Finally putting it together consistently. Just needs to get over his mental demons in front of goal. Constantly misses left, seems like he doesn’t kick through the ball.


I saw him slot through a 50 metre goal from hard on the boundary down at Werribee when I first saw him play (quote):

We just have to allow time for him to become "un"programmed.

No surprise that Mason is thriving now he can play the role he's best suited to - third tall.

A number of times in the last few weeks Brown and Larkey have held down the big defenders in a contest and Mase has taken them mark.

He's not a true KPF and asking him to play as one hurt him and us. But as a third tall he's too much for most third defenders.
 
Good luck tonight Mase. You've shown a fair bit of heart lately, and I've got high hopes the future's going to see you finally cement yourself into the place that fits you in our side. You're a thousand times better player with confidence, so keep going. And a class act on deferring to both Cunners' and Jack's milestones in your pressers. But yours is important too! We'll be cheering you too tonight.

Seems to be a few that couldn’t wait to have a crack. Must have been having withdrawals the last few weeks.


No, a tad harsh MickyI think it's normally those in the super coach brigade that get swept up in an occasional good to solid performance, not those that have continually questioned the value of this bloke to our side.

He's flaky and cannot be trusted. And today was further example of that. 2012 was when we drafted him and he's just played 50 games. Do we want to improve and challenge for a flag or continue on the Brad path and beat up on average sides? with average footballers?

To be fair Bill, I don’t play SuperCoach or follow it.

Wood had a poor one tonight after 3 good ones. Still laid 5 tackles so I’ll give him that. Hopefully he can string another few good uns together.

We’re 5-8. I’m happy to play blokes on capabilities at the moment ahead of scrubbers with no upside.

Wil Walker and Taylor Curtis are two I think that should have their eye on Woods spot.
