SF: The superb touch and vision in Edwards' goal assist

Shane Edwards is all class to find an open Jason Castagna in space.

Richo says:

"Like a fine wine, keeps getting better with age. The connector in the team that gets the flow going. Has elite hands and vision. Makes his teammates better, which is always the indication of a top-class player. Made a seamless return to the team in Round 18, winning eight clearances. No surprise the Tigers’ clearance and contested-ball work improved with him back in the line-up. Had nine clearances in the Grand Final. If not for Dusty’s dominance in Richmond’s past three Grand Final triumphs, he could well have a Norm Smith Medal as part of his football CV.”
