According to Mark Duffield we have ‘significant interest’ in him

From their website, they describe him as a tall defender

Towering young tall Harry Edwards has been asked to tackle some big assignments since debuting in 2020, and the former rookie-listed defender gained valuable experience from his 17 senior level appearances in the 2022 season. Edwards did well to use that experience to his advantage when given the opportunity, further developing the 200cm backman at an accelerated rate. Edwards encountered injury concerns in 2023, including a fractured wrist, which saw him feature just twice in the senior squad last year. The Swan Districts product was named West Coast’s Emerging Talent winner in 2021.

 

With Barass possibly leaving and McGovern nearing the end, if this bloke is any good would they let him go?

Big gan of chasing Edwards. He's a big 197cm full back who's also a good intercept mark as well.

Would certainly be the Steven May replacement. 

I can't find anything though that has us linked to the Dees?

 

I asked my West Coast supporter mate.

Reads the play really well.

Great size. Was drafted at 195cm but has grown to 200.

Plays like his size. Good overhead mark. Often intercept marks due to size and ability to read the play, but is very slow and will get burnt on the lead by opposition forwards.

Consistently injuries have limited has opportunities.

Where was this mentioned ?

We're looking at him and some kid from GWS that hasn't played a game

Young tall backs are something we're monitoring keenly 

From what I’ve seen he’s more of a CHB than a full back.

But the right age for a fresh start.

Probably the Tomlinson replacement rather anything substantial long term. 

Good to see the club plan for long term

But you know a fwd and a mid would be nice too  :-)

That wouldn't be Wade Derksen by any chance would it..?

Ps Welcome to Dland! Feel free to add any worthwhile trade talk 😁

Suspect so, only GWS player that fits the profile of young key back that hasn't played a game.


Sounds like we're going to be very active this off-season.

Just hope we have some picks left over for the draft.

I know for a fact we were monitoring him throughout the 2022 season before he got picked up in the mid season draft.

  • Demonland changed the title to The Harry Edwards Thread

Dees are concerned that we have May (2-3 years left), Tmcd (pending retirement) and Tomlinson (surely he says he wants to go as he’s been given limited opportunities and gets dropped on a whim by Goody).  
 

Adams hasn’t developed and whilst we have to be patient, finding a young 21-22yo defender as backup would be handy in the next few years.  I’d prefer Derksen who can play key forward or back, and might be available for a 4th round pick.

Saying Adams hasn’t developed is a bit harsh. He’s in his second season and is a 20yo key position player. I’ve seen some good signs from him at Casey this year and I think he will continue to improve. Has a great left peg!

But I’m happy we are looking to improve our list for the here and now

Sorry yes need to be patient. I meant we might need someone who can cover for next year 2025 with Tmcd pending retirement and Tomlinson likely to be elsewhere.  Adams imv wouldn’t be ready to cover May in 2025.

Age mentioned again we are into him on the 13th. Looks an ok prospect that has been held back by injury. Wonder if his background might be as a ruck, that would be useful

I saw something yesterday saying he was set to re-sign with the Eagles...

 

I clicked on here thinking he was a kid we might pick with our 1st rounder. Shows how much I watch the Eagles.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
