Stats
Bio
Recruited from Port Melbourne in the VFA, George Allen joined South Melbourne in 1946 as the club looked to maintain momentum following its Grand Final appearance the previous year. Standing 175cm, he was a goal-kicking rover and forward who could rotate through the attack, managing to boot 11 goals during his brief tenure at the Lake Oval. Despite showing promise in front of the sticks, Allen struggled to cement a permanent spot in the senior lineup, often finding himself on the fringe of selection over his three seasons. He finished his VFL career at the end of 1948 with 16 games to his name.
