Uncontracted for next year and has a lot of things we could do with. Obviously has good speed and can kick goals, but he's also won a flag and was in the Lions leadership group this year. Would turn 29 during next season.

“Personally I have a bit of contract stuff to work out. I love the group but I will wait and see,” Christensen said.

Trade talk: Lion Allen Christensen fears his Brisbane career may be over

 

 

Maybe. Ideally we should have pushed harder for him when he was set to leave the Cats. I feel like he peaked early and was at his best in his late seasons at Geelong, early seasons at Brisbane. Could maybe play a role for us up forward and can still be dangerous though. But I doubt he'd entertain coming back to Vic.

The bloke had some serious personal issues (I won't put them in here as it might not be appropriate) and he needed to get out of the state.  We were no chance of landing him when he decided that he needed a fresh start.

Had a lot of 'other' issues, which is why he needed to leave Geelong and Victoria, so not sure he'd be keen on coming back to any of the Vic clubs. A lot were very surprised he actually continued with footy when he left the Cats.

He has been very open about his personal issues:  allen-christensen-reveals-gambling-problem-at-geelong

Credits Neil Balme for a heart to heart and turning him around:  “Balme said, we obviously need to help you...I’m forever grateful for that because that was a light bulb moment for me.”

According to the article (March 2019) he hadn't placed a bet since 2014.  So seems low risk.  But played only 13 games for the Lions this year so not a regular 22.

imv he is a poor man's Jamie Elliot.  Prefer the latter.

 

As an aside, Lions are getting Ah Chee from the Suns so it forces Christensen out. lions-offer-longterm-deal-to-wantaway-suns-highflyer    Ah Chee is just 21 and has "...officially requested a move up the highway last week to fulfill Chris Fagan's plan to add more pace at the Gabba next season". 

With Ah Chee, Brisbane are adding the finishing touches to an already very, very good list.  They will have a harder draw next year but don't see them going too far backwards.

Yes he certainly did, I doubt he would ever consider coming back to Victoria.

Deadset no. I know too much about him to even entertain this.

More than the Lions who had him in their leadership group this year?

Evidently.

I wouldn’t welcome into our club anyone with a severe gambling addiction, or a habitual womaniser, let alone a 2-for-1 deal. 

Christensen can’t handle being in Victoria.

Not at all. You can’t see the difference?

That is basically how I see him.

A big no from me.

Right. Forgot to add that he is an ordinary player.

if elliott falls over he'd be a nice to have fall-back option

has pace

If he was white I'm not sure anyone would mention him as having speed or pace. Falling for the stereotype on that one.

A crafty footballer at his best who was a sharp mover but never anything special in a straight line. Now he doesn't really have the size, speed, strength or fitness to be damaging at half forward and can't draw free kicks as he used to.

I can't see us being interested.

 

He reminds me of a more experienced Jay Kennedy Harris.

Nothing of him really stands out.

This isn't a serious statement surely? I simply said he "has good speed", and you're trying to infer that he's in fact slow and I've racially stereotyped him, rather than actually seen him play. What an utterly ridiculous and offensive comment. You're more than welcome to email BOTH the clubs he played for and accuse them of racism if you wish too (see below).

"Allen Christensen is a fleet-footed midfielder with the ability to push forward and hit the scoreboard."

"Another of the Cats’ band of fleet-footed midfielders"

"His speed and skill will only add sizzle to Brisbane’s midfield."

"Allen Christensen and Steven Motlop have injected speed and skill"

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
