AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕 - Hamstring scan, test for Carlton game - Aaaaaaand he's gone - 4/6

[Lore]

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

 

[The Prosecutor]

He wasn't, he was equal 3rd

One coach had him the second best player...

Brad loves intercept marking

I guess it just goes to show that looking in from the outside you don't really know what the coaches really value in a player's output.

He was below his best possessions-wise but I'd guess with Martin being the primary distributor of half back Redman is being used more as an interceptor and possibly also more of a lockdown role.

That sums it up. Martin and McGrath pushing up the ground. Redman staying back and defining or intercepting. Hard to notice unless you are actually looking for it which it would seem most of us have not .

Well most did notice this week because of the intercept marks. His numbers where similar in the Saints game other than being well down on the intercept marking number . Easy to post it now. A lot of the comment was from after the Port game and his round 1 game was okay. He is playing a different type of role and 4 games in the picture is a bit clearer.

Just looking at our boards MVP thread most did miss it.

Worked his way into the game nicely last night. Stayed calm during Adelaides 6 goal run, played a big part in helping us settle, and then eventually regain the lead and win. Nice balance of defending and setting up play with his kicking

 

[Howard Moon]

Has this annoying habit on kick out of just nonchalantly wandering out of the square before he really has an option sorted, why invite undue pressure ?

He creates a false sense of security for the oppo, my boy, but he's actually setting up traps.

 

[Rick Ross]

What is his role in the team currently?

Isn't a lock down defender, isn't rebounding, doesn't take intercept marks.

Can’t remember a hand off to wheeling outside 50 goal followed by the horns this year… having a need for one of these tonight…

 

[nipst@r]

Think maybe just playing different role with Kelly up the ground a bit more. Seems redman taken on some of Kelly's defensive duties/role.

Whilst others mcgrath, Martin get up the ground he has to stay back and cover more. Can make a good contest but not sure of his one on one stats.

Though he was okay against the Eagles, but agree we need one long hand off bomb to confirm he is back in form.

 

[fairbump_playon]

It’s fine everyone.

He’ll keep improving as his hair grows back

 

[jmoo wan]

that goal was huge! i hope he is on his way back

 

[nipst@r]

Goal was confirmation. Red dog is back.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Much much better

 

[blitzer]

I reckon he's been quietly building the last month. Defensively he's been solid all year but now he's starting to get his offensive game going again. I reckon he can be a massive factor going into the second half of the year.

 

[Yoda_]

Watched the replay and he was close to our best 4 quarter player today. That goal was huge but it was the Redman of old we know and love out there

His hair is growing back. He'll get better the longer it gets

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Samson had his best game of the season

 

[bacon buster]

He was fantastic on the weekend

However, he ran under the ball 2-3 times that I can remember and let it out the back. Needs to tidy that up

Interviewed by Sam Edmund and David King this morning.
Keeping a lid on it. But summed it up with what they do in training has to be brought into game day every week otherwise means nothing. To me that says that this isn’t just something they do when the heat is on - it’s part of their game now. Entrenched.

Other points:

• Ben McKay and his efforts against Hogan and his inclusion to the team
• Zach Merret and his leadership
• Backline and he says will be stoked when rids is back this week or next.

Interview available on SEN. Not sure if I can paste a link to it here but worth a listen.

Go redders!

 

[Petrify]

Been super harsh on him this year but he was awesome last week. Hope he's found his feet now with Martin stealing his chips

i need a gif of the thing
