This time last year Mason Redman was spending more time in the rehabilitation group than he was on the training track.

But the 19 year old’s preparation for his second AFL season has been uninterrupted, allowing Redman to advance his game.

“I’m really enjoying this pre-season … last year I spent all of January and pretty much all of February on the sidelines with tendonitis in my knee,” he said.

“This year I’ve been able to do all of the pre-season … and it’s really setting me up for a big year I think.

“I’ve hit PB’s in everything really so that just shows if you can keep yourself fit and healthy you can really make improvements.”

Redman spent the majority of last year honing his craft in the VFL.

He played 18 games at state level, averaging 14 disposals, four marks, three tackles and booting 18 goals.

Redman was called up to make his AFL debut in round seven against Sydney.

He picked up ten possessions and played a further two matches for the season.

“It showed me that I needed to get a lot quicker and develop as a player in all facets,” Redman said.

“That’s what I’ve been working towards this pre-season and the back end of last year, so hopefully it can all come together and I can have a good year this year.”

Redman hopes to eventually spend more time in the midfield but is happy to continue his development in the forward half for the time being.

“I’ve been setting up as a forward in the pre-season, the same as last year – that high half forward role,” he said.

“I’m hoping to push up into the wing/half forward role at some point but I’d be happy to play forward all year because that’s the spot I’ve been groomed to play.”

Redman is one of a number of forward options John Worsfold will have at his disposal this season.

Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Josh Green, Orazio Fantasia and Travis Colyer add to the small forward depth while Cale Hooker and James Stewart provide additional marking targets to complement Joe Daniher.

“It should be a good mix. I know whoever we’ve got on the park will give their all and if the ball gets down there a lot I think we’ll be really dangerous as a unit,” Redman said.

He's even got the BJ pointing to a T.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I'm bullish on this guy. I hope he can really become a player

It's easy to forget about this guy with your Francises, your Parishes, your McGrathses and so on.

Liked for how you just added 'es' to each name

 

[DapperDon]

Wonder if the club see him as a forward only or if they have greater plans ahead.
One thing is for sure, he will certainly have earned his spot if he gets best 22 throughout the season.

Goddard Jnr.

Still a few more protein shakes away by the looks of him.

Did he play VFL on th weekend? Did he do anything of note? Really looking forward to watching this campaigner in the seniors this season.

Worried this guy will end up at Norf, because we aren't playing him D:

No. He'll be back for the next one I believe now that we have our VFL list finalised (fringe VFL players were given preference just to see who would get the last 3-4 spots).

Pretty sure we have him signed until the end of 2019....

What? rofl - Fairly certain these two have time.

 

[fishardansin]

Fairly sure Morgan won't be on any AFL list in a year or two.

Well here's a front runner for garbage post of the year in the field of player delistings.

 

[Rack Watts]

Fairly sure Morgan won't be on any AFL list in a year or two.

Kevin Sheedy - on Jobe Watson?

Anyone know if he's playing in the VFL this weekend? Assuming we have a game.
