Bio
Originally a highly touted junior recruited from the Port Adelaide Magpies, Trent Ormond-Allen was taken by Melbourne with pick 10 in the 1993 National Draft but is best remembered as the ultimate hard-luck story of the Adelaide Crows' premiership era. After failing to settle in Victoria, the athletic utility was traded back to South Australia ahead of the 1997 season, where his versatility and massive vertical leap saw him quickly cement a spot in Malcolm Blight’s best 22. He played 18 games that year and fought back from a broken jaw to feature in the finals, only to be cruelly ruled out of the 1997 Grand Final side after contracting glandular fever during the preliminary final week. The heartbreak continued in 1998 when, despite playing 15 games and qualifying for the finals, he was squeezed out of the side late in the year and named as an emergency for the club’s second premiership triumph. Ormond-Allen was eventually delisted following the 2000 season, returning to the SANFL where he finally secured a premiership medallion with the Magpies.
