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

[Psicosis]

Hyperthetical question, he kicks four or five goals first game and follows with another three or four the following week. Do we give him a taste of AFL before he goes back to school?

Hypothetically, yes. Realistically, he's a stick.

 

[DEVO]

He maybe a stick, but a taste of the big leagues could be a huge incentive for next season and give him an idea of what is required during the offseason.

Just a very naughty boy.

NB or Wrongun?

If he exceeds expectations in a run of VFL games, potentially.

I think it's highly unlikely, given his lack of AFL preseason (strength, fitness, game plan education).

Throwing a kid into the deep end that isn't ready, could do more harm then good.

Hypothetically, yes. Realistically, he's a stick.

also to that time line it would mean playing against the dogs or going to Perth. Both of those prospects I think just reiterate the no.

Not even aroused that his front, rear and side thigh views are all identical?

I’ve seen bigger legs at KFC.

I’ve seen bigger legs at KFC.

Well, the customers there aren't known for their healthy lifestyle choices.

Harrison Jones is only listed at 75kgs according to footywire so not out of his range to make it.

He maybe a stick, but a taste of the big leagues could be a huge incentive for next season and give him an idea of what is required during the offseason.

Relatively speaking, the VFL might be a taste of the big leagues for him at this stage. And that’s fine too.

That's a haircut that will fit in will with Larkey and Zurhaar up forward.

I'm not really a knee cap guy either!

On the positive, once leg day becomes a thing for the young fella we should see some rapid growth!

He could, quite literally, be broken like a twig at the top level.

First of many big man!

I genuinely like the character of this kid.

The fact he and Charlie Ham look like they should be starring in a teen stoner movie doesn't hurt does it.

Agree, it takes some gumption to walk up to a young AFL player and be the first to get his autograph.
