I agree. He did nothing wrong in the games he played. He played his part well. So sure, he is depth. But Tredders saying he "signed on despite the pressure" is not really fair or correct IMO. His signing on ADDS to the pressure that all the defenders are under to get, and maintain a spot.Not convinced on this at all...
We generally use 7 defenders for game day:
1. TJ
2. McKenzie
3. Cluz
4. DBJ
5. Aliir
6. Hammer
7. Houston/Burton (as it's likely at least one of these guys plays mid/wing).
So the depth after that has: Jones, Bergman (who is a fair unknown as a defender), Garner, Lienert, Bonner
He will probably get his shot with 2 injuries or form concerns. All he then has to do is grab his opportunity like McKenzie did this year.
Worst case scenario he's probably one of the best break glass depth defenders in the AFL.

If lienert played instead of Burton we could very well be premiers.
Lachie and Liernert aren't a like for like
Aliir could be a westhoff replacement on the wing

Essentially true, yes. But I also see the wording as implying that he is now the one under pressure from the arriving 2 players, which is only one side of the equation. The new boys will be under as much pressure as him, in fact probably more so, with the expectation to perform as new players..I don't reckon anything you said disagreed with Tredders.
I think what Tredders was saying was that he could have gone and looked at other options to try to join a weaker team which would have gotten him a starting 22 spot, but he is instead gonna stay where it's tough because he wants to add to the pressure be a part of this Port squad. I see it as a compliment from Tredders.
Lachie plays on talls, smalls, mediums. He's like the honey badger, he doesn't give a sh*t.
Aliir has to play defence. We don't need a no position tall.
Aliir could be a McKenzie replacement and McKenzie could kick goals from the wing.
we need a bit more honey badger
I recently watched a doco about honey badgers. Put up with the red backs and possums because trust me you don’t want any of those wrecking balls near your property.I love that goddam honey badger
Need someone like him at home, to knock of some redback spiders in the garage, and do a number on pesky possums that bang on the roof at night and crap in the gutters!
Absolute Legend.
we need a bit more honey badger
wilson, hardwick, carr, james, pickett and co all had a bit of honey badger in them
He was a "Honey Badger" in his first year of AFL ... Imagine him in 5 years time! I reckon when he "grinned" into Ziebel's face, his teeth would have looked exactly like the honey badger's snarl in that video!...Butters

mongoose?Lienert
He so loveable though!! what's a cute animal with a dark side?
I think lienert is a lot better than people give him credit for. And with Aliir, our tallest defender.
