Why are we talking about Masten still?

Ok boomer.

Haggers saying Shep also one to watch as he had a scan.

Mastos 2015 was also good.

Is he the guy who said Barrass and Gov would be out until round 3 or something?

Anyone seen Cripps training since the Freo game. He hobbled off in pain near the end of the game.

Trained yesterday. Looked fine. As did Shepp

Surprised he hasn’t jumped all over Kennedy and his elbow. Last time he hurt it Hagdorn was basically performing last rites for JK.

how much longer can he be debated

how much longer can he be debated

At least until a new soft target establishes themselves in the best 22

 

[Capriati]

Why are we talking about Chris masten in the 2019/20 pre season training thread.

I didn’t realise he was still on our list?

Quite surprised that a few here are preferring Waterman over Allen.
If Allen is fit he should be a lock in as third tall.

I've got nothing against Waterman, I believe next season Darling, Allen and Waterman will spearhead our forwardline and I'm fine with that.
But while JK is still in I reckon Allen offers more and it is in our best interests to keep developing him this year.

Isn't Masten being replaced by Brander?

I don't see a way in for Allen right now.

Gov/Barrass are locks and Schofield has given no reason for them to overlook him.

Won't take Branders' spot as he's not a winger.

NN/Bailey were too impressive together to overlook.

They would be reluctant to pick him ahead of Waterman, as that would be 3 KPFs (too stylistically similar) in the same team.

Waterman provides more of a point of difference .

He'll have to wait for a bit longer imo.

I think Oscar in,Waterman out

Fully agree

Simple. We had no one else.

I have said this multiple times: Masten is the best of the worst. He is too good for WAFL but is fringe for AFL. We have been struggling for a full rotation of mids for years. Is it any surprise that once we got Kelly we dropped Masten quick smart?

With Kelly in Masten would be 100% in the WAFL. Whats the point of playing a 30 year old player in the WAFL?

And if you want an argument to authority so bad why didn't anyone pick up Masten for free this year? Even GC who want some senior players didn't touch him. I guess the other 17 AFL coaches and recruitment teams must not know better then a genius like you eh?

As of right now we have arguably the best midfield in the comp. If we have a fit NN, Shuey, Yeo, Kelly, Gaff, Sheed and Redden and we still struggle in the middle in 2020 then its not a talent problem, its a coaching one.

If this team can't make top 4 then maybe we need a bit of a shake up coaching wise.

Masten had a lot of pace and made it to a lot of the stoppages,I liked him for that but when he came to getting rid of the pil that was his down fall,you just crossed your fingers

 

[Cuzz09]

Oscar is in our best 22 imo.

Waterman is handy

No doubt Allen is better than Waterman, and ideally he'd be in the team.

I just have a hunch they want a balance of talls, mediums and smalls. OA, JD and JK are all KPFs, Waterman isn't and offers something different.

They've earmarked OA for the backline for a reason.

Allen hasn’t played a game all pre-season. He needs at least one run in the ressies before he comes into the AFL side.
