Just play him across half back instead of Daniel. He couldn’t possibly be any worse.
That's his spot..we need another running intercept hback desperately..Daniels unfortunately is never going to work...It maybe to late...he'd of played by now for sure.unfortunately getting little niggles all the time
 
Am hearing that he has a couple of suitors, particularly for a rookie spot/DFA. Will depend on how things fall at the end of the trade/draft period and list spots.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him get another shot as a rookie particularly because this draft is looking pretty weak

He was pretty unlucky this year. Got injured at the wrong time in multiple occasions.

Hope he lands on another list. I think it's the right decision for us to move on from him.

Clearly has AFL attributes, maybe just needs a stronger system
I don’t believe the system is at fault in Eddie’s case. Hopefully a change of scenery might also mean a change in approach to what’s required to be an AFL footballer.

By the looks of it, he put in a pretty good offseason last year. Just couldn't string enough games together this year due to injury. So we really didn't get to see the fruits of those efforts.

He would be a very good DFA/ Rookie selection this year for other clubs. Certainly not hopeless.

Yeah I meant his best shot is probably a stronger club (ie - Geelong, Pies) to try and blend his natural ability to being able to fit into a system.

More likely he drifts away and plays local footy though.
 
So I am hearing that Elvis has left the building….again?

If the rumors are true about Melbourne looking to part ways with Bayley Fritsch, the Ford could be a handy replacement for them. Can take a contested grab which their currently players are lacking the ability to do and also knows how to hit the scoreboard.

at best B grader but we havent really seen anything close to that
In patches we have, but yeah B grade is about his limit.

If the guys we axe aren't offered AFL list/ rookie spots, id love to see the door left open to players like Ford to play in the VFL side with a possible pathway back to a rookie spot.

Seems unlikely, we just dont see it happen for whatever reason.
