North Melbourne recruited Barry Allan from South West Gippsland League club Beaconsfield and he made his senior VFL debut in round four 1962. During his first couple of seasons he played mostly reserves football before becoming a regular senior player in 1964. A ruckman, in 1966 he wanted to join Pakenham as a captain-coach but the ‘Roos refused to clear him. He remained with the club until the end of the 1967 season by which time he had played 61 VFL games and scored 18 goals.
