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.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
