Skill weaknesses - Yes.
Fear of contact - No

Name a time when Titch has shirked a contest, or failed to put his head over the pill...?

Your just fabricating deficiencies because you dont rate him as a player.

I disagree

Edwards it too scared of contact, can't put his head over the ball and can't win it either.

Seeing he got his jaw broken in 2012 for going in low to get the ball I dont think you can say he is scared of contact and wont put his head over the ball

I have seen him pull out of plenty of contests, he waits for the ouside ball, thats how he plays.

He only had his jaw broken because he is made of glass, his Mum probably gave him that after the game.

Jacksons a lot tougher..IMO

I will rate him as a player when he actually plays like one.

Edwards squibbed a few contests in his early days but he didn't last season. Far from gutless

Can't agree with you on Edwards courage WAT.  I don't think lack of courage over the ball is his short suit at all.

Its a juvenile arguement, Titch might have his short comings but bravery isnt one of them.

Considering his size and the clearances he wins, questioning his courage is way off the mark. To be built like him and to put himself in the position he does takes a lot of courage, more so that a solidly built player

Courage is certainly not an issue for Edwards.

Skill by foot at pace,
decision making to a leading forward,
strength in the contested tackling situation,
inability to beat an opponent in a genuine 1-on1,
lack of semi-contested overhead marking,
keeping the feet in impact traffic,
getting rag dolled & bumped from position,
gut busting tactical running,
inability to kick goals,
lack of left sided handball skill.

And that's just the surface .....

But does have courage for a SANFL level player.

Edwards has a flaw with his kicking action. He
drop the ball over his foot at a stupid angel.

When it comes off it looks good as the ball moves from right to left in the air but generally he shanks it and the ball slices to the left.
