Mitchell Edwards

Young ruckman who had his 2024 season cruelled by an ongoing back injury which limited him to just a handful of games at VFL level. The Cats patiently managed the 206cm big man for the first half of the season but made the call in late July to pull up stumps. It has allowed the West Australian to manage the injury, and he returned to pre-season training in good shape. Turns 20 during the season and is seen as a genuine long-term ruck prospect.
