True but the two-year deal is effectively done. Sheds isn't going anywhere else  :thumbsup.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richmond general manager of football Neil Balme has confirmed that Shane Edwards has re-signed for a further two seasons.

The club veteran is fresh off another premiership and will be sticking around Punt Road going forward.

“That’s been done for ages (a two-year deal),” he told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.

“There were a few other things, the paperwork hadn’t been finished, but he’s very much a Tiger.”

Gee I hope he makes it to 300 games! I will be devastated when this guy calls it a day...

Me too, magnificent footballer, murdered by our coaches early in his career, finally someone saw the light and let him just play his own way.

To be fair he has stopped the shanks now and bulked up a bit to prevent being ragged dolled around

Imagine that, a player that wasn't fully developed and ready to play consistent AFL football at 18!?

Always showed he had the talent from day dot.

I think we've all said something negative regarding Edwards along the journey.

I remember thinking only players this mediocre get to play 150 games at Richmond.

He has proved everyone wrong. Magnificent player. His last five seasons have all been A grade. What a sensational job as captain earlier this year.

God there are some embarrassing posts in this thread.

I went to page 80 and laughed at a WAT comment - something about it being a recruitment disaster.

Unfortunately I didn't have to scroll long before I saw my own idiotic comments.

There were very few who didn't stop believing he would make it

I was certainly not one of them

Its a great time to be proven wrong

I don't remember potting him , always thought he had exception vision and skill
I think we all got it wrong when players were starting off
I wasn't sure about Rance or Jack

His last 75 games have been so much better than his first, it's like 2 different players!    :shh
