Re: Draft night
Bio: Allison is one of the top talls who has a stack of scope for improvement. He can get up and down the ground using his strong endurance base, which is also matched by a good acceleration when on a lead. He has been used as a midfielder on the outside at times and still has untapped potential there if a club think they can develop him further. He is very raw and his numbers in the NAB League suggest that, but there are plenty of clubs tracking the Victorian.

Re: Draft night
Fox had him at 21 and there’s a herald sun article (paywalled) about him being a top 20 Bolter

Re: Draft night
I googled him and it came up with Mary McLeod from Minter Ellison Lawyers. Hope she's hard at the ball.

Re: Draft night
Very split on this kid. Some draft had him early twenties others mid thirties. Best thing about him by all account is his work ethic, endurance and plenty of upside which is both good and bad. I.e. he could get a lot better which means he isn't that good at present.
Either way welcome aboard

Re: Draft night
I hope so!
Otherwise he might me our biggest smokie since Howard who was probably our last pick in the 20's that no one had ever hear of before.

PICK 21: RICHMOND – MATT ALLISON
Clubs: Calder Cannons/Vic Metro
Position: Key Forward
Size: 194cm/81kg
Bio: Allison is one of the top talls who has a stack of scope for improvement. He can get up and down the ground using his strong endurance base, which is also matched by a good acceleration when on a lead. He has been used as a midfielder on the outside at times and still has untapped potential there if a club think they can develop him further. He is very raw and his numbers in the NAB League suggest that, but there are plenty of clubs tracking the Victorian.
In the mix: Richmond’s pick is one of the hardest in the first round to predict given they have no pressing needs. They have been linked with a few of the taller prospects in Allison and Liam Kolar from Northern Knights. It might be a touch early for either, but given the age profile of the Tigers another young forward wouldn’t be the worst option. Don’t rule the Tigers out of trading the selection into the second round or into 2021.

Re: Draft night
The AFL draft has become an utter mess.. 2.5hrs its taken for our turn to pick at no. 21, which through a completely nonsensical system that results in a finals team getting pick 1 we end up at pick 26. It's all a joke.

Re: Draft night
Where’d pick 27 come from?
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Draft night
We have traded our 4th round next year for pick 43 with Hawthorn. I think. Seems a good deal, so why would Hawks do it?

I'd say we're targeting someone....I'm going to take a stab with Max Heath as he is the best ruckman available....kosifantutti wrote: ↑Wed 09 Dec 2020 10:07pm We have traded our 4th round next year for pick 43 with Hawthorn. I think. Seems a good deal, so why would Hawks do it?

Re: Draft night
Is it just me or is that COVID code for something like we didn't see much of him but the few bits we did see, we were able to speculate on his potential.MC Gusto wrote: ↑Wed 09 Dec 2020 9:27pm Bio: Allison is one of the top talls who has a stack of scope for improvement.
