I went to school with Kurt. He's a good kid with a decent head on his shoulders. Can run all day and has good pace. Played good off half back with plenty of run. Could also put him on a wing

Coming off an ACL, and Hampton has taken over Edwards' position at GWS. Plus GWS need to trim their list so they get rid of two players for a pick they won't use. Good list management.
I hate to be a negative nancy, but I don't think he'll make it. Happy to be proven wrong.
Or you could say GWS are effectively trading Edwards and Aylett out for Jed Lamb in.
I believe (to the best of my understanding) we got the two players so cheap because:
GWS has to trim list back to the standard 40 spots down from 55 (allowed to the expansion clubs to start up).. so they are pruning any guys they don't feel are likely to be in their best 22.
The list doesn't have to be trimmed this year,the cuts start next year and it only gets reduced by 2 spots a year until 2019.
Aylett is very much a light, outside, running machine. I think he is so cheap a trade because that is his value. Like most wingers who don't win their own footy he has more bad days than good.
Edwards is the one. He oozes class but is lazy. If things click for him he could be a big success.

Hopefully guys like Jobe, BJ and Chappy can fix the laziness.

Hopefully, but it's up to Edwards not to throw his opportunity away.Hopefully guys like Jobe, BJ and Chappy can fix the laziness.
This one didnt cost us pick 2Really hope we havent replaced one injury prone start with another. However welcome to EFC Kurt!
Was he a zone selection or was he one of the Giants 17 year old selections?, same as Dylan Shiel, Jeremy Cameron etczone selection.
is from the riverina area but got a scholarship to do vce in ballarat, and therefore played tac for the rebels

I don't know a great deal about him but his combine tests look awesome and if he was signed as a 17 year old he must have had big wraps on him. GWS were able to sign 12? or so 17 year olds born between JAN and APR of whatever year they were born.Actually yeah you're right, signed as a 17 year old.
Was very highly regarded at that age, just hasn't come on yet

depends on his confidence in his knee, once rehab is done a player shouldn't lose to much pace/acceleration but its whether they can trust it.It's certainly promising but you can't tell with a great deal of accuracy what kind of footballer someone is going to turn into while they're just 17.
Just out of interest, what would be the prognosis long term for his ACL? Dempsey and Winderlich both had knee recos didn't they? They're both still pretty quick across the turf.
