Past #32: Mason Wood - 65 NM games/76 NM goals - delisted end '20 - SSP selection for STK '21 - GL Mase

[Horizons_00]

Slowly building his match fitness game by game. He is a ******* gun! So much arrogance, I love it

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Set shot kicking needs work.

Looks great, misses too many gettable shots.

 

[scottywiper]

Has 'it'.

 

[Saintly2]

Is he the best mover on our list?

Higgo probably the only competition.

 

[DEVO]

If this kid and Garner can get a decent run without injuries we have two genuine X-factors that can have a huge effect on the outcome of games. They both have size, strength and speed to do some real damage.

 

[R00StaR]

Wood will be better then Stringer with a few more games. What a beautiful kick.
That chest mark attempt that didn't come off in the third across half back was eerily Carey esk.

Yes has a nice kick but radar slightly off atm. Takes one grabbers on the lead but in contested situations could hold onto a few more. Ive no doubt at all both those things will improve with game time. With that running power of his he's a perfect 3rd tall. As i mentioned in the other thread, i love our forward structure today - not good news for the other hopefuls.

 

[tazaa]

Just moves so ******* well.

Would have been the third musketeer to Carey and McKernan in the 90's. Is much better than good, hasn't played a lot of games. Has great ability to cover ground, mark over head, play the ball off the ground and is wonderful kick. We should offer Wood a nine year deal worth $9,000,000.00.

Take the lid off peeps, we got ourselves one. Who would argue if we gave away our first pick next year for a Wood clone? Not that I think one exists?

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He got called back with the flight last week and didn't go hard enough, so loved seeing him take that towering goal square mark back with the flight.

He is just an absolute jet. Can't wait to see him with 50-60 games under his belt.

 

[astrovic]

Career highs in possessions, uncontested possessions and marks. 19th game and 3rd game back from injury.

On the same trajectory as Garner.

Geez I hope he can remain fit. The kid could be anything!

 

[kangaspurs]

Big call I know, but does he remind anyone else of Nick Riewoldt a little? Hard running CHF type who can also play up the ground, great in the air, great on the deck with a lot of marks through simply working their opponent into the ground.

Don't forget Lmac is everywhere those days..

 

[Page8383]

Has more star power than anyone on the list.
If he played for Richmond or Collingwood he'd be all over the media.
Stringer is a poor mans Mason Wood imo

Really looks like a Carey junior the way he moves. Quite eerie really.

He's also a piss poor kick for goal like Nick.

I think kangaspurs answered the question best

L mac would have to be up there as well.

 

[Pykie]

Genuine AA level talent.

Riewoldt is a good comparison there's only 1cm difference, I feel like Masons much better at ground level and definitely a much better field kick.

Masons a good mark, but Nick is one of the best in the league, both have huge tanks, Nick knows how to use it better at this point.


Nick moving onto the wing later in his career, is a good example of a role we could move Mason into if we unearth another forward.

 

[Harris 10]

What Waite produced yesterday are the type of games Wood will produce in time.

Most exciting young player we've had in a very long time.

Doesn't have Riewoldt's sookiness.

 

[remfan101]

Nick Riewoldt is one of the best players to ever play the game, genuine champion. If Wood continues his trajectory however I reckon he could be on a similar level, maybe not quite as good but certainly in the ballpark which is ****ing incredibly exciting for us.

 

[Arden]

Riewoldt is a champion who has built his game on manic workrate and reckless abandon for his body.

Mason has more polish and better skills, if he can dig deep and push mental boundaries like Riewoldt, watch out.

Spot on.

Mentally one of the toughest footballers to play the game and durable as all hell.

The fact he is going to finish on 350+ games given his game style and position is incredible.

 

[shinboner magic]

Already showing great skills but wait till he starts clunking the big pack marks.
Just needs the confidence and doesn't look that confident when kicking set shots
