AFL Player 27: Mason Redman 🐕 - Goes whack

[Lore]

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

 

[Eleven 38]

Our defenders get zero help from the midfielders. Its not surprising he had some shockers and looked in bad positions at times. But fwr out when ya mids turn it over on halfback 4-5 times in a row resulting in repeat 50 entries its not surprising defenders eventually get found out of position.

I'm willing to write off 2020 if Mason is. I'll happily accept the injury excuse for this one, because he looked like a completely different player 2019 compared to this year.

But all sorts of fingers crossed for this guy.
We're now establishing a currently very small young group to hopefully build together - Ridley, Draper, McGrath, Langford.
Redman should also be in there.

 

[eth-dog]

Very poor tonight. He's simply not good enough defensively.

 

[Loonerty]

Has regressed so damn much, a shame.

 

[Phone]

what he is actually supposed to be. i just know him as the guy who often does very stupid things

 

[Foxx]

Did some nice things. A little rusty at times, but not on him own there.

Did he?

I think he was definitely the worst of the backline.
Whenever he got it he took an age to dispose of it and was shocking defensively.

Coaches need to be held responsible. Wouldn’t be one person here who believes playing Francis,Laverde and Redman in the backline together is a good idea. Have all regressed or gone nowhere. All horrible decision makers and defenders and all fumble and panic and make terrible decisions under pressure. How do we think we can play with an undersized backline when we get outmarked all over the ground.Hooker has to play back because at least he can compete in the air and has height.

Hooker looked painfully slow. Has to be full forward or at home.

Didn’t come off for him tonight, but he’ll kick bags.

 

[Howard Moon]

Yeh, multiple times there were three of us just standing there out of position like we'd somehow crammed a few forwards in defence and hoped they'd figure it out

 

[foj1]

He has had his natural flair coached out of him
surely he is worth a crack forward

 

[srobbo]

Redman is a fumbling dud.

 

[Old Campaigner]

What happened to him? He had so much upside a couple of years ago.

Hooker was cooked years ago. He’s currently on an account based pension.

No room for natural flair in modern footy unless you’re Dustin Martin, Joe Daniher et al.

Bad injuries.

Hasn’t lost his pace though, which is good.

 

[Donakebab]

How much of the pre season did he miss, did he play either of the games?

He only played a VFL practice game last week

Thought he'd had a limited run. I know we're thin down back, but the automatic inclusion of a bloke with huge question marks over him is really disappointing.

 

[BrunoV]

Thought he was pretty good. Ran out of gas in the second half but that's okay.

Made a few errors that were more to do with rust, for example he flew at a ball he didn't need to fly at, and him and Hind need to sort out the cover the provide for each other but I was pretty happy with his game.

Can't seem to get through a pre-season so he's always starting slow. I only see reasons to be confident when it comes to Redman.

Do we have anyone else who is a) fit, and b) better?

 

[fairbump_playon]

A delisting ahead I reckon

The good news is he will have a lot of company

 

[Donakebab]

Thought Redders was one of our best, big improvement this week.

Really?

Redman is a good footballer. Played reasonably well today.

 

[Here_we_come]

Really?

Redman is a good footballer. Played reasonably well today.

I think Redman would struggle to get a game in most decent teams in the league.
