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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
