I must say I got it wrong with him. I thought his ceiling would be to be solid most of the time best 22 player.
Heās already way more than that and still has loads of development ahead.

Hurls needs to give the ball to this bloke whenever possible. Has excellent disposal low and flat and good decision making. Hurls 50 metre loopy kicks get turned over 50% of the time.

When it comes to contract extensions, ārepay the faithā is a close second to āhas signed for X number of yearsā. Great stuff, Mason.

Because you get the players 10% cheaper.
Jackets on the plane to Perth could be a bad omen. Bad for the team, but good for Mason.

He does have lots of upsideā¦ but Iām interested in where it will come from. As a half back heās doing all that can be expected. Could he push onto a wing, go into the middle? Except for the KPPs in Hooker, Hurls and McKernan, we seem to be building a squad of athletic mids/ruck rover types that can pinch hit in almost any non-KPP on the ground.
I reckon Reds (and Riddles in the VFL) will be trained to be one of these next gen footballers who can play multiple positions, sometimes in the space of one game. Lang and String are there, Parish, Begs are getting thereā¦ Lav when fit enough, will be one. Reds and Riddles both have the raw ability to do the same.
Maybe this is the long term thinking behind Wooshas comments about building a team, not just to make finals, but one that will win multiple flags
It might be common at all clubs, but there are signs the 20-25 age group are tight knit. Many have played together at VFL level and bonded well down there and are now filtering up to AFL level. Its no coincidence that 5-7 of the young players were in our best 10 players last week. Its almost a generational thing.

All theyāre carrying is a few of their older teammates.
And the expectations of Blitz.

He might cop 6 weeks for the kick he dished out tonight.

If he doesnt get a rest Iād be inclined to give him one. We need big bodies v Giants
Thought he had a dip and took the game on when the rest of our team virtually submitted to turnover passing. Given heās not yet played 20 games at AFL level, so much to like about Redman. Will only get stronger and better imo
