Further improvement
WOuld like to see him play a little in the mid field for centre bounce clearances in particular
One thing I reckon he needs to improve is his goal conversion - missed some "gimmes" in 2008
16-20 games for mine
-
I like him as a player.
He should clock up his 50th match this season. I actually couldn't believe he has already played 32 for us.
-
Good little gutsy player, still spewing in that Geebung game where he was having his best game ever IMO before he was made to get acquainted with the turf head on.
Like most of our side being young and developing, would just like to see further improvement on past years. And as WP said his goal kicking, I think he got the jitters in 2008 and didn't look comfortable at all going for goals.
-
I really like young Shane. Far too small last year..... remember when he was milburned?.... but gutsy and can have some real freakish patches. He seems to have bulked up a bit though - at last!
-
one of my favorites, lets hope we are working on his kicking. :thumbsup
-
I too rate shane, is brave, loves a dash and seems to win a decent share of the footy...he would only have averaged 50-60% game time so his possie count is respectable...Needs to imprve some more, i noticed he looks to have strenghtened up which he needed to ...his kicking for goal could improve to, was unnecessarily tardy at times , he'll be right :thumbsup

Mine too.
Love Shane's intensity.
Just needs a bit more polish & muscle and he will be a 200 game player.
He's sneaking under the radar a little & I am looking forward to seeing what he offers in '09. :thumbsup
-
One of my favs he will do the unthinkable at one stage of his career. It may be a imposible goal or unbelievable mark. He is IMO that kind of player. Will get better and better. ;)
-
Another 16+ games in 2009 (barring injury) and to continue the trend of getting more gametime and more of the footy. Pushing into the midfield will help there. Hopefully Edwards is now a little wiser when and where to use to his natural endurance and not waste his energy. I agree with WP that he needs to improve his goalkicking both in conversion and over a longer range.

I nominated him as my favourite player player with my membership. Don't know why but really liked him from the moment we drafted him. Even before I saw him play.
-
Shane was one of those expected to improve this year. What did we all think of his game?
-
Solid. Showed more than last year. Still has a way to go. Will improve as the season progresses. Very happy ATM. Looks like a "keeper".
-
Very impressed with his game, MT had talked him up a bit and I can see why now.
Looks very confident and very good decision making skills in last nights game.
-
Looks to be one genuinely on the up.
Excited by his performance.

The pressure lol ;D

Yeah it was good to see him back up his form in the intraclub. Hopefully Titch can take this form into the real stuff.

dont worry about Shane. :thumbsup

Edwards is Richmond's Supercoach smokey.....
RICHMOND
SHANE EDWARDS
Age: 20
Games: 32
Story so far: Came over from South Australia after being taken at pick 26 in the 2006 draft. He has evolved into a quick and exciting small forward. Most of his 16 matches last season were in that role, including a three-goal effort against Essendon, but he may be headed for another part of the ground.
Club says: “He’s had a really good pre-season and he’s changed up his role a little bit where he’s playing more at half-back. He played as a crumbing forward ... but he’s more likely to hold down a position across half-back. He’s always showed natural ability but probably been in and out of the game. He looks likely to take the next step.” – coach TERRY WALLACE
SuperCoach: Edwards can be selected as a forward or a midfielder for $288,700. Had a solid 2008, but is a moderate SuperCoach performer – averaging 54. Is up $26,000 on last year’s opening quote.
