Played particularly well in the last. A few early mistakes and turnovers early cost us though, needs to sort that out.

Overall a very good game. :clapping

Another one that has improved his game over the years despite being under a restrictive coaching regime.

Last night was classic Edwards and why I'll never rate him as highly as others - for the first quarter and a half he, along with Martin & Zaharakis, looked a class above everyone else in attack...but then we got the other Shane....the fumbly, thinks he's Cyril, spend-it-before-he-gets-it, five-touch player that is Shank...even treated us to his classic worm burners....and he can't stick a tackle to save his life, if the AFL kept stats for missed tackles, he surely would be leading the comp...by a considerable margin.....

For someone who is clearly very talented his foot skills are shocking. Also bombs away a lot with the footy. Solid player but overrated internally.

Few years?

You must not go to many games then

For comparison, martin kicked so badly in the 1st q he had negative meters gained

Titch is not perfect yet easy in the best 5-10 players at club

Agree - easily our best expendable player.

How often does he kick that badly? Was still massive in the contests.

TBH I thought when the game was there to be won, he was huge.

Interesting how others look at it.

The real litmus test is next week and other games against good opposition that count. If he is insignificant like he was in the EF then I'd be happy to trade but if he steps up to the plate in significant games for us, I'd rather keep. We've put up with his development for so many years, I'd hate to give him up now for a speculative pick if he has finally turned the corner.

I think he's kicking has improved dramatically. Last night was terrible in regards to how many shanks he did but I feel like he's done well to limit the amount he does it. Prone to a few here and there but hasn't been the merchant he has been in years past

Dusty often has patches of games when his kicking goes to crap
