AFL Player #27: Mason Redman 🐕

[Lore]

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

A delisting ahead I reckon

The good news is he will have a lot of company

Really?

Redman is a good footballer. Played reasonably well today.

Really?

Redman is a good footballer. Played reasonably well today.

I think Redman would struggle to get a game in most decent teams in the league.

I think at a decent club he’d be what the sum of his parts suggests he should be.

He has a lot of tools. The fact he isn’t yet all that he could be....right now Im
inclined to believe that reflects more on the club than Redman.

Really?

Redman is a good footballer. Played reasonably well today.

Can we compromise and suggest a trade then?

He is a dogged type without any standout attributes and would at best be the 6th best defender in any decent backline.

He impressed in his breakout year by bringing intensity and playing with a maturity that normally takes a couple of years to achieve. Feels now like that was his ceiling.

We have many bigger things to worry about and I’m sure he will get lots of games this year. I just don’t think the future is bright for Mason.

He's not doing my user name a good service hey.

Next.

thing is a good team would be able to drop a guy like redman into a functioning backline among experienced/decent players who can hold down their role and pick up a bit of his slack while he develops.
we're dropping him in with a bunch of other inexperienced/out of position kids and hoping for the best while our midfield gets steamrolled

What was wrong with that game?

One clear mistake was kicking it into a lunging Dixon who smothered.

Can't really recall another galling error. Got sold a hot potato that resulted in a HTB, a non-issue, and missed a spoil on Dixon (if you could call it a missed spoil).

He seemed to be running on top of the ground for the first time in a long time. Looked sharp, handled the ball cleanly and kicked it well. Looked like the Redman that I fell in love with.

Put Redman at HF where he can run into the middle at bounces. Or start him in the middle!!!
Hard but great kick and mark! And physical.
187cm 86 kg. Big bodied hard but with skill.
There it is!!!

A couple of years ago I was very keen to see how he'd go on a wing, his field kicking looked that good. If reports from yesterday are accurate, he's only just recovering his touch. I'd be loathe to put him in the middle or at HF as an experiment just yet. Let him get some consistency in his form line.

We can't spare him at half back at this point in time.

2020 DOESN'T COUNT, HE'S BACK HE'S GOOD AGAIN

 

[Zach Package]

Well and truly back. Would be concerned if you’ve written him off in this thread, he’ll probably deck you

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Story of his career...

 

[TDay]

Any word on the hammy?

 

[BrunoV]

Well and truly back. Would be concerned if you’ve written him off in this thread, he’ll probably deck you

Looked so good in that first half.

Quick, powerful and kicking bullets again.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Was just coming back to form. Redman and Hine have made losing Saad and Mckenna less of a big deal.

 

[ghostdog]

Hopefully only out for a couple of weeks. Looked like the dude I spruiked for a wing role!*



*needs to stay back for now

 

[Lore]

High-grade overload, will be managed through the week and pass a fitness test before selection

is uncertain to play in the Dons’ Thursday night clash with Sydney after being medically subbed against St Kilda at half-time with hamstring awareness.

Murphy said Redman will be carefully managed this week to give the 23-year-old every chance to prove his fitness.

“Mason had a little bit of hamstring awareness throughout the game,” he said.

“Going into half-time, there was a bit of awareness that it could be a strain, so we just took the precaution to take him early out of the game.

“He’s had an MRI and that’s come back clear. He has some high-grade overload, so we’ll just have to manage him across the week.

“He’ll test his fitness over the next couple of days, but he’s still a chance to be available to play.”

Wtf is high grade overload?

 

[Lore]

Wtf is high grade overload?

I suppose it's like awareness, but worse.

But also better.

 

[Beerfish]

Sounds like..

 

[Duckworth]

With the short turnaround, there would still be doubts of him going up to Sydney. Good news that it is not a major injury.

 

[TheGrizz]

5 day turnaround is a bridge too far surely. Not worth the risk.

Give him the game off vs Sydney and let him have a 13 day break before the Brisbane game if it is an overload

 

[bombadeer]

I googled "high-grade overload" - it's not a thing. Just sayin....

 

[fairbump_playon]

I suppose it's like awareness, but worse.

But also better.

Awareness is a low grade overload of knowledge

A strain is a low grade overload of awareness

A general high grade overload is somewhere in between
