Bio:
Former Essendon and GWS utility Shaun Edwards will join his third club after Sydney secured him with pick 49. Originally from the Northern Territory, the fast-paced Edwards is a versatile player who can play forward and back. He has played 24 games at AFL level since making his debut for the Giants against Adelaide in Round 4, 2012.

What we say:
We saw Shaun late in the year playing for Essendon in the VFL and he was doing some good things there. We caught up with him and had a chat about his footy journey so far and he impressed us with how he wanted to come to Sydney and be part of our culture in terms of the way we have dealt with indigenous players before. He is a good ball user and he runs well. He has been doing some training with a personal training and has been smashing the running so he adds to our running stocks on the outside.
