Glenelg

KALLAN BEVAN

”Kallan has been a consistent performer for us this year with his second nomination for MVP. Again gathering many possession from the stoppage with five clearances or running hard to space to receive a kick or handball. A great mix of contested and uncontested possession while running on to help out the defence or kick the ball inside 50 at the other end.”
