Veteran talent evaluator Gary Buckenara released his top 50 draft prospects recently for the Herald Sun, with Luke Edwards coming in 29th.
 
Sounded really impressive this morning on SEN SA having to carry Kane Cornes through an interview.

Any link ?

So that an old fart like me can listen to it on my Crystal Set.

He seems absolutely stoked to get the chance with us, loving the enthusiasm. Also great to read about how many players have been calling him.

Loved the way his dad went about it back in the day. If he has the same work ethic instilled in him, he'll do well.
 
If you go to the Latest tab and click on Podcasts, that's where they keep the radio snippets now:


Thanks DanWCE crystal set linked in beautifully with the podcast.

Love the kids attitude, his enthusiasm and gratitude to West Coast for drafting him was very evident.

Like the pick up, as I posted elsewhere, after the 2019 Championships I had a late second round grade on him and you don't loose talent so very happy to have picked him up with pick 52.

He sounds very driven as well. Not only to prove Adelaide wrong but also to improve his consistency and output after what he sums up as a disappointing 2020.

The fact his old man has done it all before him would really help with his expectations and understanding of what's required and how to make a good impression early.
 

TOA.

Is it just me or do we have no highlights of Edwards other than like 20 second clips of the same checkide goal? The club would have had so much footage cut over his games to show coaches etc and club offers nothing to us. Not even a token 2 min video.

He has 2 other clips, I linked them in the 1st post.

Wow, just looked on the club YouTube page and there is a 50 second clip of Trew, a 19 second snap by Edwards and nothing for Winder.

Way below what you’d expect from an AFL club in 2020.

The club just takes the piss with what they offer supporters

Just by way of simple example, here is what the Hawks did for Brockman like an hour after the draft: https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/video...dal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1607515993001

I dont expect much but 50 seconds of highlights across games like that isnt hard. Hawks managed it on draft night ffs.

Just read that his 20m time was getting to matt priddis levels at 3.25 sec
His sprinting technique looked like it could use a full rebuild. Knees and toes pointing all over the shop. Eagles sports gurus going to need to spend some time sorting that out.

Mitchell was slow AF but his disposal was top notch and always seemed to find space. If Priddis was a good kick we'd have had no issues with him but it was just loopy up and unders.

If it’s any reassurance and for what it’s worth I have seen Edwards play in three entire games and I am happy that he is on our list. 👍

I love watching Yeos from Brissy when we got him. You could see he had sone X factor.
190 cm bloke taking hangers and streaming out of defence. Sounds bad but I reckon if we had an elite midfield Yeo would have been even more of a weapon off half back.
