Past #32: Jacob Edwards - drafted w/ #1 in '20 MSD - delisted end '23 w/ 0 NM games & 0 NM goals

[Frank Thring]

Funny you say that. I was driving past Mentone Grammar and didn't see you or Jacob but thought to myself "oh sruss drove through here and thought to himself about Jacob Edwards".

I also drove past Mentone Grammar and didn't give Edwards, Sruss or KC a second thought.

It's because of this attitude why we've never got to 2nd base.

Metaphorically obviously.

 

[Merlin007]

Had to drive to Aspendale for work this morning and I went past Mentone Grammar. I didn’t see him or anything, but I just thought to myself “oh, Jacob Edwards goes here”.

Funny, I drive past Arden Street sometimes, and I always think - Cameron Joyce used to work here, and there's a strange comfort in knowing that sruss and King Corey feel the same way

Am I right in thinking Edwards is out of contract at the end of the year? If so, can some bottom feeding douchebag (let’s call him Adrian for illustrative purposes) come along and offer Jacob a contract on a senior list at another club? If Jacob wanted to leave would we be forced into a trade?

Marc McGowan put up an article 3 - 4 weeks ago in the Herald Sun saying we are gonna upgrade him to senior list on a 3 year deal

Well that’s good. Can another club come in from the side and make a counter offer in their senior list?

they could probably try but without some kind of bargaining chip like pick 1 in the PSD there's no way to get him without giving us what we want. he's not a free agent he can't just move clubs. frankly it's kind of a ridiculous proposition, by all reports he's enjoying being at the club

The same kid in his post-draft interview that said "I love this club" isn't leaving six months in. Would be an unprecedented level of scumminess.

You'd have to wonder why he would bother to nominate for the MSD in the first place

Not totally unprecedented.

Matters if he’s pissed we cut his hair off

 

[Clarke is King]

Does the club see him as a ruck or key forward long term?

Yep.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Ha, no, he loves it.

 

[Clarke is King]

Yep.

 

[Orange Peanut]

 

[King Corey]

Yep.

Lol. Idiot.

 

[King Corey]

Yep.

And even if.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Yep.

 

[King Corey]

You thinking of buying 25% of Orange Peanut's account?

 

[The Warlord]

He's got that body shape with a long trunk and low centre of gravity that tends work well for big blokes.

Mid Season draft, first 3 picks were all Melbourne clubs and I dare say he was guaranteed we would pick him first, worst case, we dont and Hawks or Pies grab him.

Come draft time this year, there is no way he is going in lets say the top 8 picks, after that he could end up in NSW, QLD, SA or WA.

I would hazard as guess that this is why he bothered to nominate and be guaranteed to stay in his home state around family and friends.

Also guaranteed to get an extra $50k minimum more than he would have got if he had waited until the national draft. If we don't offer him an extension that is $70k. I'd imagine the extension to his first contract was agreed before draft night.

 

[Steamin Beamin]

50k is not bad dough for someone still in school.
