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

[gustev]

Not concussed I hope??

 

[tazaa]

Last play he should have called Zurhaar in for the mark
Just reckless throwing himself at the footy that way
Thought he was excellent tonight especially with Brown wayward

 

[Caracas]

If someone told you before the game that Wood and BBB would combine for 1.7 + some OOF action, how would you have reckoned we’d have gone against the Pies?

I would've booked us down for a repeat of GF.

But tonight the difference was whatever happened in between the goals, stayed out there. We didn't disintegrate.

Just a total different mindset. We want to hurt even when we struggle a bit.

We actually need him back. He does wonders for our forward structure

Anyone know whether he is a chance this week?

Good to see him back

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Nearly single handedly kept us in the contest in the first half. Squandered a few chances, but had a real impact.

Get the feeling he is going to go to another level under Shaw.

He has been doing the basics (run, present, chase, tackling) a lot better over the last 6 weeks

 

[Billy Not Really]

Was at his crossroads career-wise questioning whether he was gonna live up to his potential.

I think he's living up to it, playing a consistently good bit of footy more now than he ever has.

 

[SlyCunnington]

Reckon he was a bees dick off ripping that game apart tonight.

His 1st half was the best half of footy hes played IMO. Complete consummate performance.

Was hitting the contest hard and presenting well.
He put in two big shifts on the outer wing - both times scoring a stoppage and then a turnover.

 

[koshari]

I dunno if it’s quite “no Mason, no North” but right now he’s definitely a barometer.

interesting view as i sort of saw him as the opposite last night, looked to be up and about in the 1st when we were getting smashed, then relatively quiet foe the rest of the game.

Has made massive improvements in his pressure and general intensity this year. Tackles to hurt (sometimes) and I love it.

He's had a good year IMO. Previously I reckon he'd go missing for large parts of games and also whole games here and there. He's had a couple of quiet patches this year but has managed to get involved much, much more. For Wood that will be the key IMO, when he's involved and out of his own headspace I think he makes stuff happen. Good game last night, kept us involved before the cavalry arrived for mine.

That’s cos he clearly read my post and was inspired by it. I tend to do that.

Last night was the first time I have seen him be the man to turn things around. In the second quarter recovery he was the man in the forward line. Had a massive impact on the game as a result.

Seems to me he might be making the transition from “talent” to “gun”. At least I hope that’s what I’m seeing.

 

[showusyacunningt]

He's coming. If he gets an uninterrupted run into next year I'm tipping a breakout season.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He's given himself a base. The chasing and defensive stuff is there. Not sure if it came through on the TV, but he had some long chases that led to nothing other than Hawks defender not having an easy way out.

 

[giantroo]

Good bye Mase?

Roo's future uncertain, could be up for end-of-year trade

North goalkicker could be on the trade table

[Coalface]

Hope we keep him, I reckon his potential is worth more than trade value.

 

[nicko74]

The emergence of Zurhaar has probably hastened this if it is to happen. Shame, he is great to watch when he is on ( I know, I know... that's not very often)

 

[King Corey]

Really rate him. Hope the reports are wrong.

Papley?

Swans were in to him hard a few years ago.

Really rate him. Hope the reports are wrong.

I have rated him for three years but he hasn't reached the rating. Hate to see him go, but..............

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Unless this is a straight swap for Papley or a first rounder I really don't like it and let's be honest it won't be for those things.

He's actually become pretty valuable as the second/third target depending on where Larkey is floating about. We don't really have that option otherwise (somebody not injury prone)... perhaps we do have positive word from another forward target if there's anything in this.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Clarkson & Hawthorn would suit him very well.
