AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

[Lore]

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

Well that ******* sucks, but as far as fractures go at least it's not that bad. A non displaced fracture means that while the bone has been broken it has been a fairly clean break in one place and remained in alignment, reducing the complexity of the required surgery. Compare this to a complicated fracture where the break is in two or more places and the bone fragments have moved out of place. Easiest to think of the first as a crack and the second as a true break or shatter.

His previous syndesmosis fracture is more a fracture of the ankle joint itself, with the break extending to the joint at the base of the fibula and including damage to the tendon connecting the fibula to the tibia.

The second break was bad, but the first was just damn awful, so at least there's a silver lining... but given he was still on his way back from a serious break his rehab time will be extended.

I’m not ok with this.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

It sucks for him but not end of the world has only played 5 games since he's been drafted it's not like his an intergal part of the 22.

 

[vass44]

Redman has lots of talent I reckon, and he's still young, but he's possibly one more injury away from being one of those unlucky footballers with lots of talent who never got the best out of himself because of injury

No but he showed enough to easily convince he would quickly become very important for us.

Blow.

 

[DERO]

We have plenty of depth in his position so it should be fine. Just a shame as he showed that he has what it takes last year. Looks like Gleeson might battle as well. Time for Francis and Riddley to step up.

Would trade Gleeson if one of Francis or Ridley step up.

Dont think Gleeson will be the same player after his injury.

I hope you are wrong but you may well be right.

6'2 guys with pace and a top 5 engine who can play in defence with stints on ball.

If he wasn't an integral part of the team it's only a matter of time.

Realistically, I'd say he can probably be fit enough to play in the first month.

It's more the frustration that's he's not going to have the preseason usually required to 'break out'

Think Redman would compliment our backline beautifully as a running winger that can play a defensive role.

Good tank with good disposal, and reads the play well. Hopefully he’s able to get a good second half of the season in as I think he and Ridley are two guys that are very exciting young players.

 

[Darealrath]

So frustrating. With a good pre-season he would have been right in the mix for round 1 after the form he showed before he got injured the first time.

If there are no more complications he might still have a role to play in the second half of the year - can use the first half of the season in the VFL to get his fitness base and touch back.

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Heartbreaking for Mason. You could tell how hard he worked to get his start in the team and how much he wanted to make an impact after a very length VFL apprenticeship. I had him as easily best 22 this season so really rotten luck and timing for him.

It does present an opportunity for a Begley or Ridley to step up and claim that spot in the 22 though. Risk for Mason is that so many of his peers may pass him while he is sidelined.

 

[Foxx]

****!

 

[JuniorWatch]

Any progress reports on old mate?

 

[daffo]

If we want to improve and become a top 4 side we need players like Redman to be fit and firing. This sucks.

Was in the modified group today - positive

The modfield group you say? How did he fare against the other mods? He had Doss covered, didnt he?

 

[fairbump_playon]

It's a modified group - not a group of mods. Doss mostly just watches and waits for things to get out of hand. He only jumps in if Redman and Gleeson start pinching or biting each other.

 

[Howard Moon]

but are the modifications disclosed on the policy?

if they don't, they may not get paid out in case of incident

Back running 'over ground'. Finally. Only two ankle injuries since the last time he was available to play...

Redman has made his own improvements in recent weeks, returning to the track in a significant step forward in his rehabilitation.

“Mason was out of the boot two and a half weeks ago, he’s worked through his AlterG progressions in terms of the amount of body weight he’s been able to tolerate with his running.

“He’s been running over ground now for a couple of sessions.

“We’re looking forward to seeing Mason build up his running volume, given he was in the boot for a period, and then working on his change of direction and integrating back into training over the next few weeks."

They are taking the piss now.

They are taking the piss now.

It means his full weight is going through his legs, rather than in the AlterG thing. Still sounds a bit silly though

 

[Milanista28]

Hope he plays early in the year and keeps his spot.

Jumped out at me too.

Is there no aspect of life unimpacted by this sort of faux professional jargon?
