Edwards is Richmond's Supercoach smokey.....
RICHMOND
SHANE EDWARDS Age: 20
Games: 32
Story so far: Came over from South Australia after being taken at pick 26 in the 2006 draft. He has evolved into a quick and exciting small forward. Most of his 16 matches last season were in that role, including a three-goal effort against Essendon, but he may be headed for another part of the ground.
Club says: “He’s had a really good pre-season and he’s changed up his role a little bit where he’s playing more at half-back. He played as a crumbing forward ... but he’s more likely to hold down a position across half-back. He’s always showed natural ability but probably been in and out of the game. He looks likely to take the next step.” – coach TERRY WALLACE
SuperCoach: Edwards can be selected as a forward or a midfielder for $288,700. Had a solid 2008, but is a moderate SuperCoach performer – averaging 54. Is up $26,000 on last year’s opening quote.
