I’m not gonna lie, I reckon last year was an outlier year where he was more consistent with his ability to impact games, and now he’s back to the norm
We shouldn’t be hoping he’s close to best 22 if we want to rise up the ladder

Because we had gun midfield depth
Suggest you watch a replay of the final where Cloke was suspended for striking Edwards to get a clue as to why your comparison is crazy!
Here is where he would have sat in our top 10 players this year.
He was born on 9 January 1996, which makes him 27 in my calculations for this year as he was 27 as at 1 January, but he was 28 for most of the season. Will be 29 by round 1 next year.
Most players are on the downhill by 29. Hopefully that won't be the case here. IMO a borderline top 10 player for a non-finals club who will be 29 next season is not a high priority.
If he gets more than a 2 year contract, then this might be yet another case of us paying the salary of a 30+ player not to play AFL, and JR has given us far too many of those.

well however you define it, i classified an A grade mid in that sense, i guess B grade sounds disrespectful, but without the A graders the B graders are exposed, so by the time edwards was a full time mid in 05 and 06 our A grader in mcleod had dropped out of there with his knees, so come the pointy end of the season a couple of A grade mids come along in cousins and judd and they wipe the floor with us or Robert Harvey in a qualifying final. i probably should have said murphy was showing signs he could have been a B grader like Matthew bode or something that and it would have been a safer comment

edwards was part of that depth or are you suggesting we had a team with six A grade mids lol as there were 5 players in front of him at that time, mcleod, roo, johnson, goodwin, bickley
and regarding the preliminary final he got knocked out early not sure what your point is? in those days under ayres it was mcleod or nothing, goodwin and roo chipped in occasionally. sure as hell malthouse wasn't tagging edwards!
Pick 25 on a 29 year old (next season). Dumb move IMO.
I want ANB and believe he will be a good acquisition, helping us jump next year, but where has it been said that we are spending pick 25 on him?

This is an embarrassing result. 25 would be reasonable if we were chasing him, but he has requested to come home. Wtf is this administration doing. Just terrible
A high 2nd round pick for a 29 year old HFF. About what you would expect from J Reid and his incompetent department. The sad thing is alot of supporters will think this this is a good deal and the AFC know this. They know they don't need to go too much effort and play hardball. Regardless of the cost, they just need to bring in a player and the masses will be happy.
Serious case of buyer's remorse with this club. I hate what it has become.

SO…we are taking this pick 25 as gospel?
We should be thanking them given they haven't also offered pick 4 as a sweetener.

This deal was done weeks before is my understanding - who knows what the real reasons behind this are.

Edwards was arguably our best player that year.

not from my recollection and I don't think you could say that about any of his career just by virtue of his lower talent level compared to the mcleod, roo, goodwin etc
