[Chairman Zia]

Sneaky chance for a teaser game to close out the season next week? We might need to blood him if we win this week and need to lose next week

dont think so, he still needs 2 years of conditioning and strengthening.

Nothing to be gained by playing a young man who is not physically ready.

Yep, particularly when he's just been signed up for another couple of years.

 

[ferball]

Less than zero.

So you're saying there's a chance dot gif?

Seasoned draft watchers: Now that we’ve seen more of Edward’s and the other draftees, where would we see him sitting in predraft rankings were he available?

I’m not a seasoned draft watcher by any means, but he was rated right along side Mac Andrew prior to the MSD (best KPF/R outside Darcy).

Clayton had him rated in the first round on Twomey’s Road to the Draft Podcast.

Hopefully he becomes our Luke Jackson

Summary

The number 1 mid season rookie draft pick has come to the club with a lot of fanfare. The 202cm ruck/forward has solid contest marking, dynamic movement and a good tank for a kid his size. Even though he was taken number 1 there was no expectation for him to have an immediate impact due to school commitments, covid restrictions and his build. The club had the future in mind with his selection, and as such he has signed a contract extension until the end of 2023. Edwards is a funny and likeable character, but the club has been impressed with professionalism and willingness to learn since he arrived at the club. Edwards showed some glimpses of his potential when he played his first game in the VFL and kicked the sealer. If Edwards had of gone in the national draft it was expected that he would've been a top 15 pick due to his nab league and school footy form. The focus of the pre-season will be to add some bulk, while also working on his tank. I don't expect him to have a huge impact next year, but long term he will end up being the perfect 3rd tall/backup ruckman.

Oh right, yeh that's good.

Well one is a top 20 fancy as said and the other is mentioned in draft threads too.

Not every comment is for you, Osama.

Well young Jacob is impressing those that matter. Is further advanced than we thought. 202cm will be interesting to see his weight in Jan/Feb of 2022.
If Goldie lasts another two seasons, reckon Jacob will take over.

Impressed because the hasn't ridden his bike of a balcony or he's doing extra work?

He is heavier than I thought at 85kg.
I assume he is still doing year 12 at the moment so wont be in full training yet.
Thats good news cheers mate.

There's no doubt Goldy has 2 years left, he is chasing 300 games.

So that should put Edwards in pole position to takeover with support from CCJ.

And having 9 kids, which is good for our future.

I hope there is a mix as I don’t see us picking 9 rucks for either side

Don't be too hasty, we can keep the best one and trade the rest for first rounders. The Goldstein traders may eventually get their wish.

I thought this guy only played school footy this year, but on the North channel on Youtube, i watched a replay of the VFL game v Port Melbourne at Arden st,
North up by about 10 pt's 28 min into the last Q, and who pops up to kick the sealer ? No 32 Jake Edwards.
