Edwards has flown under the radar a touch this preseason as far as getting a mention in the media. What are your expectations for Titch this year and what would be a good year for him?

Interrupted pre season due to shoulder probs might hamper his start a little..
However I have high expectations of Eddie for this year and the improvement in his stats in 2010 would back that up.
Reckon he is about to explode. :)
-
2 Things, can this bloke go thru a game without;
a) Losing his feet in vital contects at least once a quarter
b) Getting rag dolled in a genuine 1-on-1 defensive play once a game
-
He's showing continuous improvement year on year, so hopefully he will keep on with that
Averaging over 20 disposals a year would be nice
-
Establish himself as an A-grader or solidify himself as a B-grader
Can't go backwards

Agree. Absolutely can't afford to.
-
Showed a bit in the 2nd half of 09 and had a good year last year. I'll be happy with another good season
-
Anyone know what his efficiency is?
Id guess 55-60% at most.
IMO he still turns the ball over to much (i know he is not alone but he is meant to have the X factor and be a midfielder not one of our backmen).
At very least he needs to keep his current stats but get the bal in hands more. that would make me happy
-
Dunno what his stats are but he sets up a poo load of our attacks from half back. He gives great run and has good vision, IMO.His kicking (decision making as well)has improved since the 2nd half of 09. Personally I didn't think his kicking was bad last season.
-
Hes a pretty clever player, particularly around goal, kicked a cracker last year against the Crows at Gold Coast (I think).
Another year under his belt should hopefully see a even more confident, self assured player.
The off season surgery is the query, so many times a players season is curtailed by an interrupted pre season.

He gets a lot of contested possessions so turnovers will be common. He does have an X factor though, something he can hopefully show a bit more of this year.
Yeah he does need to improve his disposal/decision making when not under immediate pressure, but as you say he's not alone there. There was an improvement pretty much accross the board in this area and again, hopefully, that will continue to improve as the game plan becomes more ingrained in the players,
Edwards pleasantly surprised me last year as I thought he was destined for the scrap heap.
If he continues to improve and become more consistent we will have a player..if not, fingers crossed he will be overtaken in the pecking order by someone who can take us to the next level

Although i like the way he plays I'm the first to admit he isn't one of my favorite players. My son and i have watched him pretty closely and it seems he turns the ball over almost 50% of the time (we even have a chuckle when he strings 2 good disposals together).
He did get better during the golden run last season so maybe he is a confidence player, and if so he might start playing better as the rest of the team does around him.
I hope so anyway as i want the tigers as a whole to succeed, not just one or two personal accolades.
-
Edwards is on the Bronze Membership cards
-
I believe that everyone is entitled to one ridiculous prediction and mine is that Shane Edwards will be this years "Jack Riewoldt". I am certainly not suggesting that young Titch will win the Coleman medal -I just have a feeling he can make the jump from "C" grader to an "A" grade midfielder.
Plus I want more comedic goals like his beauty versus Brisbane
-

Not much ridiculous about that matman. I too think Edwards is going to kill it this year.
-
Average more than 20 possessions a game.
Continuous improvement in foot skill and decision making.
I feel one who has excelled under the tutelage of Hardwick.
Can remember lucidly a game at Geelong in Round 2 2009 and his psychological fear of the contest
and being so easily pushed aside. Seems so long ago.
Also can be freakish also. A little bit of confidence will establish this kid even further and allow him to utilize
his skills to get the best out of himself. Could be an integral part of the side in a Marcus Ashcroft Shaun Hart mould.

hmm we are not far apart normally but imo i reckon we have seen close to his best already.
will have serious competition for a spot on the wing.
-
Needs to back up last year with 22 rounds of the same!!!!!!!!
-
Physically his body is at AFL standard now. Reckon he only touched on what hes capable of in 2010. Hopefully the shoulder surgery hasnt set him back bc hes a whipping boy of a lot of fans and needs to back up his 2010 season
-

We'll see claw.
My sense is there's a fair amount of improvement still to come.
Eddie's a star on the rise IMO and will sneak under the radar of many a team in '11..
-
Should play every game.
-
Needs to eliminate turnovers if he wants to play the wide HB distribution role.
-

there is no way in the word he should be playing across hb.
with the arrival of grigg houli and conca his place in the 22 was up for grabs and thats before his deplorable performance on saturday night.
without even thinking about it newman, deledio, conca, dea, batchelor, orielly, and farmer are all far better options in the backline.
imo he has one spot and he has fierce competion for it on a wing.in fact hes behind conca grigg morton newman houli for that wing, and on a par with nason.
this blokes skills and size mean he will always be a battler. hes had one just passable season and in typical richmond fashion the supporters laud him.
he needs to perform at the very least the same level as he did last yr to warrant keeping him.
as stated earlier in the thread i have my doubts about that happenening. i have a suspicion that we have seen the best of edwards already.
-
Edwards on a par with Nason :lol
One poo game in the pre-season and in typical richmond fashion the supporters hang him
-
You lose a bit of creditability the minute you take the opportunity to slag off other supporters claw. The meaning of you post gets lost. Say what you have to say and let others decide what conclusions to draw from it, and who is and isn't stupid.
-
Should be playing Defensive Forward role in my opinoin.
Is elusive, has ok pace, not a bad shot for goal and has a reasonable defensive side to his game for defensive pressure.
Would be a better pick than Nahas and King isn't long term.
Couldn't kick over a jam tin Saturday Night.
Gets tackled to easily and looks to have tunnel vision. Put up near the sticks he could do some damage and if he gets pinged its not going to cost us a goal on the turn over.
-
A bit more compusure when he has the ball and will play close to all games in 2011.
-
Edwards on a par with Nason :lol

whats it got to do with a nab cup game. i have always questioned him as a player.
like i said some like you see his just passable yr last yr and laud him.
hmm nason v edwards. both need to run they rely heavily on their engines.so both are need a midfield role. both are smalls and both are very light framed. neither is terribly quick neither get enough of the ball neither have a physical presence.
nasons skills are passable and edwards are not. this is offset by the fact edwards finds a bit more of the ball.both are in competition with at least 5 others for a wing spot all of whom you would play before both of them.
my contention is edwards played above himself last yr and he will revert to type. we will see how wrong i am now wont we.

"some like you" what, like Dimma? :lol
"just passable year" :lol
dont try and peg me with groupthink opinions pal, i'll be the first in line to say edwards needs to back it up and my opinions of him aren't based on last year
my contention is it was a long long time ago if ever someone saw the best of claw and if there is a 'type' that reverts to shitheel habits, you're it. we will see how wrong i am now wont we.

just remember sonny there are no prizes for second.
so just what are your opinions on edwards all we have got from you so far are aspersions and silly smiley faces. surely you have something of substance to debate about your boy edwards.

Delist Edwards. Clearly can't play. No room at Tigerland for dudes who finish 6th in the best and fairest.
Edwards out and never back in :gotigers

Hey mate, give you a tip. Knobs like you should stick to eying off your students ( :shh) instead of starting arguments you never finish.
How many sites have you been banned from? Rosy stuffed you off and your trolling when you tried to go back was pathetic. effing amateur. Even Ned got rid of you :lol

No doubt made some poor mistakes the other night. I'll still back him in. 8)

Agree can't afford to go backwards. Needs to improve his disposal efficiency. If he improves disposal efficiency will be become a very good player.

Who said he's my boy?
My opinion on him? Has shown in patches since his very first year he is capable of playing at the level, in a variety of positions, and he solidified that opinion with a very consistent 2010 that saw him finish top 10 in the b&f and play all 22 games. As I have said numerous times, he needs to back that up again this year to be considered a player. He has an elite sidestep, great hands, good vision and doesn't fumble. He rushes his kicks too often or tries to be cute and his short kicking is inconsistent as a result. He is more accurate when he kicks long, a result of getting balanced before kicking and a clearer intent. I see a good B grade midfielder in him, it's up to him if he pushes on or drops back to a C grader and out the door. His progression and work ethic have me backing him in, and NAB 1 did nothing to change my opinion of him.

Agree with most of this GG. Wasn't excited by his NAB Cup game but it's the first hit out for the year and skills are usually a dog's breakfast at this time anyway so it's too early to be passing any worthwhile judgment.
-

because you're my alias :lol
-
Enough of this spud.
Honestly he is a nothing footballer, a skinny Flanker from the Wallett era. His skills are woeful and that effort in the goal square where Blair brushed him aside was disgusting. How a bloke 160 cms push a player like that is beyond me.
I hope Dimma sees what i have seen for the last 3 years and that is Edwards is a VFL player at best.
-
Yeah look IMHO, enough is enough with Edwards, enough with the calls to persist with him, his disposals will get better etc... etc...
Nothing is going to get better with Edwards IMO, nothing really has since he has been with us. His disposals are turnovers and he doesnt know how to use his lighter framed body, he thinks he is 10 foot tall...
Back to Coburg for mine, at least for 2-3 weeks, if after that he doesn't improve then goodbye at the end of the year and spend this year playing somone like Hicks.
-
Is not up to AFL standard, shocking tonight
-
Today he lost me, I've been patient and had time for him but thats it for me. Never want to see him in a tiger jumper again
-
Agree with the first part of your post Tony, but i'd be happy to see him in a tiger jumper again, as long as he has gone back to coburg and earned the privilege to do so...but gee he was poor last night. He got a football lesson from Thomas last night.
-
going back to coburg isnt going to fix his kicking very poor last night.
Its up to it full stop
-
Kicking was well below what is required of an afl player. Every time he touched the ball it felt like he let down the team. Must at the very least be dropped. His kicking for goal was atrocious.
-
Awful awful game. Must be dropped for that effort and ones in the weeks leading up to this. No excuses.
If we can modify our expectations on him based on last year to somehow get back to something close to what he produced last year or alas he might find his head on the chopping block in September/October.

no edwards knockers this week
played a very good game this week, much more poise and better foot skills
-
didnt do a lot at all.

17 important touches with effective disposal of 88% for edwards

think again buddy and watch the game properly

mate anything he produced this week is going to be better than last week but lets see how consistent he is.
he is still a average footballer. White aint much better
-

he usually doesn't watch the game, just the highlights on the news and what is said in the paper :thumbsup
-
edwards improved a fair amount on last weeks abysmal effort, in fairness to white he plays in the front half, where it's not generally expected that they match the midfield count of possies, but hey maybe i got it all wrong ???
-
Better than last week but he still plays too far off his opponent when he's playing as a tagger.

matt white, 6 disposals 50% efficiency
think again buddy and watch the game properly
watched it very closely bud and 17 possesions with a number of very ordinary possesions is not good enough for a mid who gets significant game time. when hes not butchering it hes not getting enough of it. these have been two constant criticisms along with his size and crappy defensive game.. hes had one 20 possesion game that was against collingwood and the majority of possesions in that game were school yard standard.
as for your ke% stats you keep em they mean jack poo.
have to agree on white but the excuse brigade keep on making excuses. i wonder who he had to tag this week some third or fourth stringer i suppose. tagging or not 6 possesions a game in the last two weeks and an average of about 8 a game this yr is just lousy. and its not down much on when he wasnt getting tagging roles
graham mcguane and rance were bloody awful and vickery continues to struggle to get a touch.ben nason was terrible as well.
ah a win papers over many things.i can see the ferals now we won no changes never mind performance.
-

Just because a player has a direct opponent doesn't mean his instruction is to tag them out of the game. A tagger is meant to sacrifice his own game to take another player out of it, given Edwards is such an offense based player I don't see that being his instruction.
Doesn't mean he can't be more accountable

I must admit, I watch the game again this morning and felt Edwards was very good. I don't think Edwards role is to rack up 20+ possessions, with the likes of Foley, Martin, Cotchin, Houli, Grigg, Deledio are all getting 25+ possies, there isn't a lot going around. Edwards role is to provide run and carry and break the lines. I thought he was pretty good at that against the Roos. Not perfect in terms of those roles, but very good none the less. Don't know what you were watching.

watch the game i said, edwards hardly butchered the ball at all and was vital in many passages of play
think u r fos
-
I just watched the game again and Edwards was very good, some very nice work to get the ball out of congestion and into space
Back to his form from last year

Much better this week, that pass to Miller in the 3rd when we switched the play was terrific, last week he would have kicked it to Dimma on the bench ;D
-
Yep much better, but really needs to back it up now.....and that is the 64 million dollar question....can he???
-
Perpetual C grader
-
no concessions on his performance from me, just average and what should be the norm for an afl footballer (lets face it, he hardly tore the game apart) - I waited 4 pathetic weeks before I finally let rip, he needs to be consistently good which I'm pretty certain wont happen
-
I believe Titch Edward is improving, his mistakes come under pressure when he takes on the opposition. I believe he has been told to take on the opposition and will get better at it but will make some mistakes along the way.
He is not the only one that has been instructed to take them on! IMHO we should have been taking these calculated risks years ago. Anyone remember the basketball cr@p we (coached) used to dish up.
He will continue to make mistakes but hopefully our coaching staff can continue to work on his awareness and he might be able to surprise a few of us.
-
A step in the right direction. Hopefully the confidence his coach has shown him pays off and he goes on with it to keep the wolves at bay.
-
started very slowly last year IIRC
-
Without jumping the gun and getting to emotional.
Should be playing 2's. He did some OK link up things I don't know if I'm being too kind or being negative he was OK.
But just does costly things.
How many grubbers has he kicked this year? Grubbers and in shanks/shin kicks. The kicks that go about 15 metres and are no higher than 1m off the ground. Happened again tonight with an attempted shot or something.
I'd rather Helbig than Edwards at the moment.
-
Edwards played well tonight IMHO - ran the game out and was couragous like alot of our smaller players.

Im the first to want him out but on tonights game he wont be going anywhere.
He was serviceable tonight and played his role.
I agree though wont be part of our future.

Disagree.
Was unaccountable and ineffective.
Pulled out of a contest to spoil in the first quarter - Brisbane mark and goal no.2. Richmond fans livid.
Grubbed a kick into our F50 around 15 min mark, under absolutely no pressure, turnover.
Gave up chasing in the third quarter - Brisbane goal.
Generally didn't contribute other than the occasional link up.
In the bottom 3 players for us tonite.

I must admit i missed the whole first quarter due to Hoddle Street Traffic.
I didnt see any of those things you mentioned so i take your word for it.
I did see a great handball in the middle which resulted in a goal. I just think he is so weak when he goes in for the tackle or at the bottom of the packs.
Provides nothing to our team really. Nothing that a Helbig cant replicate.

yep!
u forgot to add that disgraceful bit of play - centre bounce when brissie had a run on, he got hands to the ball from the tap and instead of roosting it he held it, held it, held it, tried as usual to get too cute with the handball and tried to thread the flamin needle between 2 brisbane players, bang turnover and brissie goal (from memory at the very least were deep in attack). Horrible decision maker and shanks way too many as has been mentioned

Generally didn't contribute other than the occasional link up.
In the bottom 3 players for us tonite.
I must admit i missed the whole first quarter due to Hoddle Street Traffic.
I didnt see any of those things you mentioned so i take your word for it.
I did see a great handball in the middle which resulted in a goal. I just think he is so weak when he goes in for the tackle or at the bottom of the packs.
Provides nothing to our team really. Nothing that a Helbig cant replicate.
First qtr running into an open goal from 50m with someone chasing him.
Looked to have a shot for goal then changed his mind mid kick and try to pass it and resulted in a grubbed 10m kick heading towards the boundary line. Looked horrible.
Left you going "Well good run by him, but the kick is something you'd never ever see in a top 8 side"

edwards will keep his spot so suck it up
-
He will probably keep his spot X but bloody hell, what's with all the shanked kicks? ???
-
He's slowly improving. I think it's obvious the MC are willing to let him try to work on his form in the 1st. As long as he doesn't go backwards or get injured he is probably safe. He was a lot better last year and really showed something and even this year he has demonstrated he knows how to get the ball and reads the play well. It's his ball use that has question marks and he has trouble making a decision . The Edwards of last year was part of our future, he's being given every opportunity to rediscover his best form.

he like nahas and white, just have to learn that one must steady to kick
they always shank kicks when they are at full pace and in speedy gonzalez mode
edwards seems at times to try and kick the ball long but low, thats when he gets in trouble, when he kicks with a bit more elevation he kicks better
these are issues he and dimma will work out but he is becoming a valuable link player and for a kid of his size is standing his grond and winnning many one on ones and marking contests
he is just like richo in the aspect that when he shanks one , he really shanks one and thats what many seem to remember yet forget something brilliant that he did
-
Showed nothing against Brisbane but they won't drop him. Agree Helbig would be a good replacement for him.
-
Getting back to his form of last year. :)

yeah just like just Tambling was Dimmas love child who was playing to instructions, that you bored us all with all of 2009/2010

another damn good game by titch , and had a hand in 14 goals(and 7 direct goal assists, highest for the round)
whether u like it or not , titch is of value to this team and its structure
:clapping :clapping :clapping

Very good game by Edwards. No question.
Energetic and creative. :thumbsup

His best game of 2011 yesterday by a long way

Just watching the replay and there were a couple but not many he was very good
-
Was it his best game of the year. Yes
Was he one our best yes.
But 4 wrongs dont make a right. He has played terrible this year in at least 3/4 games, lets not forget that.
Consistency is the key here. I want to see him back it up against the Buldogs and Dons

He's shown pretty good form since the Collingwood game and has got better ever since
Even in the Collingwood game he was doing the right things but his disposal was what let him down
Has been improving each week since and was very good yesterday afternoon
-
I'm pretty sure that Titch had shoulder surgery in the off season which restricted his pre season. He has slowly but steadily improved in the past month. As his confidence has improved, so has his decision making and disposal. His handball in congestion can be elite. His game tends to be risky bur creates scores - we need this creativity to be a top 8 side.
I hope he can keep it going because he gives us plenty when he plays well.
-
I saw a stat somewhere yesterday that Titch had the most goal assists sat nite.
Top work for a bloke I was calling to be dropped 2-3 weeks ago :thumbsup
-
He's going to make some here look pretty foolish by year's end.

I hope so MM but if not I think he may be on the trade table at years end.
One Swallow does not make a Summer.

Disagree. Don't forget he won our most improved last year.
Last two weeks he's had 20 odd possessions and is running back into form.
Keeper.

Only if you like the taste...

This guy never seems to have his thread bumped, Grigg, Houli, Hislop, Vickory, hell just about every player in the team gets their thread bumped so they can be bagged, except for this guy....
HE NEEDS TO GO....he is no good, he will not be a good player, he is not part of our future, don't keep kidding yourselves....he is just a list clogger. Even though Tuck is not the way forward, play players on their merrit, Edwards has no merrit to be playing ahead of Tuck!!
-
took a ripper of a mark yesterday and kicked it straight to the essendon player 5m from him, what a moron
-
Yep has a few years in the system and 80 odd games and should be doing more.

Do you still think so MM.... :thumbsup

correct
My concern has been for a while now that Dimma plays favourites e.g Jackson, Hilsop, Edwards when their form doesnt warrant it.
-
either Edwards is gone this year or Hardwick!

If he is he has to change. Will have pressure put on him by the media in the last year of his contract if things start to turn difficult and we are still getting frequent thrashings.
-
Bump!!
Honestly can someone tell me if this bloke is still contracted and secondly i cant understand why we throw up garbage that no one wants yet people that may have some sort of interest(unlikely) elsewhere like edwards and Jackson have not been mentioned.
If caddy wants to go home and is a good young former top 10 player why wouldnt we consider Edwards and our compo.
I have no idea how good a player he is but there is talent out there like caddy, Gillies, carlisle, Gram yet we persist with spuds.
The Bummers are offering up Dyson FFS and i put Edwards on par with him so why not try something

Richmond interested in Josh Caddy just after i posted it.
Dead horse is it
hahahahaha

So the should be interested in Caddy but if you think Edwards & pick will get Caddy to the RFC then you're dreaming
daniel, you've actually highlighted why we'd need more than Edwards & pick - your comparison of Edwards to Dyson sums it up really don't you think?
Dyson is like our players on the trade table, not rated by anyone therefore clubs are not interested

Dyson is an absolute spud of the highest order, lets get fair dinkum here.
Even Mcguane is a little better, albeit marginally, and IMO a preferred option to GC than Dyson or that other spud Slattery.
IMO Jackson/Mcguane and our compo would get the deal done as would Foley and Mcguane/Edwards.
