Western Bulldogs ruck Alice Edmonds has started AFLW season seven in fine form.

With Celine Moody spending more time forward, Edmonds has assumed the number one ruck role across the opening three rounds and is already registering career-best numbers.

The 24-year-old has provided first use on 89 occasions so far this season – 24 more times than her nine-game total in season six.
