Jackson ALLEN

2014 Digest:   Versatile small defender who has managed a handful of games over the past two years. Showed steady form in the NEAFL last season and will be pressing hard to jump up the pecking order.

2014 NAB Cup:   Did some nice things against Brisbane but isn’t in the best 22 at this stage.
