AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

[Lore]

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

 

[DERO]

Doesn't turn 22 until August so I think he's fine

He’s a Monty then, surely?

 

[citizen-erased]

Had to be 21 or under on Jan 1
Missed it by a few months

 

[Knox Harrington]

Out of him and David Myers for most improved I'd say

 

[Maddogm]

He's still 21

 

[jmoo wan]

He's still 21

excellent! is it Jan 1 yet?

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

excellent! is it Jan 1 yet?

It's always Jan 1 somewhere in the world, my dude. Time... Dates... these are nothing but social constructs. Don't let them burden you.

 

[Andronicus]

Is he too old for a rising star nom?

Even if he is, not sure it matters for the charlie.

 

[eth-dog]

Is he too old for a rising star nom?

Yes.

 

[Mercurial89]

Yes.

Was brought up in one of the Dylan Clarke interviews. Still listed on betting sites as eligible (not saying you are wrong.)

Pretty deplorable if true. But I guess probably not surprising

 

[Maddogm]

Yes.

if he's still 21 now, that means he was still only 21 on Jan 1 so how does that make him too old?

 

[Kakkle]

Because you have to be under 21 on January 1st. He was 21, so he isn't eligible.

 

[DERO]

Can we make our own award for him like Collingwood did for Jeremy Howe?

 

[Maddogm]

Because you have to be under 21 on January 1st. He was 21, so he isn't eligible.

The wording I've found is 21 or under. Not that AFL state it anywhere

edit: immediately after posting this I find it on the AFL website (as under 21) because when you're looking for eligibility criteria, History is the obvious place to look

Can we make a hawthorne player runner up? that would be fun!

 

[DapperDon]

Can we make a hawthorne player runner up? that would be fun!

Or make Burton most improved player in the comp

 

[DERO]

Or make Burton most improved player in the comp

He has been much better than “Winged god”.

 

[Dons4days]

Plays like somebody who has played a lot more than 14 games. Looking forward to this rate of improvement continuing over the next 50-100 games.

Oh well. Maybe next year.

Let's not get greedy.

He did a long apprenticeship at least partially due to getting injured at bad times.

He wont improve much more, at least I dont think, but he will start to play a more prominant role.

I cant really think of anything he could be doing that much better.

I still see him becoming a midfielder long term once he's done his apprenticeship down back. He's a great kick & I think the team will start playing through him more in the near future which is hopefully where the improvement comes from.

 

[BrunoV]

Well he's looked human tonight

Well he's looked human tonight

Bounced back really well in the second half I thought, his kicking inside 50 was sublime

 

[Duckworth]

That report was soft. Will take all of 5 seconds for it to be thrown out.
