In hidsight this is like the Stenglein Vs Headland trade again. We went for the workhorse as opposed to the flashy one and we got more than repaid with the move.
The main reason for Allen going out of the side isn't Allen, it's good old team balance. We do look better as a team with JK/Darling and an assortment of smalls with a ruckman as a third marking option.

Allen spends time too close to goals when not in the ruck. He needs to be further up the ground being an option between the arcs.
Not only that it’s also good to rotate that spot given we have four pretty decent young key forwards and all could do with a bit of afl.
Based on Burgoyne playing on next year at 38 years of age, you would have to think that Kennedy has another six or seven years in him.Allen spends time too close to goals when not in the ruck. He needs to be further up the ground being an option between the arcs.

I’m not sure we would change anything given our time again
Well he could have, in the change rooms. We may never knowPlus Adam Selwood never made Stenglein his bitch.
Well at the moment we have Ryan, Rioli, Cameron and Petruccelle. Think thats a decent amount of small forwards.
[/QUOTE]WC didn’t work too hard to get a like pick to satisfy Geelong last year or offer Brander up in a trade so how does that make them think that they f**ked up?
Makes me think that they were happy with their decisions.
I want Oscar Allen in the sideYou want 3 talls and 2 rucks?
Brander is about to break out . Looked impressive against West Perth . Would rather keep Brander than trade for Kelly .
Im not a fan of trading Brander. Id rather keep him and develop him into a CHF with Darling at FF and Allen as third tall. The only problem I see at the moment is fitting in Jake Waterman. The guys too good for WAFL at the moment.
It would be interesting to see if he could play that role. Even a tall wingman, but his kicking isnt good enough.Maybe we end up going from playing an extra mid as a forward, to playing an extra forward as a mid

No, don’t think so.
Used pick 13 on Brander.

Waterman's field kicking has always been very good.
