Steve Johnson is out, Milburn comes in.

Heard Hardwick say in the pre game interview he wants our mid fielders to get back to hunting the ball, feels they have been too denfensive lately.  :gobdrop

Edwards the sub

SO that means we'll start well, and once he comes on we'll fade badly.

Thought Edwards was better today, only two major eff up's and half a dozen smaller one's. Apart from that he got plenty of ball and even put his body on the line! Trade currency rose by a couple of cents I recon ;D

typical of edwards he takes some nice marks and fails to finish off with his kicking...could have had a couple of goals yet fluffed simple chances...that said, whats happened to our astraight kicking on set shots, suddenly vickers cant kick a goal any more... :o

Doesn't do anywhere enough good things for mine Al.  The mistakes are so bad they are cancerous - demoralising in the highest order.  Up until this year I had been a bit of a fence sitter regarding Edwards but I just can't excuse the errors any more, despite the good things he might do.

yeah, im leaning that way myself. in a better side his stuff ups may have been able to be overlooked for the good, but not with us.

I will also out Post, Gourdis, Nason, O'Reily, Contin.....stuff me the list is too long.......THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT.....I really hope  I am wrong but poo....

All the successful teams do not have the crap in waiting that we do, they have players that when called upon can come into their side and actually cover for injured or suspended players....

We would be better off calling on a 3 legged dog..

If i hear anyone say Edwards has currency i will fair dinkum spew

he should be thrown to Coburg for the rest of the year.

I seriously doubt there is anyone softer on our list and thats saying something

I for one am glad finally people are seeing the light on this spud

 :lol I am a huggable minge

I doubt the club will give Contin 6 years on the rookie list. He's only been here 18 months, had a poor run at it with injury, but despite that would only be 50/50 to go around again next year.

O'Reilly is in the same boat but will definitely be persisted with. His development in his first 12mths playing the game was outrageous.

IMO Edwards is not going anywhere. We may try to trade him but unless they get something half decent for him, he will be running around again with us next year. They will not delist him this year.
I agree Edwards makes heaps of mistakes but like Nahas he takes the game on. We have so many others that will go before him. He will get another year to show something and i personally think he can still turn it around. Needs to play forward of centre too IMO. Playing him off half back is just ridiculous!
Lets be honest, we have way worse than Edwards on our list.... Farmer, Hislop, Nason, Webberley, Taylor.....the list goes on....

Can't agree BT, He might take the game on...well try to until he gets pulped into the turf on every occasion. He won't turn it around unless he puts on another 100kg and learns how to play AFL.

Hahaha. Kills all momentum the side has by either

kicking short and dinky to a target 5 metres away when a handball would suffice
kicks 40 metre scrubbers
runs into goal with little pressure and misses check the GC game two weeks ago in the first minute
Kicks on the bounce to someone under pressure
Handballs to bloke who's hot
Handballs right or left of the teammate momentum lost teammate tackled
Runs himself into trouble by doing the foxtrot and then the waltz and gets tackled
Is usually the link of the chain that breaks when we are streaming forward in a good position.
And what irks me is the finish in many cases falls to either Edwards or Jako at a defining point who miss.
Others miss too  but these guys miss too often especially at critical times when blokes like Dusty Vickery Nahas Jack or Cotch have kicked clutch goals at important times.

Put him up for trade as we did Tuck see who bites. If not then hopefully Dimma makes a call that essentially is haed for the kid but not hard if you want success somewhere down the track.
He's been in the system five years and still makes critical errors. Can't afford that.

Edwards problem is not his size. it is what he does when he gets the ball, something he quite capable of doing.

I dont hear people saying some one like eddie bets is too small, yet we never seem to find a match up for these type of players. Their speed and agility contantly leaves opposition players in their wake.

So the question that needs to be asked what is the biggest difference between betts and Edwards?

Size ?  :nope

ability to get the ball?  :nope

what they do with the ball when they get it ?  :yep

one of the greatest players to wear the yellow and black had to move around in the shower to get wet and take extra care not to get washed down the plug hole.

there always has and always will be a role in the game for smaller fleet footed players, they just have to be good enough.

Betts, Milne etc.. are able to take the hard hits and bounce off them, regroup themselves then kick goals. Edwards gets hit and can't follow up because he is full from eating too much turf!!.
