AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

[Lore]

Contract Status: Free Agent 2028
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 24, ghostdog

 

[Ambrosia]

Can you still contest based on force being too low to require a report? If not then yeah I don’t see how we could get him off.

 

[Maddogm]

needs to pay a little more attention.

So it's best to bide your time and smack them when the ball is nearby?

That, or belt them in the carpark after the game

 

[Snake Charmer]

Punching people in the jaw in front of the umps at the contest

Pushing someone and making contact above the head off the ball

 

[JayJ20]

Everyone is saying it's dumb or weak. Let me ask, what's the argument that gets it downgraded to a fine? It was low impact. Can't get lower. It was graded intentional. Hard to argue against that. It's hard to see how we win, which is the issue.

Well he is pushing with an open palm to his upper arm and it slips high because Newcombe tries to grab him simultaneously. I don't think that should be graded as intentional because you can literally see what his intent was before
Newcombe's action directed his hand to hit him high.



I don't see why they don't try with no risk of increasing his suspension.

he’s going by The Doss now is he? what a w***er

 

[HirdsTheWord]

So Hewett was deemed to be on the ball/in the contest/however they want to define it?

Seems a dud rule. Essentially because Hewett was near a ball up he was allowed to whack him in the face. Which was more of a punch to the jaw. Redman’s was barely more than a jumper punch, with Newcombe laughed about afterwards cos he sucked him in.

Makes it a bit of a grey area to me

essentially if you want to belt someone do it near the ball and you're all good.

 

[citizen-erased]

How do they define the 'contest?

Was it a Carlton player and/or Brownlow fancy?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Anyone moaning about the Redman suspension needs to pay a little more attention.

The AFL effectively closed the loop on off the ball strikjng motions over summer in February.

Mason struck him with both arms, 50m off the ball and ended up getting him high.

Its a pretty straight forward week off, and i dont know what way you could argue it to get him off with a fine without sounding like an idiot (like trying to argue it wasnt a strike).

Edit: See post by Phone above

Until it comes to finals time and a big name player does the same/similar thing and will get off

 

[Beerfish]

I'm fine with it as long as they're consistent but we all know they won't be.

 

[fishardansin]

I'm fine with it too .. the push and shove off the ball irritates me. It's not like we're stopping how people contest the ball, it is completely unnecessary boorish behaviour.

 

[Zach Package]

Picked a dreadful week to do it. Having someone that can punch flat missiles out of the back 50 is most important at the SCG and we really have no one else that can do it.

 

[LB#16]

Kind of ideal that he missed round two though because if he'd played, he'd have put a Bondi prick in a chokehold and missed the next few.

 

[ghostdog]

My boy Redders' return from suspension match v. St Kilda;
25 disposals (21 uncontested) equal 7th
8 marks (4th)
4 tackles (4th)
448 mg (5th)

Was solid without stamping himself on the game.
Kept his temper in check

 

[mcgrath_truther]

if there's one word to describe reddog, it's consistent.

he never has a bad game, and he always plays extremely well. he's very important to our team

[mcgrath_truther]

he's always perfect in my eyes ever since he tried decapitating ginnivin

 

[ghostdog]

Unwarranted look that. Red Dog holds it down and everybody knows it.

Look I love Redman and think he is AA quality but there is no denying that when he is off he is ******* atrocious.

Key for him is not having his annual two stinkers.

I think you've nailed it. His off games are rare but when he has them they're pretty ordinary and often ends up with him becoming undisciplined rather than playing with his usual aggressive edge.

No, my boy is never atrocious.

You obviously don't understand art though. But that's okay. Culture comes more slowly to some.

Some call it being 'undisciplined', but to the trained eye, it's avant garde.

FTFY

 

[Blind Turn]

What’s going on Mase? Been drinking your own bath water? Pull your finger out mate. That was a low point game for you.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Honestly he's been pretty average since signing that contract.

We should've just kept him on 1 year deals. /s
