Overview

• The 26-year-old underwent patella tendon surgery on June 19, ruling him out for the remainder of the AFL season.
• Medical assessments determined that calf and Achilles injuries suffered during last week’s loss to Carlton made a 2025 return impossible.
• The club anticipates that early surgery will allow Allen to complete rehabilitation in time for 2026 pre-season training.
• As a restricted free agent, Allen could accept more lucrative offers from Brisbane or Hawthorn, with both clubs understood to be offering deals exceeding West Coast’s capacity.
• West Coast’s 1–13 record positions the club for the No. 1 draft pick and band one compensation if Allen departs, potentially securing two top selections.
