Stats
Bio
Hailing from Maffra and recruited via the Xavier College pathway, Allan McLean was a significant physical presence who joined Melbourne as the club re-entered the VFL following the Great War. Standing 187cm, he was exceptionally tall for the era, utilised primarily as a follower and forward capable of competing in the air against undersized defences. He made his debut in Round 2, 1919, joining a "Redlegs" outfit that was severely underprepared after a three-year hiatus and struggled to find cohesion. McLean featured in five senior matches during a disastrous winless season for the club, serving as a gap-filler in the ruck division before his brief VFL career concluded at the end of the year.
