Overview
- Allen has been strongly linked to the Brisbane Lions, with reports of a lucrative long-term offer in play.
- Coach Andrew McQualter said the Eagles have been in constant dialogue with Allen and consider him a required player.
- Contracts remain active through the end of October, with free agency opening afterward and time still available for a deal or a matched offer.
- The co-captain has not played since round 14 after June knee surgery following calf and Achilles issues.
- If he departs, reporting suggests West Coast could receive high draft compensation, potentially pick two, and it would be an uncommon exit for a sitting captain.
