He had suffered a dislocated shoulder attempting to tackle Geelong midfielder Tom Atkins on centre wing.
1 ruck duties in McInerney’s absence on Saturday night. “He was huge. The great thing is that everyone’s determined to play a role and give yourself to the team,” Kai Lohmann told Channel 7. “That’s what he did tonight, I’m sure he’ll get praised during the week.” The Lions will likely recall reserve ruckman Darcy Fort, who has played just two games this year, for the decider.
