Player Watch Edward Allan

[Basil brush]

Really excited about this pick.

I think with a late first, going for a player with massive potential upside is a good strategy. Can always target safer role players with late and rookie picks.

There are 2 things you can't coach. Height and speed.

However, my preference in any draft prospect is kicking. No idea about young Eds kicking

I know he can kick on both feet, that's always good

Do you know how well, even if only on his preferred foot?

The draft bolter who narrowly missed father-son eligibility

“That had everyone scrambling for the vision of his games to make an assessment.”

www.sen.com.au

“He played the one state game against South Australia and he had one moment where he’s dashed from the wing and left about three blokes fallen on the ground with his speed and dobbed it from inside 50.

“That was the moment that looked absolute class and AFL-like if you want to call it that and would have people talking about him.

What pick did we use on Marsh?

Pick in the 70's from memory.

Hine said they were over in WA chatting to the Allan's this week just in case we were lucky enough to have him slip down the order ...........obviously rates him very highly.

Had never heard of him but all I heard was 194cm, big frame, finds the ball and fast and instantly thought Cripps.

But at that height, pace and frame he sounds like a potential true utility?

What a shock Hine picks a utility.

Never heard his name being linked to us. Guess that the expectation was he would have been gone before our first pick.

 

[Markfs]

Haa… much better skills, and thinker imo. JM was always a split second behind the play, and couldn’t hit a target = constantly being picked off, or coughing it up by foot

but he was touted as an athletic freak...with his size and leg speed. As I said, his name crossed my mind. There are so few above 193 that derek bothers to draft....ben reid... jonathon marsh.....corey gault....toby thoolen.... lets stop there

 

[Gone Critical]

Rapt with this pick. Bit of X with the speed and height and limited games adds to the intrigue of him having that high ceiling. Someone to get a bit excited by. Wouldnt mind Keeler tomorrow to round out excitment potential.

What’s his DOB?

Knightmare mentioned in his Top 100 video that Allan has the most upside of any player in his view, due to the late growth(20cm) and weight(20kg) added. Said he could end up being a top 5 talent, but if you only looked at his stats you wouldn’t have him inside the top 40.

Seems very much a boom or bust pick. Hopefully it’s the former.

Late growth of 20cm? So he was 174cm when?

 

[Ginnieboy]

The Decembreth of December, Two Thousand and December.

It does make a difference, December babies get a raw deal.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Late growth of 20cm? So he was 174cm when?

20CM and 20KG in two years.
Injuries were due to the large growth spurt.
