tim allen -lrb- born 12 october 1970 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with st kilda , hawthorn and geelong in the australian football league -lrb- afl -rrb- during the 1990s .
selected in the 1988 vfl draft , allen was a key forward and spent most of his four seasons at st kilda in the reserves .
his preferred position was full-forward but as st kilda had tony lockett at the time his opportunities were limited .
he finally broke into the seniors towards the end of the 1991 afl season and played five games .
in the 1992 season he was selected more regularly and appeared in 17 of a possible 23 games .
allen , who was used in the ruck on occasions , received three brownlow medal votes for his 22 disposal effort in a win over adelaide that year .
he was traded to hawthorn at the end of the season , in return for the 119th pick of the 1992 afl draft .
in two seasons he played just eleven games and nominated for the 1994 draft .
geelong secured him with pick 81 but with the club having appeared in two of the last three grand finals , it was always going to be difficult to make it into the seniors .
they made the grand final again in 1995 and allen 's only game came in the final round of the home and away season , due to the absence of both gary ablett and billy brownless .
after leaving the afl , allen continued to play in the mornington peninsula nepean football league .
