Past #32: Mason Wood - 65 NM games/76 NM goals - delisted end '20 - SSP selection for STK '21 - GL Mase

[Istanbul Roo]

Black's agility is off the charts, moreso that Wood's, but Wood is no slouch either. They'd be pretty similar in pace but Wood has the upper hand in endurance.

For me, incumbency overrides change. And Black is vastly more experienced than Wood, something not to be underestimated. It allows a player to adjust when things aren't going their way.

 

[TwentyNine]

Thought Wood was pretty solid in NAB 2 but has a ways to go yet before he can be considered a best 22 player. Hopefully plays a handful of games this year.

 

[Shermanator]

I reckon this kid is going to be something special.

Same feeling as watching Cunners in his first couple of seasons, showed glimpses of brilliance that made me think when this kid gets 70 odd games under his belt some magic will happen.

I hope he gets a decent run of games in 2015.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I'd be stoked with 10 games.

 

[Liam Boy]

Should surely be playing Round 1 after that performance. I'm impressed.

 

[Harris 10]

Still has a lot to learn but to me the only way he'll learn is by playing ones.

If it was my decision both Black and
Wood play round 1 and Brown misses out.

But geez i like Brown and think he is going to be a serious player for us in the years to come.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Should surely be playing Round 1 after that performance. I'm impressed.

Hard to see Black getting a game

Similar style players, but Woods defensive pressure and tackling has gone well past Black.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

You can't leave this bloke out.

 

[GarnerSmash]

He's doing everything that is being asked of him.

Reckon he plays round one.

 

[niko11]

In the words of Dunstall i think on Wood.. "Everything he done today was Class"

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Even if you put aside his NAB cup it would be poor NOT to include him round one seeing he's had probably the best preseason of any of our "talls"

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I'd play him on a wing.

Drew and Waite get 2 spots.

And I simply can;t decide between Black and Brown for the other.

Toss up between the 2, I'd start with Brown due to how late Black started the preseason, let him get some game time in the 2s first.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Should surely be playing Round 1 after that performance. I'm impressed.

agree, lock him in for round 1.
His left foot snap goal from 40 out was my highlight of the day

 

[the big lebowski]

Round 1 lock. Black finds touch in the twos

 

[Heaps of fun]

Waite has been better but Wood is surely ahead of Black and Brown.

 

[B4Bear]

Waite has been better but Wood is surely ahead of Black and Brown.

Black yes.

Brown, not so sure.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Has to play.
Kicks goals and lays tackles.

Immediately before he absolutely shanked a set shot.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Laid an absolute cracker of a tackle on Rance.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Laid an absolute cracker of a tackle on Rance.

Took Martin down as well.

That Rance tackle was huge.

 

[Pykie]

Bloke is a dead set jet, will be in our best 5 players in the future imo, he's an athletic beast to match his skill set. Now just needs games, to build experience in AFL running patterns etc.

Worked really hard on his size, he's huge for his age. Doesn't quite have the range and spring of Cameron, but you can see why they were compared pre-draft.

Going to make a gun CHF in 5 years imo.

 

[jess_1804]

Just finished watching the first quarter replay. Very impressive signs from Wood, surely has to be right in contention for round one. Also had a bit of a giggle at the Eddie Mcguire man-crush comment. The commentators love him.

 

[The Nostradamus]

this goal was jizzworthy

 

[Reginald0]

is everyone agreeing he is 192cm
to me he seems bigger,
so is CHF a possibility?


covering old ground it appears
