Welcome to the club!

Will be forward depth initially, but if injuries hit, he does have the talent to make an impact. Best of luck this year Mason.

Unlucky to miss the first game after initially being named but was swapped late with DMac because of the amount of rain that had fallen before the match . Should come back into calculations for round two .

Mason Wood
"Mason played probably 50/50 half-forward and wing. Similar type of roles, but a really good experience to him to get more minutes on the wing.

"He showed some really good signs of running those patterns, got back for us and helped in defensive-50 and then exploited going back the other way at the right time.

"Realistically, that was his first half on the wing for the year, so that will be something that we keep looking at – he’s got the tank, he’s got the size and the skills.

"If we can keep putting him in that situation where he can flip then that’ll be good for him."

Might be a chance for a recall to the seniors for the game against Port if the coaches think the forwardline of three smalls just isn’t working .

“That is probably the best game I have seen Mason play.

“He kicked two goals, and picked up 29 touches, which was impressive.

“He moved well for a tall forward and got a lot of the ball. It’s the best game I’ve seen him play.”

Must be a big chance for a return to the seniors against the Bulldogs .
