The numbers behind Edwards’ All-Australian selection

By SEN
30 Aug 2018

Terry Wallace has revealed the numbers that highlight why Richmond’s Shane Edwards deserved to make the 2018 All-Australian team.

Edwards’ inclusion in the side surprised many, but according to Wallace, it’s rightful recognition for the 29-year-old.

“He is the second best midfield-forward in the competition in Champion Data’s rankings, behind Patrick Dangerfield,” Wallace told SEN Afternoons.

“He ranks number one in the AFL for score assists, ranks number one for handball metres gained, almost 600 more metres gained by handball than any other player in the competition.

“That’s the way Richmond play.”

Edwards averaged a career-high 19.7 disposals per game this season, while also rating elite at his position in goal assists, score launches, ground ball gets and kicking efficiency.

Edwards was one of four Tigers named in the final All-Australian 22, along with Alex Rance, Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt.

Higgins praises All-Australian teammate Edwards

By SEN
31 Aug 2018

Richmond youngster Jack Higgins says Shane Edwards’ decision making and elite ball use makes him such a valued member of this all-conquering Tigers side.

Edwards won his first All-Australian honour after an excellent career-best season for the reigning premiers, averaging 19.7 disposals, 2.8 clearances, 3.6 inside 50s and 6.4 score involvements per game.

Higgins believes the 29-year-old flies under the radar as he doesn’t have the high-profile as some of his teammates, and that he fully deserved his spot in the end of season team.

SEN Afternoons with Andy Maher can be heard Monday-Friday 12-3pm, and you can subscribe to the podcast here.

“It’s probably because he doesn’t have the name of a Dustin Martin or a Trent Cotchin,” Higgins told SEN Afternoons.

“Coming into the year I knew who Shane Edwards was, but after playing with, he is one of the best players I’ve played with.

“He is so smart with the ball, he uses it so well and just watch his hands - it’s unreal.”

Richmond take on Hawthorn in a mouth-watering Qualifying Final clash next Thursday night at the MCG.

Stand-in skipper Shane Edwards was best on ground with Hardwick describing the performance of last year's All-Australian as "incredible" in the past three rounds as he has moved to half-back as a result of a suggestion from assistant coach Justin Leppitsch.

Edwards had 28 disposals and won 10 contested possessions to control the game off half back.

"He has been outstanding ever since he moved he back there," Hardwick said.

And have big Terry to thank for throwing him back there in 2009 and letting him learn the ropes as a HB flanker.....
