I think you are getting a bit carried away with your 'FO' posts ::) Are you going to post for every player on the list? .......Back to Edwards...yes I reckon he has filled that missing link on the Forward line and should be in for a good year considering the supply he will continue to get from our 1st rate midfield group.

Admittedly has put in another very good game. Credit where its due, I think Hardwick and Smith and co. have finally got him to understand how to go about the game, its been a long time coming but he is improving based on the last games.

i for one dont rate him.
 but some credit to him his last two weeks have been good, but can he sustain it?  i doubt it.
seen these little patches from him before only to see him revert to normal for big patches. consistency is the key and eliminating the poor decisions and poor disposal.

Seemed to have a bit of a limp up in that final chase at the end of the game.  Slight hammy?

I was waiting for him to shank a kick today and it didn't happen!  He's improving

he is getting games because there is no one else to come back in

The way he played the last 2 games and the back 6 games of a few years ago is the level he should be playing at

Do that and his a regular in the team

he done alot of good things when not having the ball yesterday, now that he has coaches who can bring the best out of him & have lifted him to the required level.

if you dont have someone capable to lift you to the next level, then your talents are lost

The way he moves through traffic sometimes he looks a very natural and gifted footballer. Problem is this good work is usually followed closely by a clanger.

Post by: Darth Tiger on May 31, 2012, 12:13:13 AM
Keep up the good work to increase the trade value for a Boak deal.

Might have Edwards and the GC priority pick to get the deal over the line.

Make sure Eddo plays 100 games.

Post by: Bengal on May 31, 2012, 08:02:26 AM
Keep up the good work Shane, does his job week in, week out and i hope he plays 200+ games for the Tiges.. There's not a lot pof players going around that have his skill in tight situations and there are a plethora of players that have the odd clanger. Including 2 of our best players who did a couple of howlers on the weekend.

1. runnning into the 50 and scrubbed the kick

2. passing straight to a hawks player in the centre square..

Sometimes the clanger can be attributed to the work rate of the player and fatigue causing the clanger.  Edwards has one of the best work rates at the club. i can accept the odd clanger.

That he did, cant see why he was ever put into the backline. clearly a player who is reading the game under Hardwick & Co.
How many other players have we let go under the Frawley / Wallace era who couldnot coach our youngsters & damaged thier careers. No wonder Tambling was damaged. Would have loved to see him coached by Hardwick & Co.

Keep up the good workrate Edwards, done alot of 1% last night that are not stats  :clapping

Regardless of what i think about Edwards, he has played some nice football lately. Dimma deserves full credit for finding a nice spot for him in the f50 and keeping him there. No more half back rubbish for Edwards.

What i also like about his game is he starting to shove it in his opponents faces after they make a mistake or bump another tiger.

Ive seen it a few times the last month and i like that.

I hated watching a player like him play a full game yet hardly touch the ball.
Some saw his effort week after week I wasn't one of those, but no one can dispute he has played his role the last month

I still can't see a role for Nahas, King and Edwards in the F50 but while we are beating scum like Shitkilda WGAF

Ok people, or the Edwards lovers, please take his form into context. Until 3 weeks ago he has pretty well played poo for 4 years, barring perhaps 3/4 of one season. Yes he is paying well and as done for 3 weeks......3 weeks.....

When he does it for 22 weeks or there abouts then IMO he will be a major part of our team. So let's not get too excited, he has a lot to pay the team and supporters back for mine...

To put it in context, until he is no longer expendable to the team structure or there are no other upgrade options.

Boak is an upgrade option, and IMHO worthy of pusuit, and Edwards has some attributes that Port may find attractive to get a deal done with a sweetener required.

I have no doubt that Boak would improve the RFC midfield, and that Edwards current role can be performed by another junior  developing midfielder.

Blinkers are off, perhaps you should take the rose coloured glasses off, no he hasn't been good all year and he was crap last year, he has had 1 good year since being at the club and 3 good games this year...

very good post and sums up how i feel about edwards. this is yr 6 and he is playing at or very close to his best. what happens when he invariably slips back to what he has always given us in the main.

i think hes had a decent 3 weeks but i have no doubt after almost 6 yrs we can and should be aiming for better.  to me 3 games or even a decent finish to the season is no reason to not be looking for better.
 for sure atm hes a better option than nahas and king both forward and thru the middle ive never seen such less skillful smalls as those two.
id give a right arm to have a harper play in the forward line and bring in a highly skilled running mid to replace nahas and edwards.

and he is playing at or very close to his best.

How do you know this
a simple comparison to the best yr he has given us will do the trick.

we have invariably had patches of games where he has performed at around this level give or take but the constant has always been him slipping back into mediocrity.what hes given the last 3 or 4 weeks is no better than anything thats gone before. hes very close to his best.
if he could consistently perform at tthe level of the last 3 weeks he would be a passable player but that not been the case and 6 yrs in is not likely to change.

Sometimes I actually think you are Edwards, or his wife.

Oh this old chestnut again. Think you need some new material.

Just a gentle reminder that Edwards has just inked a fresh 2 year deal so it's not just me who rates him.
So does his coach who's doing great things at Tigerland in case you have been missing it.

But yeah keep hurling abuse if it makes you feel better about your opinions.

I think some are selling him short on last years performances.. He predominantly did run with roles last year and after a fractured cheek in round 8, (he had the job on Griffin that night) albeit for 5 minutes .. He had been in good form before that and it stuffed us up structurally in the 1st qtr in that game when he went off . I'm not sure where some are getting the idea he was playing across half back last year. i dont remember him being there at all.  He did follow his man into the backline but thats about it as far as i remember.  It was always Batch, Houli, Lids, Newman and Conca running off the backline..

Titch the last few weeks has been "freed up" and hasnt had to run with a player.. He is a great runner and its only the last 2 years he's actually put the weight on thats necessary.  As with a lot of indigenous players they dont have hulking bodies and take longer to mature..

Titch has always shown he has something about him, i just think he's a late maturing player, but then he's only 23 so he has another 10 years of footy in front of him.  He'll never be a Cotchin or a Rioli but he is a solid contributor and every team needs them..

Has definitely improved. Better playing up forward. An example of his improvement was when he kicked that goal after Jackson dropped a mark that he should have taken

best form of his career.

Having impact on games, and playing in his best position on the forward line.
