Maybe he just needs to do another pre-finals workout with Gazza?

One more for Sheds even as the sub to get to 300 then retire. He will be a legend of the club forever more but sadly now a shadow of his former self. We aren't in a position to carry him in our 22.

So sad watching him at the moment

Probably the case of a player going on 1 season too long

As poor as he is this season, he deserves to be playing in his 300th. Imagine making him sub and potentially not playing a minute in his 300th game.

He should play next week. Can't be the sub because despite being horribly out of form as a 3 time premiership player who's been a gun for our Club he deserves to start next week

IMHO he has earned that

Hopefully he pulls the pin after next week so a kid can come in.

Form says he really should be dropped so drop him.

If Finals become impossible then get him over the line but while finals are a chance we have to give ourselves the best chance we can of making them. Atm that means no Edwards.

Lots of double standards going on here.

I actually agree 100%.

Players like RCD and others look at this and go this club doesn't pick best 22, or most in form. That standard is important. Edwards is a liability, give him a few weeks off. If we lose on of Lions and Port we are prob done and give a game. If not he will come in with an injury somehwre I'm sure. Plus means his 300th can be at the G not an away game in SA. Which I know is his home state but rubbish decision by the club not to calculate it and manage him so its at the G in front of all of us.

Jacks 300 was in Qld and now Edwards in SA. Poor for mine.

At this point we need some sort of celebratory context to the game to get the boys up. Hearts on the floor at present. Maybe he will have a renaissance performance.

Quote from: Steven Wright
I spoke to him [Edwards] two weeks ago about it [300th game]. He said that he had hardly thought about it and wasn’t even sure which week it was. He deserves every accolade he gets. From the very quiet and shy boy from SA to the inspirational Indigeneous leaders he is now. What a star on and off field.

I have absolutely loved Edwards. I remember his first year arguing with my family that he would be a star. I never get these predictions right lol, but will continue to tell the fam how right I was. It's a shame how this year has planned out for him. Bloody hell we better get up for him.
