Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[Snojet]

If you combine his attitude and cheek with his aggression at the ball, footy smarts and a blonde perm = Dermott Brereton.
Hated Dermott - Love Eddie.

Is soon soon enough though ?

Is soon soon enough though ?

It's better than soonish though. Like the South Africans and their "now, just now and now now"

As a south african i can confirm that giantroo likely means "just now"

Intriguing player Eddie.

I think we all saw enough to know there is real talent there - his speed was the thing that most impressed me.

He is like a small forward with his pace but actually a good marking size as well - he will cause mismatch problems for sure.

However I don't know about him needing to bulk up too much - lose the puppy fat yes - but I would keep him lean and not overly muscular.

He is best 22 for mine for Round 1 - effectively the 7th forward - but he is in there.

 

[king of the road]

Very soon.

How soon is now?

 

[Star]

My understanding is that he will be living in the gym all off-season. Could be anything next year!!!

100%. He and Curtis need to put the footballs down and alternate between the gym and logging Strava runs.

Eddie looked like a 104 gamer not a 4th gamer against the Swans. Excited about what he can do with a body and more game time.

 

[shinboner magic]

Soon.

Announced at the Bnf

 

[Hojuman]

How soon is now?

Sooner than you think.

 

[Sillygit]

We have very different definitions of soon.

 

[Phillyroo]

one of the few guys who I want to see off season training photos/updates from.
put on a bit of size and he'll be a monster in the forward line.

Needs to train with his brother.

Training with his bro…. Watch out for Ed in 2022

 

[Roo Beauty]

His brother’s name is Harrison Ford.

 

[RHLK]

This bloke is a gem, love his attitude and aura, him and CamZ can form a great, strutting, hard-to-match half forward line.

He is a wrestler, Festival Hall style. Has a what'a'gram thingy. G.R. knows it. God knows how he makes a $quid with that in Melb.

 

[Hojuman]

Now l'm just throwing this out there, could the Fordster become our Alir / Moore / McGovern down back ? The new Scooter ?

Tall enough ?

I think he could but he loves being “the man” Toby Greene style up forward. ( less the brain farts) He will be a match winner there.
