With the Tigers in the grand final his father travelled from South Australia with Edwards'brother Kym to be at the match and lay eyes on the baby.
"It might be the first time in history that a grandfather has met their granddaughter at an AFL grand final,"Edwards said.
"I was carrying a bit of emotional baggage before the game."
As Edwards was preparing for the game the meeting between grandfather and granddaughter happened with the triple premiership midfielder admitting he was wishing he was in the stands to watch his dad's reaction.
"I couldn't actually spot them when we ran off at half time but I couldn't wait to see them after the grand final,"Edwards said.
"You have your mind occupied during a grand final."
