Now that is a classy response unlike others we see often in this state.
Great post. I think we should be really proud of the way our club does most things. Also a great effort all round as you mention.This is a bloody great example of how to do it by all parties concerned, including Port.
We've worked well to satisfy Sydney, without blowing the bank, we've worked with the player to sell the vision, Sydney has traded in good faith, given the player their blessings and the player has shown genuine care and respect for his old club and embraced the culture of his new club with gusto.

Let's get Ali Carlisle to meet with them and explore ways to get more Sudanese and Pacific Islanders getting interested in Aussie Rules, developing their skillsets, and playing for Port.With Martin Frederick signing on, we will have two South Sudanese lads in the squad. Will be really great for both of them. I wonder if they used that as a bit of a pull too for Aliir? They would have known last week that Martin would be given another contract. Aliir doesnt mention it, but it would surely be a pull for an African in a predominantly all-white team having a countryman to play/train alongside, & associate with.

In one of his interviews Aliir mentioned that Bobby had been chatting to him about the multicultural programs for a while before the draft, so he's way ahead of usLet's get Ali Carlisle to meet with them and explore ways to get more Sudanese and Pacific Islanders getting interested in Aussie Rules, developing their skillsets, and playing for Port.
They are both AFL multicultural ambassadors, so they have been doing stuff together on that front for a few years.In one of his interviews Aliir mentioned that Bobby had been chatting to him about the multicultural programs for a while before the draft, so he's way ahead of us
You are going to get plenty of one on one's in a game. They are unavoidable.With Aliir and possibly Jones and Bergman in the side, I wouldn't worry about individual matchups. If we're at a stage where Cameron or Hawkins are one on one in defence, something has broken down.
Did someone say somewhere that Aliir had the highest one-on-one win % in the league in 2018?You are going to get plenty of one on one's in a game. They are unavoidable.
Hawkins got 6 on Mckenzie in the QF and lucky for us he kicked 0.5. Yes we pushed him wide but those 2 shots at the southern end in the 2nd quarter where very kickable but he panicked and was hopeless with his shots on goal.
6-6-6 means you have to go one on one at centre bounces in defence, a lucky bounce of the ball for the oppo after bounce down means a clearance win for them and very quickly a KPF and KPD are one on one fighting for the ball.

Excellent.List Mgmt. - 2020 Trade Targets
Ladhams for Aliir is a fair trade I agree, but may I suggest young Mitch Georgiades as an alternative, seeing as you missed out on Daniher. Also Aliir + 3rd rounder for Butters or Houston might be tempting for us. Ollie Wines straight swap? God I hope this is satire, or ummmm yeah 🤣www.bigfooty.com
At the end of the 2018 season, Aliir Aliirhad the highest percentage won of one on one contests in the league and was also ranked equal-first for average intercept marks.PLAYERCARDSTART21Aliir Aliir

The game has ebbs and flows of momentum. That's why I asked the question, do we put Aliir on Cameron or Hawkins? For when you start with 6-6-6 or we are having an ebb momentum period?If we’re getting smashed at centre clearances it’s again a failure of something being wrong in a different area of the ground.
I’m not saying one on ones won’t happen, I’m saying if they happen enough that we are losing games because of them something else has gone wrong. The whole mantra is defend to attack.
Hawkins is the player who can really get hold of us. We pushed him wide at Adelaide Oval and his confidence evaporated as he missed his early shots. He even missed relatively simple shots for him in the end.
If he started getting on top put Aliir there. But if Aliir is going to be an offensive weapon you wouldn't want him starting on Hawkins who is their deep target and would reduce his offensive value.
It does come down to strangling upfield supply though. You would want them to have shallow F50 entries that Aliir could pick off and create from.
Hawkins is unique at the moment. He poses a threat to every club. You put your best man on him, and try to nullify his influence. The key is starving him of forward entries, not recruiting a Gorilla to match him.Hawkins is the player who can really get hold of us.
