How would Port use Lycett? or is it insurance for now and take over when Ryder retires?

Cost us nothing and was only ever insurance.

Wasn’t having a crack, just wondered what happened to him. Form or injury?

Ability.

Probably the same ones who are saying Frampton should have been playing all year.

Wrong. Frampton in my opinion showed exactly why he was overlooked during Ryder's absence.
Heaps of Port supporters have carried on saying how good his debut is, and good on him he had 7 disposals, took a few good contested marks and kicked a goal.
That's swell if he was selected as a forward pocket, but it's certainly not good enough as a ruckman.
Fact is, he was absolutely smashed in the ruck from Leuenberger early in the game - and even beaten at times by Jake Stringer in the 3rd term when Leuenberger was off the ground.
Ended up playing 80% game time, and would've spent a good 75% of that up forward, with Ryder in the ruck pretty much the whole time. He lacked the strength to compete, and at times I thought he lacked a bit of awareness. Port were smashed early in the hitouts to advantage and clearances, 10 scoring shots and 6 goals in the first quarter by the Bombers told the story and game was as good as over.
With Ryder injured, he would not have been a better option than Dixon, Westhoff or Howard doing the main duties - at best he probably could've played as a tall forward to release one of those into the ruck.. but there are both better forward and back options at the moment.
He will be a good sort, but he needs to bulk up a lot more.

We wouldn't be waiting for Ryder to retire, Lycett would be getting offered the lead ruck role, Ryder then playing deep forward and Dixon higher up the ground. Ryder chopping out for Lycett.
