Amazing what happens when you let a player develop and get to the 50-60 game mark

yes it is Infamy but it doesn't always go the way it has with Edwards.... so far I might add!! By the way, how many years has it taken him to get to that mark too!!

I don't understand what you mean

He's half way through his 4th season and on 60 games. His 50th was in Round 3 against Sydney, which isn't really that long for most AFL players given he'd barely played over 3 seasons.

Well we have had players in our system for 50-60 games and then onto 100+ and they have only been fringe dwellers. As well as that we have had players in the system for 50-60 games and thats it they never progress. So they all don't make it leta just hope Edwards does.

I realise we've had a lot of early picks not go on from showing anything more than promise and yes it's easy to blame the development side of things, except we've had plenty of quality players go on to play 200+ games, so some of the blame also has to lie with the players themselves.

Yep true and good to see Edwards has taken it on himself to hopefully improve even further.

Edwards getting to "50 or 60 games" under his belt has not been the major factor in his improvement. The fact that he is now getting the quality instruction and guidance is.

I think you'll find it's both, especially given his small frame when drafted, he was always going to take time

True Infamy, reality was that he had the talent but never the size or the confidence to consistently make a difference on the field.

Exactly.
The ability was always there IMO but this kid was nearly ruined by Wallet.
He's now progressing beautifully.
