Lauded by many as the best pickup of the 2020 AFL Trade Period, Aliir Aliir has quickly made a name for himself as one of the Power’s strongest and most explosive defenders. Although used as more of a utility at Sydney, Aliir has made a home down back and is known for his trademark intercept marks and strong strides out of the defensive 50. He is also no stranger to the ruck, however may be able to spend more time down back with the arrival of Jeremy Finlayson and the strong development of untried big man Sam Hayes.

Aliir was one of the club’s top players for disposal efficiency, contested marks and rebound 50s – and unsurprisingly led the club in intercept marks. His career-best season was recognised with All-Australian selection and he finished third in the club’s best and fairest count.
