Player Profile
Name: Will Edwards
Nickname: WED
AFL Sydney Club: North Shore Bombers

Position: CHB and Ruck
Favourite activity to do outside of football:
He’s been playing a fair bit of tennis lately and really enjoying that
What is one thing that we don’t know about this Rising Star that they are well known for around the club?
Apart from his nickname, WED, probably that his sister also plays prem div for the Bombers
What role do they play for the club both on and off the field?
Will is a vital part of the Prem Div line up and settled into his role at CHB really well. Will is also more than happy to volunteer around the club running water for other teams or working on the BBQ or in the Canteen.
The night before the game what will they most likely be doing?
The night before a game he’s mostly to have a ‘chill’ night, some YouTube, catch up with some mates and have a good feed.
Not really, although he does have a specific pair of game day undies!
Nomination Details
Reason for nomination this round:
This was an excellent performance from a young player against quality opposition while playing at Centre Half Back and in the Ruck.
Coach quote on Performance:
We couldn’t be more pleased with how Will has progressed this year. He is a very talented key position player who’s taken on more responsibility as the season has gone on and he’s really hitting his straps now. Will is a quality young man and we look forward to seeing where his footy journey takes him – Andrew Rogers
