The ruck is a very injury prone position. I wouldnt risk allir there unless they see him as a long term ruckman.
I'd be selecting amartey, then knoll, then sinkers.

I’d say bell will stay in given his 9 contested possessions last week. The swans will likely want to roll a wingman back for a spare defender. That would be Dawson. That means ultimately one less forward. I would say the player to drop out would be wicks. If this happens the swans will be simply trying to minimise the damage rather than win. Could backfire if the forward pressure drops off.

Amartey (injured) L.Taylor (injured) Wicks (omitted)
Surprising move given Wicks’s excellent pressure. This stat is in the Footy Live app preview for this match.
Since debuting in Round 10, Sam Wicks ranks second at the club for tackle attempts and effective tackles.
I’d dare say that is a stat that would be dominated by inside mids, so for Wicks to be ranked second while playing as a forward is an impressive feat
Everyone seems to be on the Gould Bandwagon but there must be some reason why he hasn’t been given his debut. It’s been a difficult year to assess players form with limited competitive activity so I assume training track form carries more weight than usual.
Given that I can only assume he hasn’t ticked the required boxes to gain his debut.Hopefully he now knows what is required and has a full offseason to work with and will be knocking down the door for selection during the early rounds of 2021
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
Although he was in contention for that Cat B spot in 2018, there was plenty of competition and not the RWO favourite to get the call. But he had an excellent NEAFL season last year and has been very solid for a 20 yo at AFL level. He's very composed, a solid kick and does some things very well that many top ranked players never get right. You've highlighted his excellent pressure and tackling. He has a rare combination of skills that you don't often see. I'm a fan now and think he has a bright future.
