AFL Draft

Crows pass on nominating son of dual flag hero for draft

The son of club champion Tyson Edwards was told by the Crows on Saturday the club would not submit the paperwork required to have priority access to him in December's draft. 

Edwards was touted as a first-round talent early in the season, but the Crows did not expect to use any of their four selections in the top 23 on him. They hold picks No.1, No.9, No.22, No.23 and No.40 in the first two rounds. 

The decisions means Edwards, who has played as both a midfielder and half-back this season, is available to all clubs without restrictions.
