Luke Edwards Father/Son Discussion

[Crow_68]

Not at all fussed if he doesn’t nominate, a solid player but too vanilla for me.

Takes away any pressure of having to match too early.

Port have been good at this lately. If they want Borlase it wouldn’t surprise to see them trade Wines if he’s happy to go, get Brouch with a band1 offer and wrangle a trade to make us match somewhat uncomfortably. Ultimately I think they get him after his initial contract with us making a tidy profit.

Wines said this week he is staying at Port.

We will get Borlase.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That's from his perspective, which I agree. Port will throw everything at him, money and game time to get him across. Assuming he's tracking well.

How?

Borlase has already said he is happy to be a Crow & we appear keen.

Port don't have the pick currency this year as will need the points to match Jones.

I think Port are basically committed to taking father/son Taj Schofield son of Jarrad as well at some point, probably in the back half of the draft somewhere.
Highly skilled but lacks a bit of size.

They'll go hard at second contract. Nothing is more certain. Bookmark this post.

 

[Ozzie]

He might prefer to get away from the pressure of being "son of" and be a little more anonymous somewhere other than Adelaide.

Hope he goes into the ND and Norf select him. See how he likes that.

Possession is 9 10ths.

 

[1970crow]

Possession is 9 10ths.

bookmark. Port will go very hard between his initial contract and his first extension. He will be a Port player after his initial contract has concluded. I can near guarantee that. To everyone else, he's a footballing commodity. To Port he's a cultural imperative. They will grab him from us just as Hawks grabbed Gunston. This is locked in. It is not subject to change.

Let's hope it's before the work safe SA investigation into the GC camp and also before the ex players suing the club for physiological harm.

Otherwise he might stay

If Borlase signs with the Crows, and is anything more than reasonable, he'll play his career here.

So is the Edwards family worth the investment?

Are we going to be dealing with some drama every contract period?

For a guy who maybe worth a late pick, I question why we are wasting time on this guy.

Or is there actually some talent we can't get elsewhere?

Especially when you consider the carry on with his brother, who was nowhere near it.

Crows aren’t the only club wondering this

Can depend on whether he's getting game time and whether another club can offer that. GWS look like they're about to lose 3 mids drafted at 11, 14 and 22 form the 2018 draft. No doubt there's an element of go home factor there, but opportunity remains a key driver. As of right now, we seem stacked for non-KPD back half players. But not overhead marking types like Doedee, which might be his point of difference.

agree kelly and hartigan therefore need to go
dont know why they put an offer to hartigan UNLESS and I hate to say it, are they entertaining the talia trade?

Yeah, at the moment, it could be a toughish gig to get a game as Kelly is going to get pushed out by McPherson when Doedee is fit. Still, injuries will happen and it'll be up to Borlace to put someone else on the scrap heap when it occurs.

Depend what you call a late pick....IMO he's still in the 30 - 40 pick range with me.
Good size, neat skills, great reader of the play and has the versatility to play both midfield and defence. People forget Luke's been very competitive with the best of his age group right through his junior career representing the state at U16's (All Australian), played well in the U17's future Stars against all the lads being touted as top end picks.

Would like to have seen how he measured up at the National Championships against the best of the best talent given Tony Bamford stated in pre-season discussions Luke would be spending significant time in the midfield. in 2019 he was one of SA's better players at the National Championships as an under-ager playing mainly across half back. I doubt given our 20% father/son discount if both parties are happy to nominate him we are likely to get a player of his ability with the pick...probably costs the equivalent of a 3rd round pick.

Luke Edwards

Height: 187.2cm
Weight: 80.7kg
Position: Inside midfielder/half-back

2019 SANFL U18 STATS: 8 games | 22.5 disposals | 4.4 marks | 5.8 tackles | 5.1 clearances | 4.6 inside 50s | 1 goal

2019 U18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS STATS: 4 games | 18.8 disposals | 4.3 marks | 3.3 tackles | 2.75 rebound 50s | 1.5 inside 50s

Strengths: Versatility, contested ball, reading the play, efficiency
Improvements: Explosive speed, contested marking

SCOUTING NOTES:
Under 17 Futures All Star Game
By: Michael Alvaro
The potential Adelaide father-son has composure beyond his years and looks a versatile type. Starting in his usual half-back role, Edwards showed great poise in his disposal coming out of defence and worked hard to impact the play further afield once he had released the ball himself.
His intercept marking game was also sound, reading the ball well in flight to get in the right position on defensive wing. He is the accumulating type in the backline, but looks a different player once thrown into the midfield with his strong hands and frame allowing him to play that inside game.
Open Schools Cup Grand Final vs. PAC
By: Michael Alvaro
Adelaide fans would want to be keeping the potential father-son’s progress on the down-low, but he keeps on showing good signs of form. Edwards’ quick and clean hands in congestion were outstanding, flicking the ball out effectively to his runners and staying strong through the hips under tackling pressure.
He looked at home through the midfield but also chimed in down back with some rebounding kicks and showed good penetration when going long.
2019 Under 18 National Championships vs. Allies
By: Michael Alvaro
One of few bottom-agers in the SA squad but was again impressive in spurts. He found a spot in the back six throughout the carnival, but will become a good midfielder in time with his clean hands and strong frame.
Edwards had a shaky moment early with a pretty bad turnover by foot on defensive wing, but would make amends later in the game with some clean gathers off the deck and improved composure inside defensive 50 as the game wore on.
2019 Under 18 Championships vs. Vic Country
By: Craig Byrnes
The son of former Adelaide champion Tyson, Luke is a potential father-son option for next year, but speculation continues to grow that he may opt to nominate for the open draft.
He again found himself behind the ball on Friday, intercepting, rebounding and often starting dangerous scoring chains. He took an excellent intercept mark in the third term which set up a goal for his team at a vital time.
2019 Under 18 National Championships vs. Vic Metro
By: Sophie Taylor
At 187cm he is a good size which allows him to compete strongly one-on-one against the top-aged boys. With 18 disposals, Edwards had no issues finding the football.
He generally used it well, playing across half-back (at times stationing himself in ‘the hole’ in-front of the key forwards) and also in an inside midfield role. Dribbled home a goal in the third term in an attempt to kickstart SA after half-time.

What happened to Campbell Edwardes and Ethan Baxter? They're two names i haven't seen in any potential draftees chat for this year

 

[Mutineer]

Ethan Baxter (Muttay Bushrangers) is a Richmond NGA I think and like Campbell Edwards probably needed to play this year to assist their draft chances.
Baxter is a bit undersized to play KPD at AFL level unless he's grown some and not invited to to the Vic Draft Combine which is a fair indicator of his draft chances.

Campbell Edwards (Calder Cannons) is KPP size but my recollection is he's played mainly on the outside/wing etc, does have a Combine invite so there is club interest.

How come JUH never ended up making this team?

 

[Mutineer]

How come JUH never ended up making this team?

Clearly because Kaine Baldwin and Logan McDonald had better Championships, also helped they were playing in strong SA and WA teams and Vic Country struggled.
If you saw Jamarra Ugle-Hagan playing as a 16 year old you would probably know why too, he was all arms and legs and nowhere near as well physically developed as some of the lads, Kaine Baldwin in particular was way better developed.

But anyone that saw Ugle=Hagan play as a 16 year old could see he was going to be very special when he grew into his body, luckily I was there to see his 1st game in 2018 in the U18's as a 16 year old at Mars Stadium and even though he didn't get a lot of football he took a couple of hangers and the speed, athleticism and his ability to elevate amazingly were there for everyone to see. His only real weakness is his kicking both set shot and field kicking but I'm sure once he gets in an elite AFL system they'll hone in on that aspect of his game.

I see Jye Synderberry in that side. Has he fallen off a cliff . I don't see his name mentioned anywhere. West Adelaide boy I believe.
Was Lachlan Jones in this tournament. 2 years and he has the body of a man.
