#27 Mason Redman - till end 2028

Doesnt give a toss, not on his own

I don’t think that’s true, he’s just horribly weak mentally. Five years is a laugh.

Wish he went to the crows when he had some currency.

He is terrible

Don’t know what happened to him but he’s been gifted a game for a long time now. Has zero care and should have traded

Redman has a 3 year cycle. One year awful, One year good, One year injured.

Given our track record of long term contracts we will get 2x bad years, 2x injured years and 1x good year.

He ain’t Robinson Crusoe there.
Welcome to Brad’s World…

Went to his head when everone fussed over his contract. Too cool for school now, doesnt go a hard as used to. Ih he has an underlying issue then sorry Mason, but hes out there serving up nothing close to what he should be… not on his own mind you

Saw how mentally weak he was in the covid year and he’s actually going worse than that now.

He’s looked disengaged for most of the season. Makes me wonder if there’s something in the background we don’t know about. Has lost his exuberance and dash. At his best, he would lead by example. Now, he’s mostly ordinary and a borderline selection the way he’s playing.

I will say I have been a long time fan. But it couldn’t be clearer to me now, he doesn’t care.
He has the talent, but he just does not care.

Trade him. Get him out of the club.
Not on his own. Anyone that does not care needs to jog on.

This guy has had a horror year. Never got above adequate. Would keep though. If next season is the same, delist.

WTF has happened to this bloke?
He used to be one we could depend on to crack in no matter what.
Where is the Reddog that used to smash contests, chase and tackle hard, back in to packs and mark the ball?
Now he spends more time running around looking for cheap handballs, and pays scant attention to his direct opponent.
He is either playing through injury (he does not look like he is moving freely) or has to be dropped to the 2’s.
Absolutely would not surprise if he asked for a trade back to SA.
He has looked very lackadaisical far too often, like that kick in yesterday.
He is a better player than what he has shown this year.

that’s been him for the last 3 odd years now, so that’s not new.

bar mcgrath, none of our defenders actually play close to their opponents, it’s obviously a directive, a ā– ā– ā– ā–  one, but still a directive. Ridley was equally bad last night, before his injury.

Yeah that’s not true though is it. Certainly this year he has been well below his best but to say he’s been unaccountable for 3 years is an exaggeration.

There is no way the club is paying him out 3 years.

well no it’s not, cos i’ve said it for the last 3 years, cos i’ve seen it for that long.
used to get flamed for it, cos you know ā€œomz’d a defender getting 30 possies makes him super duper awesomeā€.

he’s been a defensive liability for at least 3 years., if not more

No he hasn’t. Our defensive issues over the last 3 years have been about our pressure further up the ground and before that our inability to find a mark up on the wing. I don’t judge good defenders based on their possession count so I couldn’t tell you how many he gets. But his defensive marking and positioning have always been good. If anything has let him down in the last 3 years it’s been his brain fades when it comes to disposing of the ball; either from kick ins or off the half back flank.

And peeps were willing to bag out massimo for being poor defensively. Redman has been like this consistently throughout his career, but we get sucked in by his long range goals. He’s such an overrated player and escapes a lot of criticism on here. Yet people are also making excuses, injuries or blaming someone else like martin affecting how he plays. FFS he’s a defensively weak player who we shouldn’t have offered a long-term contract to.

Still remember his interview with the guys on the Lunchtime catchup podcast and how he admitted something along the lines that he was tired of being mediocre, mate you’re part of the problem.
