 For the third straight season Edwards played in a losing elimination final with the club.He was this time the subject of some controversy when no free kick was paid for his tackle on 's Ben Cunnington deep in the Richmond forward line late in the match's fourth quarter.Coach Damien Hardwick called the non-decision "diabolical" while AFL umpiring boss Hayden Kennedy later admitted the call was incorrect and should have been rewarded with a free kick on goal.
