His best season of his career. Stood up when we were ravaged by injury.

10/10 for me.

Perfect season. Mr Fix It did everything that was asked of him, which was more than any player in the team. Played mid, played back, captained the side, whatever. Hands are absolutely magic.

More deserving than anyone of that 2nd medal!

At half time in the GF, David King said Edwards was like Voldemort, no one even knows he’s there! Unbelievable year. Whether it was as a quarterback type role or a midfield one, he was brilliant. A 10 from me too.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Wouldn't have won premiership number 12 without Edwards.

Led superbly when we had injuries - can see as a smoky to replace Cotchin as our captain
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I can't believe that Edwards did not make the All Australian team. What a year.
If he couldn't crack it for a spot in front of the more vanilla midfielders in the team then at least he could've got in for his work on the HBF. Having both McGovern and Hearn on the HB line was ridiculous.
