The most prolific goalkicking small forward in the game, who vies with Cyril Rioli for the title of best small forward overall, has enjoyed a career surge since leaving Carlton to return to his native Adelaide at the end of 2013. In three seasons as a Crow, electrifying Eddie has kicked 189 goals, including a career-high 75 last year to finish equal-third in the Coleman Medal and lead Adelaide's goalkicking for a third successive season.
