Welcome Welcome to Adelaide: Charlie Edwards - Pick 21

[Scorpus]

We take tall midfielder Charlie Edwards from Victoria

CHARLIE EDWARDS ​

Age: 18
Height: 191cm
Weight: 85kg
Position: Midfielder
From: Sandringham Dragons / Sandhurst / Melbourne Grammar

A big-bodied midfielder who had an eye-catching season with the Sandringham Dragons in the Coates Talent League.

Edwards started the season in defence but was moved onto the ball mid-year and relished the opportunity with his leg-speed and penetrating kick.

Had 22 disposals and a goal in the Coates Talent League preliminary final, showcasing his versatility also as a forward.

 

[Sir Ronald Mac]

The most underrated player in the draft.

Had him in my top 10

Will win a Brownlow someday.

I'm so horny at the moment.

 

[Golumless]

I'm rather intrigued at this point. Looks a neat player in his highlights.

Pick 21 Adelaide – Charlie Edwards​

Mid-def, Sandringham Dragons, 191cm, 85kg

With Goad off the board, Adelaide has got the height in the midfield it was looking in Sandringham bolter Edwards. The 191cm teenager bolted up draft boards after an eye-catching finish to the year for the Dragons as a midfielder. He has great size, breakway speed and can also be used off half-back.

Misses the 3 year contract by 1 pick?

He's a first rounder still?

 

[DJ75]

Big upside pick. Like it.

 

[ams4crows]

I'm very happy he was "my boy" and I'm so glad he's a Crow!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Like this pick a lot. Bendigo is also good.

 

[StonesThrow]

Moves really well in traffic kind of like Rozee. Not sure about that kick, will have to see more.

Don't mind the pick. Attacking tall mid with decent pace. Good luck to him

 

[50BC]

A running tall mid, finally we drafted one

 

[huludicidal]

In love with this pick, will be a star

 

[Danger in Texas]

Who would’ve thought the speedy tall mid would be getting the least hype out of all our picks

He's my Favourite, and has the potential to be a future Captain of our club!

By those highlights Godden has his work cut out nullifying his talent and game sense

If anyone can take a player's natural abilities and grind them into a timid, confused, defensive paste, it's Godden

May as well have him training with Hombsch now and cut out the middle man

 

[GreyCrow]

His grab out of the middle and afterburners on for a long goal reminded me of Draper at South

Plenty to work with

Second one this draft.

Nankervis will be happy that we recruited Charlie, as he wont have to play in the back pocket anymore and take the kick outs

 

[UcantCme]

He's a first rounder still?

need to be a top 20 pick

Do wonder if we would have taken Goad or Wilson. Wilson has a much higher floor.

Lot of work to do but good upside. Always a risk taking a midfield who hasn't shown great accumulation ability. He is definitely better the De Mattia though.

Averaged 20 touches a game when moved into the middle mid year for Sandy

Small sample size, but the ability to accumulate is there

Do think he has some work to do on his stoppage craft but he has time to develop that, with experience
