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.

Follow the night

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.

  • Queensland / Aspley
  • Utility
  • Athletic, versatile tall with a penetrating kick has the ability to maximise his strengths and give any opposition headaches.
