Let’s hope he’s not like Spencer White
 
Picks like this worry me that they're a Brad Howard - getting someone mainly because we don't think they'll make it to our next pick. Hope he proves this fear wrong.
 


2020 NAB AFL Draft – Top Draft Prospects - Tall Forwards
Matt Allison

Calder Cannons, NAB League / Strathmore FC
Height: 192cm
Weight: 80 kg
29/01/02
Bio: Rangy tall forward who had some eye-catching performances as a bottom ager with the Calder Cannons in the 2019 NAB League playing 10 matches with his ability to read the ball in flight and present as a marking target a feature. Quite prominent in two trials this year averaging 13.5 disposals and 7 marks giving a glimpse of his development and drawing comparison to Hawthorn’s Jack Gunston. His father Brian Allison was an outstanding player in the VFA for Coburg playing 174 games, being selected in its Team of the Century and was a two-time Premiership Player.

He must have some serious pace on him being the son of Andrew McLeod & Brett Allison.

Not to mention his smarts around goal from his uncle Peter Bosustow.
 
What I like about this pick is this. Often guys come to clubs already in some position. Afl clubs would always prefer to develop young guys over say under 18 teams/vFL etc obviously and quite rightly better rescources.
Matty being so raw gives us the opportunity to mould him exactly how we want. Almost like a ‘red shirt’ in America. Weather it’s back forward wing or anywhere else.
