Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[JGreezy]

3 RS noms!! And on Wednesday we’ll also have the 2023 RS winner!! Definitely one of the positives of 2023

I feel like Goater was working towards one, as well.

 

[Lomas]

We had 4 in 2019

Didn’t want to mention it… Kornes will run with that friend reasons we don’t need a PP

 

[Lomas]

Because Gil gentrified the AFL.

In the 90s and 00s alot of media sooks didn't like that AFL players were sometimes bogans and pushed to change all that. Now the APS schools dominate the sport. How many private school kids from the most elite schools do we have in our side?

Its posh bastards not liking the western suburbs.

Old X boys are only going to go with what/who they know.

We have had a large number of private school captains join our list to be sure.

I was gonna mention that in that but didn't in case I sounded (more) like a Bolshie ( than I usually do.)

 

[Shinboner1]

Our forward line is going to be pretty scary in the next few years.
Lots of x factor players that we can get around.
Hope zurhaar likes playing VFL.

 

[The acurate one]

The smart judges said he should be playing as an undersized KPF.

Much better than other options on the list.
Needs to get much fitter and stronger in the legs. Has all the skills required just got to knuckle down .

I love him on the wing TAO.

He's got that leap to out mark players around his own size, has some toe to burn them off and his foot skills are great with the link up disposal.

Can get forward to kick goals too.

His work up the ground has been beautiful.

 

[King Corey]

Hard not to have this guy as a favourite.

Yes he can, just currently

Curtis Larkey watson ( I never put in undrafted players as a rule)
Zurhaar Ford George

That's a freaking fine fwd line.

Goater and Scott can take the wings

( make room KC is getting on the bus )

That's already basically the role of a modern CHF. Even Nick Larkey gets way up the ground to provide a marking target out of defense.

 

[muttley45]

How many other nominees got it in their 3rd season ? i'm tipping not many, if any at all.

Yes he does but not when it’s a clearance out of the middle.
Which you’d hope we’ll win a few in the next couple of seasons

I’ve noticed numerous times when exiting the backline they’ll go long to larkey/ Goldy even if they have another extra defenders on them.
While fordy is on the other wing with only another pair of players - I’d back him to outmarked most of similar size

 

[chairo]

Where is Chom?

 

[zoomba23]

Where is Chom?

On the bench with an asterisk because the likelihood of his sustaining a long-term injury in his next ten games is sky high. Injury prone is not a label that is shaken off easily

 

[Themanbun]

That's already basically the role of a modern CHF. Even Nick Larkey gets way up the ground to provide a marking target out of defense.

The wing will give him more space to burn them off on the switch if the play is on the opposite wing, and also bring him into the midfield contests if the play is on his wing. Whereas a CHF would position differently.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Eddie on AFL360 now

 

[shinboner magic]

Watched the whole episode of 360 for a couple minutes at the end

 

[muttley45]

Represented himself and the club beautifully, 10/10 from me.

 

[disco_cowboy]

awww little eddie - so adorable. First TV spot and he wore his nice watch, what a champ.

really like this kid - wanna see him make it.

 

[RightWingRoo]

How many other nominees got it in their 3rd season ? i'm tipping not many, if any at all.

There was Seamus Mitchell and Luke Pedlar as well, in their 3rd seasons this year.
Daniel Talia won it in his 3rd season.
But generally only a handful each year
