some good names, could be a very interesting game, funny you should have suggested Dickson at fullback Darwin (i didn't think i had ever seen him at fullback) as here he is named there

as for McAlister, i think is just confrmed the "vibe" he always gave off to me that he was pretty unprofessional.
