The pacy midfielder won Richmond’s most-improved player award last year in a season where Jack Riewoldt more than doubled his goal tally, but it was a fitting result for Edwards, who doubled his own output after three seasons as a relative fringe player. Sixth in the best and fairest – his best effort by a considerable distance – he was third at the club in tackles and contested possessions, fourth in disposals, equal fourth in clearances and fifth in kicks, handballs and inside 50s.
