Player Watch Ed Allan

[OniAu]

Good on Ed. I have a soft spot for him. Ive been critical of him.

He has some traits that are really hard to come by

that size and speed for a mid is massive.

Am i just Americanised. i feel like wingspan is an under talked about area for players in the AFL. Ed with those gangly arms and speed is very deceptive in his chase for the opposition. Got Byron Kickett

Player not found

a few times yesterday (purposely misnamed him)

 

[Harry O]

How long would you re-sign for? 1 or 2 year extension?

Happy to offer 3 or 4

 

[60 Yards Out]

100% loves himself and is a dog of a player. Will happily shirt front a player with their head over the ball....or even trip a player.

Would like to see Ed Allan reminded of this next time we play Melbourne and he dig Pickett's head into the ground so he remembers Ed Allan's name.

The spear tackle is his specialty.

 

[Big Bryza]

About to say now he is showing his talent and getting better week by week. Watch him walk for more opportunities etc

If bro wants the opportunity to become the no.2 mid in an AFL side, he won't be going anywhere.

Anyway, he's starting to show a fair bit. Getting first hands on it at stoppages and starting to utilise his breakaway speed from the contest. Once his disposal and decision-making tidies up, we've got a potential A grader on our hands. A bit of a slow burn but he's getting there.

 

[Big Bryza]

Was really happy with him but they should have had him run with Kosi from the start. He had 2 goals on the board very quickly. Allan is racking up good numbers with relatively low game time and showing important traits like pace, a bit of dare and the ability to play close and put pressure on his opponent.

Kozi hadn't had a kick for a month, so no surprise there wasn't a strong tag from the start.

A two year extension has the right feel. He needs confidence and needs to climb higher in the best 23. More than two feels a risk.

 

[Ctracks]

What Pickett said about him was really poor form. If I was ed I'd be playing what he said every day.

Little FIGJAM shit.
Always an oppo player, but you know how oppo supporters are.

 

[Gone Critical]

What he said is hubris and I hope it comes back to bite him

Thought Ed has comes on really well last few weeks. Really having some impact. Was big on him when we got him but doubts had taken over. Very happy to be wrong.

As for Kosi I love him. Plays footy like it should be played and has an edge. Not polished with the mic though and I think he guenuinally had forgotten Ed's name. Even if it was an act, as in Buddy to Razor, asking him if he knew the name of his opponent, love that anyway. Bit of bravado from the stars is ok.

For Ed put it in the memory bank. Helps him understand where he is on the journey and should drive him to make sure everyone knows who he is. All good stuff.

 

[Rorzza]

Yeah, Kosi's vocab in front of the cams isn't as extensive or as polished as say Darcy Moore

but who cares, the kid can play....Kosi did know Eds name because he said Ed, he just wasn't a hundred percent certain. I don't think Ed will lose sleep about it, he will have enough coaches pissing in his pocket this week his self-esteem will be fine.

90 percent of CFc posters still spell Ed's last name with an e.

Agree. Much prefer that to opposition players being all matey and complimenting each other.

 

[footballsack35]

Ed was the fourth rated midfielder in terms of CBA's with 85%
He was behind Smith, Anderson and Heeney
Keep doing it fly
