Azza says farewell

After a whirlwind couple of days for Aaron Edwards, he has said farewell to North Melbourne and Aegis Park.

"I got back from America on Friday with no talks to any football clubs and on the Tuesday, Richmond gave me a call. I went and had the medical...next thing you know they were saying we're trying to get a trade for you," Edwards told kangaroos.com.au.

Edwards spent six years as a Roo arriving via West Coast and Frankston in the VFL. He signed off with this message:

"Even though I'll be playing for Richmond I'll still have an eye on North Melbourne because I feel like I'm North Melbourne at heart."

Does this mean he'll cry like a baby if we beat the Roos?

i still think we should play him as a marking medium sized player.
one thing for sure hes shown hes better than griffiths astbury elton and mcguane to date. if he has to play with someone like glass on him he will get gobbled up and spat out. better to have a matchup like selwood or hurn where he has an advantage in the air.
we have imo just the 3 genuine mid sized forwards in ohanlon, petterd and aaron. hes the best fit of the 3 atm.

griffiths/elton/astbury as one kpf,  riewoldt the other,  rotate ivan and vickery with a edwards as the medium. add some pace in king play another small  forward s edwards  as well and you have all the bases covered.

The thing is he plays like. Pure full forward.

Don't think he can turn or do much when the ball is on deck

If they want Glass to play on him, Glass will play on him. You don't get a choice who they send to him. It's like saying lets put Jack as a HFF so he doesn't get the best defender

Lock up is gaining in confidence, pulling down some hangers

Takes 3 games to adjust in the change of tempo from VFL to AFL and vice versa. Started to look good towards the end of the game so hopefully something to build off.

Lock up showing something close to something, he came in through the back door, the back door (in the draft)
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”
