Top bloke. Buzzcut works well for him.

 

[Roos29]

Any chance to play against Adelaide?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Any chance to play against Adelaide?

I very much doubt it.

This bloke, Taz and JZ; all could have got big deals elsewhere. Chose to stay and took long term contracts with North. That's how its done people.

Anyone dilly dallying can **** off.

I know when I've wanted to change jobs, you only ever take more than one step to explore options if you deadset want to leave the place you're at.

You taking a shot at Wells?


Probably been offered and turned down more contracts than Mason has ever seen.

 

[tazaa]

Bloke has given knock on Wood a negative connotation

 

[Horizons_00]

He talks with s**tloads of arrogance and determination

I like it

Arrogance Determination

Arrogance Determination

You're always gonna get these types among professional athletes.

What's important is that he gets on with his teammates and is a teachable player. If he isn't about that then he's probably having a negative impact on the team. Nothing really to suggest that though about Wood.

Yeah, while it's not a particularly endearing quality, if he is going to have an air of arrogance about him he better back it up regularly or he'll be taken down faster than a nude pic on Big Footy.

 

[Roo Beauty]

His arrogance is almost Carey-like.

I love it.

Definitely a player our supporters will come to love if they don't already.

 

[shintemaster]

Arrogance is needed to be a truly great forward.

 

[scooby1279]

I know he has great endurance and could push to play in the middle, he could seriously become similar to Bont.

I reckon he could become an elite goal kicking wingman.

Of that list, in the arrogance stakes i would rate Tredrea a clear no 1

I find it hard to disagree with that.

I'll never forget his over-celebration after he kicked a goal in the 2007 Preliminary when they were about 12 goals up. He was promptly told to pull his head in and then to see the sweet satisfaction of the look on his face the following week!

 

[ViperR1]

Maybe the most exciting player we have on our list coming back for round 1 next year.

Has the strut and confidence of a quality player - which he clearly is.

It's funny also as why I bumped this thread is had a chat with a mate on our dog walk who said "you guys are gone next year, no decent forwards now Petrie is gone".

I said we have "Brown, Waite and Daw, also Mason Wood being a very exciting lead up and hard running fwd".

Response "Mason who?"

Pretty much sums up how we have quality players coming back that no one really knows about.

I find that pretty exciting to be honest, reckon if we stay fit (big if admittedly) we will prove plenty wrong next year

I would've had at least three or four mates telling me Mason Wood was North's best young player and one of the comps most exciting big young stars when he was out of contract.

After he re-signed he promptly went back to being a nobody.

Standard scenario regarding any north player tbh. If we had someone like Bontempelli, Cripps or Zach Merrett in our team then they'd get nowhere near the amount of media hype that they do at their respective clubs.

Joel Selwood would get the LT treatment...

Or it's just that we haven't had any young players anywhere near that quality in a very long time?
