Marcus Allan's a mate of mine and I havent been able to watch his progress in the QAFL. Can anyone who has followed him this year tell me about his progress and what are the pros and cons of his game.
Thanks.

I havent seen him play, but he has just been elevated to the senior list so he must be a decent prospect.
To be honest, most people I know were pretty surprised we he got elevated and Baird didn't.
Apparently Marcus seemed to get better as the year went on, and finished the year off nicely, but with some injury concerns, only middling height and pace and unexceptional skills, most discussions still had him (and usually Will Hammil) delisted before any others. Elevation from the rookie list certainly raised some eyebrows.
But he's got his chance. I've got nothing against the kid. Best of luck to him.
