Mason Wood

[perfectionist]

I hope his eye is OK after someone stuck a thumb in it. He had to play with his eye closed for most of the second half. He has had his best year in my opinion - certainly his most consistent. Despite that, I think he can get fitter and stronger. Or should I say, he needs to get fitter and stronger. The game is evolving into a rugby clone with strength being paramount. Some of the players in the Lions Port game have thighs that are bigger than some of our player's bodies.

He’s in this funny space where his second half of the year was quite decent and also mediocre compared to his first half of the year. First 6 weeks pre-injury he was an elite match winning impact player.

There’s something about him that I really like. It’s that competitive thing… he attacks the ball and contest pretty much like it’s life or death every single time. As a result, he’s one of the few that seems as though he could turn the game at any minute.

Am a big fan of Coops and if it were up to me… he’d live with and be near Wood every single day of the off-season. If he just had Mason’s attack, agility and aggression he’d kick 6 goals a week.

Had a very good game today I thought

[Sainternist]

He’s had a terrific season. Should finish top 5 for the Barker Medal.

Also carrying that shoulder injury since about round 5 or 6 . Up until then he was AA level

Absolutely unique situation at the Saints. Our top four best and fairest players will all be absolute bargain basement recruits. Sinclair, Marshall, Wilkie, Wood.

If only we could've matched this group with better drafting a few years ago. These diamonds are how you win premierships. Think of Richmond with Grigg, Nanketvis, Houli, Lambert, etc.

Anyway, thankfully we've rectified our drafting lately. You need that combo of bargains and high value draft picks to win flags. We're on the right track.

Yep sounds like we are about to convert a bunch of former FRDPs for third rounders.... that's pretty poor work.

Poor work and also just sad. You have such high hopes for these guys and it doesn't work out. It sucks.

You forgot Cooper Sharman. Starred today under very difficult circumstances.

Yeah but you don't throw good money after bad. If they aren't part of the team and won't be, get rid of them for whatever price you can get.

Bigger and stronger??

Wood is a beast athlete - had an enormous season
