Talk speaks for itself in draft

A POOR attitude may see potential draftees plummet in draft calculations, but players of exceptional character can rocket upwards.

Take Geelong Falcon Mason Wood for example.

Falcons regional manager Michael Turner believed that Wood, 19, (right) was no more than a middle-of-the-road draft candidate at the start of the season.

A stellar year on the field for the Falcons and Vic Country has undoubtedly helped the 189cm forward, but Turner said Wood's off-field qualities had enhanced his chances of being selected early in Thursday night's draft.

"A kid like Mason Wood was probably going to get drafted at 30-40," Turner said. "But if a kid tests really well and interviews really well, then he'll go up in draft calculations.

"So Mason Wood has probably gone from pick No.40 to around the 20s because he interviews really well.


"After the draft combine, they sort of fine-tune it a bit, the AFL clubs, and things can change pretty dramatically."
