Club:    
Kangaroos 
Honours:    
2006 Rookie elevation
2006 AFL Debut

Recruited from Norwood in South Australia, Ed was originally taken as a rookie before being elevated onto the senior list in 2006.

A midfielder who gets important run-with roles, Ed debuted for the Kangaroos in Round 16 of season 2006 and has been regularly pushing for senior selection ever since.

His 2007 form for VFL affiliate North Ballarat was outstanding, culminating in him winning the Best & Fairest and playing nine senior games with the Kangaroos, including two finals.

2008 was another solid year for Lower and he was promoted to the senior team in Round 4 and went on to play the next 10 games. The South Australian was given tagging roles on some of the elite midfielders in the game and performed strongly late in the season for North Ballarat. He was called-up to the senior side and was one of the few shining lights in North’s Elimination Final loss, with two goals.

Most expected Lower to become a regular in the North Melbourne team in 2009, but injury hampered his progression and resulted in him being pushed back to the VFL with North Ballarat. He earned a recall for the final two matches and played a key part in wins over St Kilda and Port Adelaide.

The club will be hoping Ed can continue his great form and become a regular contributor in the future.
