Allan posted 67 in a tight 6-point away loss at the SCG — that's a genuine contribution in a hard-fought contest against a top-four side. After R6's 51 in a close win over Carlton, this is consecutive game time with scores above his 38 BE. At $260.4k he's pricing at cash cow territory and the selection instability of early rounds appears to be behind him. Cash gen is marginally negative at -$692/wk meaning price is barely drifting. Buy for cheap MID depth — the job security risk is diminishing with each game played.

Role Change· T3

Strong community discussion at Collingwood advocates Edward Allan should play exclusively in the midfield rather than being deployed as a winger. Multiple high-upvote comments agree his tools are wasted on the wing and he only shows his best when used in the guts at VFL level. Some debate whether Ned Long should be dropped to accommodate him.
