Ruled out Saturday
Gardiner (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's preliminary final after succumbing to a knee injury, per Fox Footy.
ANALYSIS
Gardiner was a late scratch for the Lions ahead of the Grand Final qualifier. After missing just one game all season, it is a big blow and certainly has an impact on their typically stout defensive line. Gardiner will be replaced by Jack Payne, who will play just the fifth game of his young career.
