Player Watch Charlie Edwards - Signed to End of 2026

[119others]

Hamish said last night that Edwards was very keen to join Adelaide and wanted us to pick him, which is exactly what you want to hear.

I hope he does get the 23 and I can't wait to put his number on the back of my Guernsey

Hasnt it been reserved for indigenous players though? McLeod, Petrenko, CC, Mc Adam

Edwards wouldn't have been aware of that. Personally I would like to see that tradition remain. Perhaps Rankine moves into it even??>.

An Edwards in McLeods number, didn’t see that coming.

A lot of these kids are basketball fans. 23 was Michael Jordan’s number. It’s possible that Charlie knows that Macca wore 23, but also quite likely he doesn’t

These kids would’ve been brought up with LeBron more than MJ to be fair, but the number 23 still applies lol

Welcome to the future

About to be more common place

Rucks are going to be 205-210cm eg Goad 208cm and still growing

Curtin will start in defence but his versatility is a massive weapon and will be used , the difference between him and some others with midfield projection is he’s actually done it at an elite level in big games ( vic metro / SA ) He’s done it well through movement , mobility and game sense more than size too

Not sure he makes a great key defender for big key forwards as he plays more like a hybrid player

A taller Jordan Dawson

Gee..curtin, hinge and worrell are 3 quality intercepters. Leaving keane, murray (when recovered) & butts as the options to take the big key forwards. michalanney and Jones can do the lockdown job and nankervis, milera rebound.

Edwards may also start life across half back or maybe half forward, but hoping within a season he is banking midfield minutes

It’s been reserved for indigenous players since Macca but I’d like it to go to someone who sticks around and has a long and successful career with the club

Don't think we should make any number exclusively indigenous.
We've had many great indigenous players, every player should make their own legacy.

18 - Johncock, Bond and Betts
23 - McLeod, Petrenko, Cameron
30 - Milera

 

[Redleg Crow]

I'd like to see if they did that with Curtin too....

Not having a stack of mates around is the difference.

 

[PeterSalt]

What % of mids are 197cm+, that’s what’s statistically significant. I hope he becomes an elite mid, we need them. Gut feel is that our need results in every high pick we get becomes a future mid, even if they’ve rarely played there.

Connor Nash is about the only 1 I can think of. Also pretty young and raw. Hawks fans seems to love him though.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Now if he can reproduce that kind of clearance at 0.16 in the AFL...

 

[Coopers]

Better than Curtin?

Share them around - Curtin, Edwards, Murphy

 

[Redleg Crow]

Goddamn

I like it.

 

[jenny61_99]

Very excited to get Edwards... he was my pick pre-draft night (thinking we'd miss out on Curtin). Very pleased to get BOTH!

 

[skittlebrew]

Will win a Brownlow someday.

Well, you were right about us getting Curtin when no one else predicted it

So you're sitting at 1/1

Thus I'm going ahead and believing the above comment too

Haggis sure took an interesting alias to post here on big footy

Love the excitement from the young Charlie . Crow for life .

 

[Head Selector]

We now have one of the very best young lists going around and the window is well open for the next 6-8 years for top 4 pushing for flags .
2026 get on us .

If Tex has another year like 2023 then there is no reason we can't contend for flags from next year, I reckon. Assuming the organic growth is consistent across the list, we should be pushing top four.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I'm so excited about this kid!! An avatar change was necessary!!

Yes, all good .....but is he a "Premier Midfielder Of The Future" ? .....that's all that counts

I agree ....

Pedlar
Thilthorpe
Rankine
Rachele
Dawson
Laird
Jones
Soligo
Michalanney
Hinge
Fogarty
Milera

That's an elite list .....and then add Curtin, C.Edwards, Murray, Welsh and Petty .....it's pretty salivating

He'd be wasted playing at FB.

Yes, it's all preparation, coaching, and teamwork from there.

No reason we can’t jump high up the ladder in 2024.

I want Tex to win a flag - let’s get it done.
