It’s worth noting Mason Fletcher has spent most of the back half of the year playing forward for Calder. He’s kicking goals too, had a bag of 4 a few weeks back vs Dandenong, and seems to be getting about 2 a game. As I write this he’s kicked 2 against tassie just up to half time in the wildcard round.
Needs work and size but I’m finding it interesting that this has happened? Essendon directive perhaps? We do need to be developing forwards.
“Look, Mason’s an exciting talent, and a fantastic young man. Comes from a great family, obviously. He spent most of last year in defense, but has shown this year as a 19 year old that he can kick goals up forward. With his kicking skills and speed we think he could end up playing on a wing, or even push up the ground as a tall mid once he puts on some weight.” - Adrian Dodoro, November 24th 2019, probably.
Fletcher has been training with us a lot lately. He’s a beautiful kick. I guess they must be giving him a lot of consideration if he’s training with us so much both pre-season and now.
