The talented playmaker is averaging an AFL career-high 20.2 disposals per match and is ranked No. 1 in the competition for goal assists and No. 5 for score involvements.

But those ‘stats’ alone don’t do justice to the brilliant passages of play that Edwards has managed to produce on such a regular basis – the lightning quick, pinpoint handpasses, perfectly weighted foot passes, deft tap-ons, plus his capacity to cleverly sidestep opponents, and seemingly have so much time with ball in hand.

Which just goes to show that players often don’t hit their prime until their mid 20’s.

Talls and players who've shown solid form throughout maybe but for players like Edwards it isn't "often", rather than an exception to the rule.... :shh

Probably more a reflection the development and off field improvements. He always showed glimpses of his elite abilities early days, just couldn't find the consistency that he has now. Also, his field kicking was terrible early days.

You sound like a disgruntled Cats fan.

He’s a star, accept it and move on
“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.
