I've only seen his highlights of Allan which isn't much to go on but his hand passing looks accurate. He seems to favour long bombs into the F50 by foot but he is a long kick. Looks very tenacious & has breakaway speed, reminds me of a Cripps type.Skills get better in the afl system, or can, however the intensity and pressure also goes up.
Can’t remember many draftees with an average kick becoming a great kick. Decision making similar.
Allan looks like an inside mid to me - ie a lot aren’t great kicks or users, due to the pressure. Fyfe, Dangerfield etc all turn it over. The fact that Allan has played mid in a successful WAFL side suggests that it’s not just size or athleticism and that he has some legitimate talent there.
Don’t think he makes it to us.
I’ve come round to Dattoli - has the fig jam and pest that you want in a small forward.
It took until 8 mins into the 4th quarter in that video for one of his disposals to hit a target. That’s pretty scary.
Drafts are scary
Bit like finals, eh!Drafts are scary
I rate him. Versatile player in defence, wing or midfield although he needs more time to develop his midfield craft.
He has the speed and endurance so thats a bonus along with a good kick and can make smart decisions with the ball.
Definitely someone I would be keeping an eye out with our later picks.
Both him and Hannaford joint winners at the B&F for GWV rebels

Hamish Davis’ Elimination finals performance for Claremont in the WAFL, 4 goals 21 disposals. Decent speed and has a tank, good results from the combine too. Good size at 190cm and a strong overhead mark, can also play midfield has a 40 disposal game in the under 18 colts. We should absolutely be looking at this kid with our second pick with the intention of playing him as a goal kicking mid. Would be interested to know if there are any glaringly obvious knocks on him though. Don’t know why he’s not discussed more tbh.
