From the Freo recruiters
Ed is the younger brother of Tom at Collingwood. He only played the two games for Sandringham this year, as he sustained an AC joint sprain in his round 1 game before returning to footy at Melbourne Grammar just in time for Nationals. He tore a tendon in his finger against South Australia, which caused him to miss three months of footy, but he managed to make it back for Sandringham’s semi final. As his testing shows, Ed is an elite athlete. He ran a 2.92 20m sprint at the combine and a 10:12 3km time trial.
What AFL.com says

Impressed at NAB AFL Draft Combine, recording 15.3 in beep test, 2.92 sec in 20m sprint and 24.06 sec in repeat sprint. Brother of Collingwood's Tom.
