Crows due reach milestones

If there’s a word that best describes Tyson Edwards’ efforts on the ground, week in and week, it would be “value”. The 28-year-old puts in every time the Crows take the field, working tirelessly for more than his share of possessions and bringing his teammates into the game.
Following is debut in round eleven 1995 against Footscray, he has developed into one of the Club’s most consistent players, and this Sunday reaches a well-deserved milestone when he runs out for his 200th match for the Adelaide Football Club.
Edwards has been a reliable, valuable player in a range of roles for the Crows for almost a decade and was an important part of Adelaide’s 1997 and 1998 Grand Final victories.
His ball-getting ability, tenacious spirit and pure skill have made him one of the best players the club has seen and someone opposition coaches always have to factor into the equation when preparing their game plan.
Tyson is due to become the sixth player in the history of the club to reach 200 games since it joined the AFL in 1991, joining Nigel Smart (278 games), Ben Hart (278 games), Mark Bickley (272 games), Mark Ricciuto (265 games) and Andrew McLeod (218 games).
Nobody was more surprised than Jason Torney when the Richmond Football Club told him his services were no longer required just three days after the Tigers 2002 season had wound up.
The dependable half-back has just completed his best season with the Tigers – playing all 22 games (taking his tally to 118) and finishing seventh in the best and fairest voting.
But Richmond’s loss was certainly Adelaide’s gain as Torney returned to his best form against the Power in Showdown XVII and this week he celebrates his 150th game.
Despite a run of injuries during season 2004, Torney slotted comfortably back into Adelaide’s system with a minimum of fuss and maximum efficiency against Port Adelaide and his hard nosed approach to the ball adds some grit to Adelaide’s young backline.
