The unsung Adelaide hero has 276 games to his name and a 15th AFL season is likely to see him become the fourth Adelaide player [behind Mark Ricciuto, Ben Hart and, by then, Andrew McLeod] to play 300 games for the Crows.
“I haven't put a date or a year on when I finish up. If I’m still enjoying it and playing good footy that's the main thing and I'll put my hand up to go again,” Edwards said.
"Just enjoying the game, that's how you start your career and I still love playing well and winning. When you get older you get the chance to help younger guys too, so I’m definitely still enjoying it.”
Edwards, skipper Simon Goodwin and veterans Nathan Bassett, Brett Burton and Rhett Biglands will all have to negotiate new deals with the club at the end of this season.
Coach Neil Craig said
"It’s fine, we understand the club's view and if you're playing good footy there won't be a problem. I can’t do much about it anyway [if I did have a problem],” he said.
"I don't really need that (motivation of a new deal) to keep playing good footy.
“At that age [over 30] everyone wants to play good footy all the time so you don't necessarily need that, but if you keep playing good footy the odds are in your favour.”
