List Mgmt. Luke Edwards 2020 Draft Plan - Crows Need More Edwardses

[GrommoT]

[From Facebook 2017: (L-to-R) Luke, Jackson, Brodie ]

When is the too early "next Edwards son" thread going to start?

Should definitely have a thread dedicated to Luke and his performances in games over 2018 and 2019. Very early days but he's much more highly rated than Jackson.

Let's hope 2 3 years (and counting down) is not enough time for the A(V)FL to change the F-S rules to make it hard for us.

OTOH

... So the bad?
Speaking to the scout, the NGA system will be changed next year, or even dumped. We will not have first access to either Daniel Sladojevic or Anzac Lochowiak in 2019, nor James Borlase in 2020. [Cleric]

Wait till Roo’s mini league team comes on line

 

[Maggsy]

word has always been that he is the 'better of the 3' ... I'm excited by Jackson, (hence why I started the 'Way too early Jackson plan' thread back in 2016) I firmly believe he will be a really, really good player for the crows in time.. And if Luke is the 'better of the 3' Lookout!!

 

[Next Gen Rookie]

We should avoid the 'Port will bid on him to spite us" posts, as it seems Port will have 3 kids eligible in 2019.

Tex Wanganeen, Trent Burgoyne & Jackson Mead.

Any of them any good?

 

[Next Gen Rookie]

Any of them any good?

Mead was named vice captain of the Under 16's State team this year. Luke was in the team too.

Burgoyne played with them in U15's the previous year, but not U16 I don't believe.

Tex doesn't appear to be at a SANFL club.

 

[radiojake]

Peter or Shaun Burgoyne's son?

Wanganeen's kid woukd be eligible for Essendon, yeah?

Peter's.

Yes, also eligible. Tex has been the match day junior mascot at both clubs.

 

[GrommoT]

Exactly this. Guys who have only ever played as a Key position player are actually quite limited in there development, unless they are a Tom Lynch type endurance freak. And even he got traded before realising the true role he could play.

Personally I stopped growing at 15/16, and went from a permanent CHB to a back flanker, but could still run and carry as it is what I had always done and in a similar position. It was at a low level, but still kind of applicable.

Ideally Tyson would ask the club to give him a bit of time developing his ground ball skills in the midfield or intercept marking off of half back. It would improve his all round game and act as a fail safe should he stop growing at ~188-190cm.

How's this as an idea ... if the Edwards family don't hate the idea and Luke wants to develop his professional career as much as possible, what if Luke goes to boarding at a school in Victoria for the next two years so he can get involved in the TAC competition over there?

Make it a Vic country region (so he doesn't get seduced by the Vic Metro bug) and if it's in the Vic Central Highlands, maybe uncle Bicks can keep an eye on him for us . AFC can maybe help with funding as part of their F-S Academy department.

imagine if the SANFL father-son rules weren't so draconian and we had the opportunity to pick up one or two already... namely Gibbs...

From what Bicks was saying, it already looks like he is playing as a mid, so no.need in this case

However yes, I appreciate the TAC development, where players are developed into the best players they can be, rather than stagnating in a solitary role.

Wanganeen's kid would be as likely to play for Essendon as Dangerfield's will be to play for us.

Geebus “ Tex” Wanganeen. Isn’t there some kind of copyright on that name.

I know it's 3 years old but...

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/2014-07-07/wanganeen-celebrates-win-over-power

Wanganeen hinted his son, Tex, now 10-years-old and part of the James Hird Academy, may one day follow his footsteps and don the sash for the Bombers.

“He loves both of the sides and in particular he loves his Bombers.”

Gee what a shame it'd be if he chose the bombers.....

 

[Vooligan]

Also remember Gavin having a few choice words for Paddy Ryder when he defected from Essendon to Port - wasn't happy about it.

 

[LiamPickering]

Correct me if I'm wrong - but Luke Edwards is actually 2020?

 

[Vooligan]

Wanganeen's kid would be as likely to play for Essendon as Dangerfield's will be to play for us.

Why? There's no bad blood between Danger and the Crows. Yes, the supporters still hold a grudge against Danger, but the club did everything it could in helping Danger to his club of choice. Some of Danger's best mates are still at the AFC (Sloane, Lynch and JJ). Danger was even photographed having a laugh next to his old locker in the AFC change rooms during the International Rules series. He spoke highly of us during his Brownlow acceptance speech, and has spoken highly of us on the footy show and in Grand Final week. I think Danger's kid(s) are just as likely to play for either side, just as I think Eddie's sons are just as likely to play for Carlton as they are to play for us.

2019 draft for 2020 Season. Turns 18 in 2019.

Not sure if I'm looking at the right person or dates or I've totally lost my mathematical ability but this says he turns 18 in 2020?

Please avoid making this the Port father/son thread, yuck.

I believe it is the 2020 draft that Luke is eligible for. Looking at Vader's "Father/Son Eligible Kids List" thread, it lists this for the Edwards kids:

Tyson Edwards
Jackson Edwards (2016)
Luke Edwards (2019)
Brodie Edwards (2020)

However, much of this list was done before the AFL changed the qualification dates, hence making Jackson eligible in 2017 insead of 2016, and I believe it will be the same for Luke.

Something I've just noticed - looking at the eligible draft years between the brothers, is there really only a year difference between Brodie and Luke? If so, there is some serious difference in height for only a year apart in age.

Ok then

I was going off an article that had as a 16 Year old this year so that was obviously wrong

Eddie's yes, but Danger's? Not in a million years. Yes he played for us but he *always wanted to play for Geelong* His kids will grow up Geelong supporters in/near Geelong where he will be viewed as royalty. (but tbh, there is little to be gained from arguing over this! Check back in 16 years)
