Redman has the x factor. Reminds me of steve johnson. Great overhead, good kick, capable of the unexpected.
hmmm, wish i saw that.

Look harder 
Iām with Ivan. He seems like a hard worker with decent all round skills and athletic ability, but perhaps no standout attribute.
He hardly got a touch in the VFL playing as a forward this year, and did much better when played as a defender. Considering we need small/mid sized defenders, I reckon thatās where his future lies.

Which is it?
For me Iād be pouring midfield minutes into him at VFL level next year. Heās spent time learning forward craft and defensive skills. Midfield is the next to add. Long term of be looking for Goddard or Kelly roles. Happy to spend long periods on the flanks, but also roll through the middle.
So yes, utility.

Very different player, but he reminds me of Elliott Kavanagh in that he is good at everything, but great at nothing.
Many draft experts held him in great esteem, and said we did well to get him where we did. As they did when we recruited Kavanagh. The hope was that if he can elevate one area of his game into the elite category heāll be an exceptional player. Heās yet to do that.

Spot on. Spent a lot of his junior footy at Glenelg as a midfielder. Iād be getting him to play as a HFF floating through the middle

In that case, he reminds me of me!
I am great at doing nothing.

Yes, I thought Iād heard that too.
If true then reasonably happy with how he seemed to develop more consistency- his first season was a mix of the very good and the gone missing.
Still looks a bit like a junior BJ so a position may arise in 2019 if he can develop this year.
I thought he looked very good down back. He is a quality user of the ball, has some height, and isnāt slow. Has to prove himself further, but I think he could be a good option in 2018 as a small back.

Didnāt overly see it myself, thought he was terrible mostly struggling to have an impact whatsoever up forward. Down back he looked a bit better showing some glimpses and flashing in and out but I havenāt seen many complete games from him and his few good games arenāt overly dominate. I feel people are grossly over estimating his value down back, and If Iām being honest Iād be more surprised if he wasnāt delisted in 3 years. Good luck to him tho, you sometimes never know how players will jump one year from the next at his age.
For what itās worth, I rate Mason. He seems a talented player with good skills, decision making, overhead ability, pace, and determination. Didnāt find enough footy as a forward, so moving back obviously helped. He does have a bit of x-factor, can take a nice mark, and occasionally explode through traffic, all of which are valuable traits at half back these days.

Mason can play, but weāve been short on openings for half backs.
I reckon heās a bit average. Goes missing for huge periods in games, and thatās not good. Heās got good competitiveness, but Iām not really sure what standout traits he has to be a AFL player. To be honest I wouldnāt be suprised if he never amounts to much, heās never really shown a great deal IMO

Well heās got a two years left to show something, so fingers crossed I guess.
Heās no star thatās for sure.
Thought he showed more in a wing than half back.
Needs a good run with injuries here out or he is going to find it tough.
