Player Watch Edward Allan

[Babylove]

I think that he was a carry over emergency makes him extremely likely to debut next week.. sub role?

Not necessarily. He didn’t play at all this weekend so that may hurt his chances of getting a call up.

 

[Jen2310]

Debut v freo in WA in front of his family and friends would be nice.

That would be perfect.

What has he done to earn a debut? He's been mediocre and timid at VFL level

Must have done something to be an emergency

Tbf, we didn't really have many options left.

Not being injured was good.

Last round showed we have depth wasting in the VFL. Look what they did on the big stage
Get him in the side.
If we're going back to back and at the same time. developing the future crucial we get young talent in over the old boys who are stagnating. Comes in for Hoskin Elliot if he has a bad one against the crows. Or rest Pendles for the Perth trip
Need to take a squad mentality

Thought he played decently well today too. Trending well

 

[Eric Shin]

Surely a debut in front of a home crowd is on the cards next week

Given his running power the main players he'd be in line to replace are Hosk, Lipinski, Josh or Sidey. With Hosk to miss he could be a chance, tho Will's been playing a different role recently.

Fly's presser Round 10: Key takeaways

Collingwood Senior Coach Craig McRae spoke to the media this morning ahead of the Magpies’ Sir Doug Nicholls Round clash versus Kuwarna (Adelaide Crows) on Saturday.

Sounds like a player Fly doesn't have much faith in.

 

[Soups]

Just watched some VFL highlights from the weekend and the thing I noticed with Allan, he finally looked quick. Had a really good chance down tackle and a couple passages of play where he put his foot down. It’s good to see.

How did you get that out of:

“He’s getting closer (to a debut). He was a carry over this week, so didn’t play to put his name up in lights a bit more, but he’s the fittest guy on our list. His GPS stuff is more than anyone else, he does higher speed running better than anyone in our team and we like to think there’s a place for that in our team.

What part of this statement from Fly tells you he doesn’t haven’t faith in Allen?

Ed Allan

Beat you by a few seconds. Exactly my thoughts.

Also, that presser was from three days ago.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I took it as tongue-in-cheek, am I giving him too much credit?

Who knows on here anymore. If people are only joking you're meant to know, but if they're being serious, you're meant to know that too. And if you get either wrong, watch out for the abuse.. it could last for weeks.

Not joking

Unusually positive in adversity, Dave.

Did somebody steal your log in credentials?

 

[Kappa]

Good to hear Allan had a good VFL performance, needs to string a few together and then he's deserving of a debut.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Looks like he had a couple of instances of getting the ball and just taking off, which is great in terms of having the confidence to make the play and take the game on, and also displaying his pace.

Are there Ed highlights that I haven't seen from the match?
