Kodah Edwards scouting report
Kodah Edwards is the 2026 draft's "heart and soul" prospect. A 183cm South Adelaide product and former state captain, he is a ferocious inside midfielder who "throws himself at everything." Renowned for his elite clearance craft and a proven ability to push forward and kick bags of goals (starting 2026 with a four-goal haul), he is a dual-position threat with "future AFL captain" written all over him. Clean, tough, and exceptionally professional, Edwards is a ready-made leader for any engine room.

More from the scouting notes
Edwards mirrors Parker’s "tough-as-nails" profile; he is a dominant inside midfielder who thrives in the trenches but remains a massive scoreboard threat due to his elite overhead marking and natural goal-kicking instincts for his size.
