vs. Victoria Metro - Jul 13 2018
... Strong-bodied midfielder Luke Edwards displayed poise at pivotal moments with his controlled use of the ball in the final term before finishing with 19 disposals and five tackles. ...
vs. Vic Country - Jul 10 2018
... Edwards showed his good footballing pedigree with a solid first half display. The potential Adelaide 2020 father-son pick dug in for eight tackles and burst out of congestion well with four clearances. While he was solid in the contested stakes, he could perhaps have been cleaner below his knees, and drifted out of the game somewhat later in the game, despite winning 18 disposals. ...

Congrats to the Jenkins
Backed up his BOG 30-touch effort from the previous week too. He's doing this as an under-ager - at least this is some potentially good news to look forward to in a couple of years time!
Better keep it quiet or the VFL will change the rules again. They’ll change it to 300 games. Oh, no 400 games.

The eligibility of adopted sons is to be decided with discretion on a case by case basis, after there was a bit of a backlash a few years ago when someone from the AFL went on the record to state it was biological only. So far it's never come up.
Just curious, has the delisting of Jackson hurt our chances of getting Luke?
I seem to recall that Mark Williams on 5AA was suggesting Tyson was pretty angry with Jackson and Ben (cousin) being dropped off the list after the one year.
Tyson has a somewhat tested relationship with Adelaide, I wonder if there are thoughts of nominating for the open draft rather than F/S.

The same Mark Williams that claimed Adelaide players were tied naked to trees on the camp?
Yeah, I wouldn't put much faith in his suggestions.

Seems Jackson doesn't hold any grudges though.

I agree Williams carries that sour Port gene that afflicts so many of their ex footballers in the media however Edwards did have a falling out with the club at one stage.
I was wondering if there was some residue ill feeling that could effect the F/S selection.
It seems like Jackson is OK with the delisting.

Question to all: Who was the last F/S eligible kid to decline a club's offer, and chance the open draft?
Marc Murphy???
Obviously clubs have passed over kids, or not matched bids, but don't recall many kids not accepting a club's offer to draft.

And let’s be honest here... no footy club is going to drop you if you have what it takes. After the initial hurt to the ego, I reckon both players would recognise this.
If you have that kind of attitude you wont go far in Footy.....or life in general.
Great to hear he (Jackson Edwards) is actively doing something about his footy dream and wants another crack.

Mark Williams is the Port equivalent of Andrew Jarman.
I think we let Jackson go because we didn't see much improvement in him. He was already very professional with his preparation and fitness. He was already doing stuff that most draftees need to be taught and he had spent his life being taught skills by a 300game AFL player so our skills and development coaches weren't going to do much more, they thought he is probably already getting everything out of himself and unlikely to be able to improve to AFL standard. If he rocked up to the club with higher skinfold numbers, maybe the club would have thought there was more they could get out of him.

It’s interesting to read that with so many top up players it makes it harder for our young recruits. Another advantage for vfl teams. It’s time we left the sanfl imo
