List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast: Oscar Allen

[Sammy J]

I don't get it... Judd has no hair.

You really don't remember this guy?

Bald Judd had nothing on youthful receding Judd.

 

[Double the Fist]

Strengths:
Football smarts
Reads play early
Reads ball in flight early
Leading patterns
Workrate
Forward pressure
Clean at ground level
Strong hands overhead

Dont you love it when the only weakness listed has nothing to do with footy nous, skill or attitude!

Wowsers.

 

[Mico89]

Was disappointed when his name was not called out for pick 13, but for him to still be available at 21 is amazing. Great pick up WCE he will be a jet for us!

Glad to hear he played as an inside mid until he was about 15 and had his growth spurt. Maybe he will be able to slip into the midfield rotations at some stage.

Absolutely blown away at how well he speaks for an 18 year old, can easily see him being captain material in the future.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

We should really train him as a mid early. Reading Fyfe's draft profile from 09 it's pretty similar. He looks like he's going to fill out and get huge. He is the inside bull we need.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I think he's pretty obviously prepared for the media prior to being drafted, which is interesting.

I like to think it bodes well for his work ethic.

If you're intelligent and confident, you shouldn't have any problems in front of the media. It has nothing much do with work ethic (not dismissing his work ethic as i have no clue about it).

 

[lewigie]

Yeah * sake, all you need to be is intelligent and highly confident in public speaking and it's bloody easy. Idiots.

Yeah but I don't think he rolled up and answered questions off the cuff that way. He's saying pretty much the perfect thing to every question and I've seen two interviews now where he's been "incredibly grateful for the chance and can't wait to repay the faith".

It feels to me that he's got semi-rehearsed answers to some typical questions.

 

[squashface]

He loves saying “first and foremost”

 

[kane249]

He loves saying “first and foremost”

Hopefully he is first and foremost to the ball also

 

[DanWCE]

Yeah **** sake, all you need to be is intelligent and highly confidential in public speaking and it's bloody easy. Idiots.

If you're too confidential no words will come out

 

[dajesmac]

Really confident this guy will be a bit of a gun.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Really confident this guy will be a bit of a gun.

He will be the action, stock, barrel, bore, beech, cylinder, grip, hammer, magazine, muzzle, trigger, trigger guard and other Google-able gun terms.
Lock it in.

Attitude and professionalism is one of the most underrated draft characteristics. Look at Priddis, couldn’t kick, couldn’t run, but had professionalism which he used to get the absolute most out of himself.

Just because you get the most out of yourself, it doesn't mean you're any good.

Increases your chances though. Pace doesn't mean you are good either, but it also helps.

 

[Bacchus]

Lamb was never a key forward in his U18 year though!! And Lamb also played predominately through the middle and Lamb is a fair bit taller

Lamb is a guy with a pretty poor attitude, Allen is the opposite.

 

[volkyn54]

with my track record for posting stupid s**t, I'm up for a very short career On bigfooty . very poor poster

Now I'm off to attempt to lick my own butthole

 

[Double the Fist]

Yeah, um.... really, err............. at the end of ahh... the day, ummm it, sorta really is with confidense and intelligense. Um.... yep. Public speaking err.... is pretty cruisy. Yeah, nah.

Geebus!

 

[liam123]

Allen looks a heck of a lot better than this bloke pre draft:



All depends how he fills out I guess

 

[EagleMan87]

Until he kicked that goal at the end, I thought that was one of Frank Matera's piss-take highlights reels.
