"You tend not to think about individual milestones, especially early on in your career, but I am really happy to have made it this far," Edwards said before training on Wednesday.
"It means that you have been in the game for a while, and hopefully we can have a good win this weekend against Sydney."
Edwards, who made his AFL debut in 1995 after having started his senior career with West Adelaide in the SANFL, will be only the sixth player to play 200 games for the Crows - after Nigel Smart and Ben Hart (278), Mark Bickley (272), Mark Ricciuto (266 on Sunday) and Andrew McLeod (219 on Sunday).
The 28-year-old dynamo's consistency is probably best illustrated by his high finishes in Adelaide's club-champion award in the past five seasons - fourth in 2000, seventh in 2001, second in 2002 and 2003 and third last season.
"Early on, I was only worried about getting a game and trying to contribute," he said. "As my career has progressed, I've tried to help out a bit more and take more responsibility and leadership around the club.
"Three hundred games is something I haven't thought about. It would be great to get there, but I am happy to be playing my 200th this weekend.
"For me, it is all about playing competitive finals football. That's where the enjoyment comes from, and when I retire I can look back and reflect a bit more, but currently the real enjoyment comes from playing winning footy."
Edwards said it was difficult for him to single out one highlight of his career.
"Lots of moments stand out," he said. "Your first game is always huge and something you never forget. The two finals series in '97 and '98 were great because of the ultimate success we had. The two preliminary finals were very exciting because of the huge build-up leading up to the grand finals.
"We've had some fantastic players represent this club over the years. I've enjoyed playing alongside them and I'm not fussed what sort of accolades I get. I'm just enjoying my time here.
"I've been lucky with injuries throughout my career and haven't missed too many games. Not having injuries means you are able to complete the pre-season training, which I feel gives you a great kick-start into the season."
