◉ WATCH

Edwards posted 49 in Geelong's narrow 4-point road loss to Carlton — above his 35 BE in a legitimate contest, and the most encouraging sign since his injury-interrupted run. He is only 5 games in and cash gen is running at $5,257 per round, which is strong for a RUC at $240.8k. The knee that caused ACL fears in R7 has not resurfaced as a concern. Watch one more round for health confirmation before upgrading — the cash gen trajectory justifies patience rather than panic.
