AFL Player 27: Mason Redman 🐕 - Goes whack

[Lore]

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

 

[MiguelM]

Has always been the weakest one-on-one defender in the defence, so teams exploit this by dragging him back closer to the goal-square - He is better suited on a wing.

Would help if he actually tried to punch the ball instead of wrestling for the mark.

Really lacking confidence, not sure what the best thing to do would be, wouldn’t mind giving him some different roles to chance things up. A stint forward couldn’t hurt.

Yeah, I remember him being a half forward early days and basically trying to kill blokes. Good times

 

[ghostdog]

Doesnt look fit to me, well off the pace. I know he didnt do a lot of main group training before our first game back and its really showing. Usually he's so tough in the contest, has to find something and quickly.

I was thinking the similar. He's been off the pace since early to mid June. Maybe carrying something.

 

[CBombers17]

Going backwards at the same rate Ridley is going forward.

Has never played there so not sure you can say he is suited to a wing. I agree his one on one defending deep has always been suspect.

Given the lack of forward pressure last night you could look at him going forward with a defensive role. Sides are dragging him deep and he is not a great one on one deep defender.

Fat side role

Plenty of room on the fat side.

Took a while but he started to find some rhythm against Adelaide in the second half.

Some of his football this year has been alarmingly bad. Such a strange drop off for a guy who was looking so good and who seemed to get through all of pre-season, etc.

I wonder if he took the piss during the shut down and has been playing catch up. Either way, he simply can't be dropped because we're so paper thin at the moment so at least he'll get the opportunity to work through the slump.

It’s the podcast crew, him, Raz and Zaka, get your head in the game boys

Reached his ceiling last year, which was fine, we can't get too greedy, but this year he has lost his keys and isn't even inside the building.

 

[eth-dog]

He's had one good quarter in three weeks.

Thought he bounced back after Cameron got him early - got two more but one was a Joe the Goose. Cameron is a very, very good player.

I’m a fan - think you persist with him. If we feel the need to do something then move him to a wing.

Is he even at the right address?

Saad was playing on Cameron in the end.

I feel sorry for the kid, why put him in a role where he’s going to fail. He’s not a deep lock down back, he plays his best footy hard at the contest rebounding up the ground. Why don’t they try him on a wing, he’d be better than ham right now. Poor coaching and you can see it’s ruined his confidence and now they’ll most likely drop him.

In fairness his celing is back in Melbourne

Pretty sure that change happened right at the end.

Most teams go taller on Cameron, hence Redman got the match up. Saad would struggle with him too - they love to isolate him when he gets a smaller opponent.

He got beaten but Cameron has and will beat a lot of good players.

Was a stupid matchup from the get go. The fact the coaching staff let it play out even after quarter time...

Yeah they put stronger players on him to try out muscle him. They should’ve tried Francis or Ridley if they were going down that path, ray Charles could see redman was the wrong match up.

Saad kept him goalless last year

 

[yaco55]

Redman would be much better served by playing on the wing instead of Ham - we have nothing to lose.

The game where we spanked them but feel like I’ve seen Cameron get hold of him before...can’t think when. Regardless, not sure how much better he would have done tonight.

I get why they went with Redman, that’s all I’m saying really.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Redman is at his best a B+

Currently either slightly injured, unfit or stopped meditating and lost his confidence C-
