Senior 11. Mitchell Edwards (2023 - )

Yes athletically he moves well enough to do it.

I believe at 206 he is our tallest player, and he looks super quick and athletic for his height

= with Conway who is also 206. Big boys!

Like to see Edwards trialled up forward in the VFL and responsible for the ruck contests in the forward 50. He’s a 3 sec 20m runner with great hands. With a bit more weight and strength he’d be a handful for any defender on him.

I'd be on board for this !

Also said that he's played forward too a bit - so I can see us developing him in that T. De Koning role to pair with him for Conway as the predominant ruck down the track.

See us playing Conway in the 1's a lot this year and allowing Stanley a lot of rests, so Furphy should be 1st ruck and Edwards back up ruck but predominantly forward.

Reckon he and Neale will be a decent pairing this year, IMO.

How do we see him for a few goes next year in support of Conway?
Is he ready, i really liked the look of him as a junior.

I don't expect to see him play until 2026 at the earliest. Bean pole

Ok, fair enough I think Conway will be ready to go for next year with De Koning as backup. Stanley is playing at the moment and played quite well, I predicted he wouldn’t play again in the team so probably not good to listen to my insight on this one.

Yeah Stanley seems to have done a Lazarus here

Nobody has seen him play more than three half-games!
