3. Mason Wood
He once, in a moment of merriment at Flemington many years back, boasted he’d soon get a double-page feature written about him in the Herald Sun because his football was tracking toward stardom. He was never short of confidence, Mason. That took a hit when North Melbourne jettisoned him from the list and the Saints, under Brett Ratten, picked him as a rookie ahead of the 2021 draft. He played nine games in 2021 and 19 in 2022, establishing himself as a high forward/wing at his new club. Now 29 — where has it gone so quickly? — and that one-time bursting self-confidence is being matched by performance. In Round 1, he had 20 and kicked two and on Saturday night he had 24, kicked a goal and logged eight score involvements. He’s become the player he always wanted to be, creative and with a big-moment feel about him, and he’s deserved it because of the work he’s put in to save his career
