Shane Edwards [merged]

[Heart of Darkness]

Edwards has undergone the everyone says he's underrated for so long that he actually becomes overrated transformation.

[big tone]

Needs to play permanent forward IMO. He has never been a big numbers gatherer so forget playing him on ball. Put him in the opposite forward pocket to Rioli and let them hunt the crumbs. Something we desperately lack.
Hardwick just try's to complicate everything.

While we are at it, play Jack deep forward and try and ISOLATED him. He will win more one on ones than just about anyone we have.

[TigerMonk]

As one of the quickest players he should be a permanent forward pocket to kick goals.
He is proven to be good around packs in the forward line but the coaches do otherwise. 

[lamington]

Well said bigtone/tigermonk. We scream out for a good crumbing forward and we always had one in edwards and hopefully soon to be rioli. And similarly we scream for a big bodied protector/enforcer like tuck and we have one in vlastuin but instead we recruit townsend and moore.

Classic case of Hardwick trying to reinvent the wheel.

[Andyy]

Bloke has got to an age where we wont get value for money if we trade him out now. Such a shame.

Disagree, he'll be 28 by years end.

He's got another 3-5 years in him at least. If blokes like Goddard and Dal Santo can attract interest and good picks then I think Edwards can - however I note that he's not the same calibre of player.

If we decide to trade him he will attract plenty of attention IMO. However I'd be happy to keep him myself and just play him as a small forward...

Lol are you seriously comparing  or lumping Edwards in to the same class as those two.

To answer your question - no I'm not!

[Stalin]

The tackling thing is fairly annoying ...

[Penelope]

He's a touch/confidence player. The last thing you want with these sort is rotting away in the forweard line while the ball spends most of the time in our defensive half.

The only time he looked like having any impact Friday was when he went on the ball and did what our others couldnt, get his hands on the pill first.

I think unfortunately like the rest of the team have become a bunch of Prima donnas with all the adulation theyve got from the tiger army and reckon they've done their jobs.
So far ahead of themselves it's not funny.
Need a serious boot camp and a few kicks up the Rs

[WA Tiger]

Wonder if he is carrying an injury, looks slow, getting caught a lot, disposal is very average..

At any other club he would have been dropped long ago. Injured or not his a disgrace in the side & pulling the team down with him. Must make way for another fitter player
