Edwards, who received the Tigers’ Most Improved Player award at last week’s Jack Dyer Medal presentation night, finished top 10 in 11 of the 12 categories listed below.
He was No. 5 at the Club for kicks (218), No. 5 for handballs (196), No. 4 for total disposals (414), No. 3 for contested possessions (166), No. 7 for uncontested possessions (251), No. 10 for total marks (61), equal No. 9 for goals (7), equal No. 4 for clearances (61), No. 5 for inside-50 entries (54), No. 6 for rebound-50s (39) and No. 3 for tackles (76).
The sole listed-category, where the 21-year-old didn’t make the top 10, was contested marks.
Shane Tuck was the only other Tiger this season to rack up as many top-10 placings (11) in the player stats categories as Edwards. The goals category was the only one ‘Tucky’ didn’t score a top-10 ranking.
Richmond’s 2010 winner of the Cosgrove-Jenkins award for Best First Year Player, Dustin Martin, finished top 10 in 10 of the 12 categories, missing out in only the total marks and contested marks categories.
The teenage dynamo was No. 7 at Tigerland for kicks (210), No. 4 for handballs (215), No. 3 for total disposals (425), No. 2 for contested possessions (179), No. 5 for uncontested possessions (254), equal No. 7 for goals (11), No. 1 for clearances (101), No. 2 for inside-50 entries (74), No. 10 for rebound-50s (21) and No. 4 for tackles (70).
This year’s Jack Dyer Medallist, and Coleman Medal winner, Jack Riewoldt, finished top 10 in six of the 12 categories, which, considering he plays at full-forward, underlines just how good his season was.
Riewoldt, of course, was No. 1 at Punt Road for goals, with 78, which was a massive 63 ahead of his closest ‘rival’ - Andrew Collins, on 15. ‘Jumping Jack’ also was No. 1 for total marks (123), No. 1 for contested marks (54), No. 4 for kicks (219), No. 6 for contested possessions (134) and equal No. 5 for tackles (68).
Brett Deledio, who finished third in the 2010 Jack Dyer Medal, following back-to-back Best and Fairest wins in 2008-09, was ranked No. 1 at the Club in five of the 12 key categories - kicks (302), total disposals (556), uncontested possessions (371), inside-50 entries (76) and rebound-50s (93). He had another five top-10 placings in the 12 listed categories.
Captain Chris Newman, runner-up in this year’s Jack Dyer Medal, finished top 10 in 10 of the 12 categories to further emphasize his excellent consistency throughout the season.
And, despite playing only 14 of the 22 games in the 2010 season, Daniel Jackson managed a top-10 placing in eight of the 12 categories, while Trent Cotchin, who missed five games during the season, chalked up nine top-10 placings.
