Hasnt been good since 2001

The double grabs & constant slipping over is doing my head in.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I have never seen a player triple grab so many chest marks. It must be mental

Still thought Aliir was the best of our tall defenders last night.

Still thought Aliir was the best of our tall defenders last night.

Agreed. Thought he played reasonably well given the opponents and the circumstances.

 

[Willsy10]

our defence was so comically bad, that this guy was probably the best of the lot despite his game still being littered with mistakes.

I don't know, I think Esava cops an unfair whack and is actually our best defender but to me Aliir costs us goals in the form he is in.

Watch Esava carefully - he does pretty well in one on one contests, so no issues there. My problem with him is that too often he chooses to leave his man and go and impact another contest, but doesn't impact the contest at all (often doesn't even make the contest) - he then leaves his man free goal side and suddenly there are free players everywhere as the rest of the defence are trying to cover his man.

I said this in another thread, he's shown a lot of promise, and he's got all the physical attributes, but his defending is often braindead.

I know he's new to defending, so absolutely not writing him off. I just hope he learns and develops quickly.

I thought Aliir and Rat were pretty decent against Carlton.

I think I'm by myself on this one though.

Pretty good stuff from Aliir there.

Two things that stood out. Apart from his first game played, he doesn't have a highlight playing for Port Adelaide and there seems to be an issue with leadership within the playing group if Selwood asked Aliir to step up.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

How is it Selwood comes in and in 5 minutes nails things the 12 year coach has never managed?

Because he's a successful leader and the other bloke isn't, hope we keep the lines open with Joel once the other bloke is gone he can only be a positive influence.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Sorry for going off topic. So congratulations Aliir, you have been an inspiration on and off field since getting to Port.

Love Aliir. I think he's been good the past month or so, too.

 

[jackag24]

Gun player. Lucky to have him at the club

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Out of all the non-football stuff down at the club, I don't mind Aliir's work in his respective areas.

Aliir's brother Akech has joined Melbourne United NBL as a development player.

I thought I'd give Aliir a bump.

Fantastic game on the weekend and hit every pack hard and intercepted with grace and power.

I think he really works well with Bergman.

And Zerk is no slouch either.

With Lachie Jones and Logan Evans also good in the air for their size but needing to hone their marking, the backline is looking very good for intercepting.
