Player Watch Charlie Edwards - Signed to End of 2026

[bigman]

His improved form in the last month or so has been in part responsible for our improved performances in the SANFL during this time.

He is starting to use his strengths now to greater advantage.

Certainly has, started to show that turn of pace he showed in his CTL games that seemed to have mostly gone missing in his SANFL games. Worth remembering he really only got a decent run in the guts when the Dragons Ryley Sanders, Harvey Johnson etc were called up to the Nationals

Already contracted for 2025 but signed for a further year

Four young Crows sign on

All three of Adelaide's first-round draftees from last year are locked away for the next two seasons

On what he started to show at the back end of the season, I am quite excited to see him progress as he could offer a point of difference to our midfield

 

[GreyCrow]

Imagine signing your 2nd contract without playing an AFL game

Wizard Arry Wizard that is

 

[Danger in Texas]

I thought all first round picks got three year deals, as of last year? Or was that only for top 10 selections

It's for top 20 picks. I believe we originally had pick 17 but because of academy/fs Edwards ended up being taken at 21.

Can't wait to see him playing one quarter in Ballarat at hff next year.

Exciting stuff.

He's a decent talent but fear he will be a long way down the pecking order for some time unless he develops rapidly.

He's a decent talent but fear he will be a long way down the pecking order for some time unless he develops rapidly.

With Laird being permanently dumped out of the midfield late in 2024, Schoenberg playing out the rest of his contract in the SANFL until he’s inevitably delisted in 12 months time, Keays playing as a permanent forward for the rest of his career, Rachele being established as not possessing the attributes to play as an inside mid, Berry being established a tackling specialist at best (who cannot get the ball 25 times or hit targets by foot or run fast enough to play alongside Crouch), Crouch being a dying breed player type at AFL level, plus Dawson looking like he might spend a lot more time roaming around half forward and half back, I think we might see Charlie play 8-10 AFL games in 2025 personally, especially when inevitable injuries are factored in. Could also potentially spend some time at half forward.

Wishful thinking imo.

Crouch, Dawson, Rankine, ANB, Soligo, Curtin, Pick 4, Pedlar, Berry, Dowling, Laird, Milera are more likely than Edwards due to talent or experience which Nicks will pick at every opportunity to save his own backside.

With a good preseason, he should be aiming to play some of next season. Come in as a wingman.

I reckon he plays pretty early on next year.

He'll go past a few guys.

Yeah I think this his progression

Wing next year, wing/mid in 3rd year, mid in 4th year should be the goal

Has the club done any season highlights videos for individual players?
