the first unchanged line-up this season.
