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

[King Corey]

Mason ticks all the boxes talent and physical attributes wise.

However a couple of his efforts in r23 were curious for a bloke who potentially could've put his name into the finals selection mix.

Anyone been down to training and can report on how Mason is travelling? He looks to have bulked up by the limited images I've seen but still maintaining his endurance? Seems to have gone under the radar this pre-season amidst all the hoopla of the Jedi and new draftee's arrival. Possible breakout 2016 or once again confined to the fringe???

His hair is longer.

Haven't been to training but in the clips, he is often front and centre. Just get the feeling that he has some good intent and determination about him. Then again he might just enjoy being in front of the camera.

Could be a surprise packet this year.

Bloody hope so

 

[Bigeasy]

He needs to HTFU

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hard to see where he gets a gig. Having that third tall in the forward line really hurts Wood's and Black's prospects at getting senior game time

 

[marklovesbeer]

Looking fit.

 

[SMaturin]

HTFU indeed. Train on concrete. Grass is for wimps.

Kinda bad timing following that particular pic.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Dat left shoulder?

Looks to have been danked.

 

[JZTIME!]

Would it be beyond the realms of possibility to play him as a tall wingman or HFF. Rotating through the middle. Not sure on his ball winning ability in tight but the Garner type prototype? Similarly would like to see black play on a wing with his athleticism in the type of role you see Reiwoldt and back in last year or 2 Richo. May not be fast enough though

 

[Bigeasy]

Id try him off half back

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Wing would work good. His kicking would be upgrade on gibsons

Wells - Petrie - Wood

Yessss.

Wing would work good. His kicking would be upgrade on gibsons

But of course, our structures would break down and the world would stop turning.

 

[Saintly31]

If he can clean up the soft shit he keeps serving up, reckon can be a very handy player and looks in excellent condition.

A hard running, tall wingman to push forward and hit the scoreboard would be his best fit for mine.

This is exactly how I think we will play him. If you can be bothered I'm pretty sure I've posted similar in the thread. Having said that, I agree with the big easy, kid needs to HTFU. Like Denis used to say, no point looking like Tarzan if you play like Jane. He ticks every other box though.

I will have a look mate I work away a lot so do most reading on my phone! I'll get home soon pull out the laptop and catch up

Bang on. Shirked some contents and put in some soft efforts.

Other than that he's showed great skill with the ball in hand and good goal sense.

Could be a real weapon with his endurance.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Winger. As saintly said needs to clean up the soft shit though. Half the playing list shirk like he does on occasion and the board would be tearing shreds off them.

Has the skill. Has the size. Appears to have the Desire. Now just needs some fine tuning

Would you say the wood needs polishing?

The wood needs to harden up if it wants brad to insert it

[KangaRooster]

The Turner, Garner, Ziebell, Cunnington (and Anderson hopefully) standard of relishing going in head first at every opportunity needs to be the baseline for our entire side.
Players like Mason who have skill in spades need to adopt this mindset if we are going to be the contested side that teams fear come September.
It's a choice, and one I hope he and the others make - he has the size to do some real damage if he applies himself.

What about his work rate?
