While it is disappointing to miss out on Tim Kelly, Oscar Allen at 21 is a bargain.

Hopefully he'll be developed as a midfielder at the next level.

Welcome Oscar

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Obvious quality, so happy to have him on the list. His development will be interesting with Darling/Waterman on the list.

Welcome.

Basically a Tom Lamb 2.0, Plays as a key forward with a capability of playing as a midfielder. I hope we stick to developing him in the midfield or he won't get a game for us.

Lamb was never a key forward in his U18 year though!! And Lamb also played predominately through the middle and Lamb is a fair bit taller

 

[amazingjoshy]

Pretty happy with this pick, confident he'll become a very good AFL player

 

[FKASC]

Allen is apparently a very good chest mark under pressure

 

[Chris_6678]

Looke as tall as Brander.

Definitely doesn't own a small moves company...

I always liked Allen as a prospect and thought he was underrated due to being a tweener. I wasn't that into him for us as he didn't fill our needs (I don't see him as a mid) but he was way too good to pass up at 21. Very glad we took him he is an A grade talent.

 

[BeornJ]

Excited to have you aboard Oscar!

Best of luck

Welcome Oscar pick 21 was a steal ..

All about the wingspan

Very different player. He is also way better than Lamb.

Hoping he has some mongrel in him and take Darlings spot.

No chance, Darling is the king

 

[Sammy J]

Dat wingspan.

If he can develop into a midfielder who can also impact pushing forward, that’d be just swell.

Fair bit to work with here, nice size, athletic and seems to have great leadership qualities, can see why WC picked him...he is their sort.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Darling Allen to the midfield

 

[Shmiddy15]

I didn't realise that Allen came top 10 in the agility test. That's pretty impressive for a bigger bloke, and is probably the best indication i've seen that maybe he might be able to make it in the midfield.

I wont be to fussed if he doesn't. Half forward/Wing man is sexy

Was meaning to ask you how we performed on the aesthetic scale in this draft. Any good sliders/ bolters?

 

[Cainozz]

People are saying he is a little bit of a Nick Riewoldt mould, any truth in this? As in Nick Riewoldt moved to the wing era (2014-) who occasionally pushes forward.

Would be bloody handy.
