correct.
If the opposition don't double team him, he marks, so he's hardly just a decoy. Without him there, the other forwards would have a much harder time finding space.

I like the way he’s tracking, but concerned at the frequency with which they are having to treat him for leg and ankle soreness. Seven feet of bulk getting routinely crunched is a lot of stress to place on joints. I question whether we will have him for more than a few seasons.
I still hope that he may have a break out game in the forward line one day, showing what he showed in the last quarter of Anzac Day across an entire afternoon. That would change our probability of bagging a premiership.

You will see 2 or 3 opposition players gravitating towards Mason. This means other players like WHE will only ever get one player at the most next to him.
The goal that came from a mark by WHE over the pack that included Mason indicated that WHE had a clear run at the ball.
Meanwhile Mason was squashed by the opposition. This is what Mason brings.
A clear run at the ball by the other forwards. it is working big time at the moment. |
Spot on!
Plus, he's getting smarter every game! His little gives and taps are really, really good.

Apparently the tallest player in the AFL to kick 5 goals in a day since Dustin Madden.

He was robbed of a couple of marks as well. Other sides will have to sacrifice a tall to try to stop him which allows Grundy and WHE to take easy marks. If we can some how get Lynch it will be scary, but not for us. l.

| Amazing how much smarter our delivery was today, no more high bombs to a 3 on 1 but put out in front of him! And he destroyed their 2nd ruck as well |
