With Aliir moving ahead of X in the KPD pecking order and Talia also ahead, can we assume that X is no longer being seen as making a senior KPD so is being tried as a KPF probably in order to make a list management decision later this year?
There is a solid core of midfielder/medium types who just keep performing every week in the ressies, Foote, BJ, Newman, O'Riordan etc. Depth should be ok in this category.

Yes, good tussle early,but did not see the third qtr dominance coming !
AA,Newman pretty slick on the DF turnover and once in FF shared beautifully between smalls Papley,Wilson,McFadden,didn't get in each others way & when talls demanded it they got it !Nice.

He certainly has the same willingness to take on the game like Leaping Leo. What is most encouraging is that, compared to last year, you can see significant improvement in his decision making, and gradually he is becoming more selective when to really take it on and when not too.
I really like Allir a lot and hope he gets a solid chance to take Ted's position in the backline in 2017 and make it his own.
