The Brisbane Lions have matched St Kilda's bid for Hyundai Help for Kids Lions Academy player Jacob Allison, taking him at pick #55 at the NAB AFL National Draft in Sydney.
At 194cm, Allison can play in a range of positions, once he finds where he is best suited on the field he can begin to master that role.
Allison was named an All Australian in 2015 as a bottom-ager after a promising carnival for Queensland as a 17-year-old.
His long kicking, athleticism and mobility made him an impressive prospect. He’s got a massive boot on him and has a clean pair of hands.
JACOB ALLISON: 193cm/82kg, 16/04/1998
- Queensland / Aspley
- Utility
- Athletic, versatile tall with a penetrating kick has the ability to maximise his strengths and give any opposition headaches.
