◉ WATCH

Edwards returned to play in R8 — a minor positive given the ACL fears flagged mid-R7 — but 34 in a 49-point Geelong blowout is a red flag. When your team wins by 49 and their RUC posts 34, the game time is limited or he's being actively managed. The post-R7 injury concern hasn't gone away; it's been downgraded but not cleared. Hold if you're already exposed, but do not buy — wait for full role confirmation and a clean health update before trusting this one.
