I remember some bloke telling me Edwards was harder at the footy then Mark Coughlan because he averaged more contested possies than uncontested possessions. Just thought I'd share that with you goats.

Look at Beefcake goooo. Top 10 for centre clearances, go all in.

Interesting post MT. Endwards never sets up around the center bounce - only the wing. He is very much an outside player and this is his expected/alocated role.

What the lists really highlight is our dependence, and perhaps over reliance, on Cotch in the center contests. Makes us very  predictable to the opposition. We need Foley, Martin and perhps even Lids to shoulder some of this responsibility and ensure that our coaches make our stoppage strategies less one dimensional too.

As good as he is, we do not need a Rich scenerio in the midfield going forward.

True but by sweeping off the wing into the centre, if he was the one to receive the kick handball from the inside mids then you'd expect his centre clearance numbers (that is the one getting it out of the centre square) to reflect that and it looks like they do

Edwards' inside work, particularly by hand, is much better that his outside work.

 
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

his outside work isn't very good because he happens to be a poo kick. ;D
