There really is several ways we can go if Ryan is out long-term.
Josh Kennedy could be back this week, Jake Waterman can't be dropped after that great performance on the weekend. Ah Chee is only a week or two away as well so he should come into the side.
Rioli will definitely keep his place in the side, and probably moves a little closer to goal... But I think he's going to be a little too inconsistent too be a worthy SC pick.

Liam Ryan had scans today, looking at an “extended period off football” coach Adam Simpson says. Heard a crack in his ankle when he soccered the go-ahead goal against Geelong. Disappointing.

Lobb & Greene Injury Update
GIANTS ruckman Rory Lobb has been cleared of any serious damage to his knee but faces a fitness test to take on Fremantle at UNSW Canberra Oval on Saturday.
Lobb landed awkwardly in a marking contest during the second quarter of last weekend’s loss to the Swans and had to be helped from the field.
Despite initial fears of a serious knee injury, he returned just before half-time and played out the game at full-forward.
“He came off, we assessed him, we look for the integrity of the ligaments - the ACL and all those things - they tested rock solid, so we were really happy with that,” said GIANTS Head of Athletic Performance David Joyce.
“We made the assessment, and Rory made the assessment himself, that he was safe and functional to go back out there.
“We scanned him afterwards and he assessed really well. He’s got some bone bruising in the lateral (outside) aspect of his knee and we just need to make sure that that settles down before we re-load him.
“He’s had a pretty quiet start to the week and we’ll just see how he goes for the rest of the week.”
Star forward Toby Greene looks set to return from hamstring soreness against the Dockers.
The 2016 Virgin Australia All Australian and Kevin Sheedy Medallist kicked four goals in the season opener before missing the past two matches.
“He was obviously really close on the weekend and we took a really cautious decision with Toby, we know how important he is to us,” Joyce said.
He’s had a really good last week, so I expect him to roll into training tomorrow, get through that and roll through Captains Run and be available for the game if he does all that.”
