Edwards cleared of serious damage

March 11, 2016



Richmond small-forward Shane Edwards has been cleared of major damage to his shoulder following his early exit from last night’s NAB Challenge match against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

Edwards left the game in the first quarter after hurting his shoulder, but the injury is not as severe as first thought.

X-rays last night revealed no fractures, and further scans on Friday morning indicate the 27-year-old suffered severe bruising and some nerve swelling to his left shoulder.

“Shane should recover quickly from the bruising, we’ll assess it further early next week, but at this stage we’re confident his preparation for Round 1 won’t be interrupted,” Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson said.

Yeah I already told you it was Eddies assumption (based on Dr Larkins who was at home :lol)

Interestingly, the collar bone that was thought to be broken had been previously broken and still has a pin in it..... :shh

Edwards OK ... great!

Conca - IMO career at Richmond is over.
Grigg - good, taking up Corey Ellis, Connor Menadue and Ben Lennon's spot!

Townsend - will be a handy players and will be OK!

Agree on all points but Townsend needs to temper his approach just a tad.

He's an upgrade on Morris
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Townsend is tough but at times he reminds me of Dan Jackson who everyone would remember how he used to give away careless free kicks which at times were bona fide momentum killers. I understand Townsend's role but as others have also mentioned he needs to tone it down a little and carry out his role more intelligently and not just crash and bash continually. As Dermie said during the commentary last night he has to start getting some easier outside ball along with the inside hardball, you just can't physically maintain the battering ram method he is using at the moment.

x 2

I understand he's hard, tackles well etc., however, i've seen nothing to suggest he's an upgrade on Jackson/ Tuck.

It seems he's been plugged into a role as a reactionary measure to the north EF contested ball debacle. Sure he might have helped with that issue somewhat but I don't see how him playing makes us generally any better.
