Teams

Recruited from the Western Jets with pick 56 in the 2020 National Draft, Eddie Ford arrived at North Melbourne as a dynamic medium forward known for his aerial capacity and infectious on-field energy. While his early career was punctuated by inconsistent selection as he built the necessary tank for senior football, he gradually adapted to the elite level, utilising his strong hands and goal sense to become a dangerous option inside 50. Ford carved out a niche as a high half-forward capable of flying for marks against taller opponents while applying necessary defensive pressure at ground level. Over his first five seasons, he transitioned from a developing prospect with raw potential into a consistent fixture in the Kangaroos' lineup, providing a crucial spark and structural versatility to the club's attacking half during its rebuilding phase.
