IMO Edwards is not going anywhere. We may try to trade him but unless they get something half decent for him, he will be running around again with us next year. They will not delist him this year.
I agree Edwards makes heaps of mistakes but like Nahas he takes the game on. We have so many others that will go before him. He will get another year to show something and i personally think he can still turn it around. Needs to play forward of centre too IMO. Playing him off half back is just ridiculous!
Lets be honest, we have way worse than Edwards on our list.... Farmer, Hislop, Nason, Webberley, Taylor.....the list goes on....
Can't agree BT, He might take the game on...well try to until he gets pulped into the turf on every occasion. He won't turn it around unless he puts on another 100kg and learns how to play AFL.
Edwards problem is not his size. it is what he does when he gets the ball, something he quite capable of doing.
I dont hear people saying some one like eddie bets is too small, yet we never seem to find a match up for these type of players. Their speed and agility contantly leaves opposition players in their wake.
So the question that needs to be asked what is the biggest difference between betts and Edwards?
Size ?
ability to get the ball?
what they do with the ball when they get it ?
one of the greatest players to wear the yellow and black had to move around in the shower to get wet and take extra care not to get washed down the plug hole.
there always has and always will be a role in the game for smaller fleet footed players, they just have to be good enough.
