I think the pressure forward role is non negotiable, so I'm looking at who can fill it. For me, based on availability that's Cleary or Campbell, maybe Florent based on recent weeks. Fox, though less of a goal threat than any of these.Cleary has had a good couple of games for an 18 yr old, but that's it, wasn't exceptional to the point of being undroppable.
Would be an absolute mare taking a 3 gamer into finals. The Campbell theory makes more sense, albeit Adam's wont be getting dropped he's an absolute bull at the bottom of the contest, we can't afford to lose that he's one of the only ones capable of doing it.
For me it's not Adams being replaced or put out by these guys, it's Heeney returning and the cascading impact that other returning players have on Adams midfield time, that means he won't have the opportunity to impact in the way that people are talking about.
If we need the extra mid rotation and he just plays low TOG ok, but he'd have to come at the expense of someone else. Someone simply has to remain as a pressure forward.
