Phew, dont have to burn the joint down now... I wasnt looking forward to it.. especially with the Heidelberg magistrates case comin up... wouldnt have looked too good

 

[Psychic Roo]

He looks like he likes physicsl stuff. Looks for contact. Thats key for next level.

 

[JarOfConfidence]

Apart from the height and strong marking and imposing presence, what impresses most is that he can kick! A beautiful simple action. Someone who can hit a target. Hallelujah.

Mid-Season Draft, 2021: North lands Jacob Edwards

North Melbourne’s eye is firmly on the future, and has bolstered its forward/ruck stocks by selecting highly regarded Sandringham recruit, Jacob Edwards, with pick No.1 in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

The club acquired the 18-year-old on Wednesday night.

Overlooked in last year’s national draft, Edwards has caught the eye of recruiters standing 202cm.

North national recruiting manager, Mark Finnigan, said the club’s plans for Edwards extended far beyond the 2021 season.

“We are really excited to bring Jacob to North and look forward to seeing him develop in the coming years,” Finnigan said.

“He fills a need on our list at 202cm, and gives us flexibility as a key forward or ruckman – both positions he’s excelled at in NAB League and school footy.

“His contested marking has been a strength, he reads the play well and his kicking ability for his size, in general play or for goal, is a real asset.

“Coming from Division 4 in the South Metro Junior Football League (SMJFL) to being the No.1 pick in the mid-season draft is a real credit to him and Jacob should be really proud with what he has achieved in the past 18 months.

“Credit must be given to Mark Wheeler (Talent Lead) for identifying him and inviting him into the program and the work that Jackson Kornberg (Coach) and his coaches have done with him this year and his development.”

He looked genuinely rapt when interviewed by Nat on AFL.com.au. Great to see someone so excited, and best of luck to him.

Go roos.

 

[DEVO]

Has a sense of humour which is good to see.

 

[Luke72]

Watching the interviews he has a touch of the Lachie Hansen’s

 

[leighlee13]

What is the likelihood of him playing this year?

Pre or post thymosin?

Who cares about this year?

 

[giantroo]

 

[El Triggso]

Explicitly told Robbo he’d only nominated/ signed for 6 months... contrary to recent speculation of multi year deals

 

[leighlee13]

Who cares about this year?

I don't know much about him and was just asking a question. Not a very nice response from you TBH.
