Edwards was okay, wont get dropped
C'mon Jack, watch the replay, I thought that recently I had been a bit hard on Edwards so I made sure that I payed particular attention to his game last night. Gee he didn't let me down, other that one goal he kicked his turnovers are amazing. Really this guy is not up to it.
I agree WAT. I was at the game and watched Edwards closely and whilst you can't fault his work rate, his decision making and disposal skills were Unemployable!!!
He directly cost us 3 goals and another 3-4 in momentum with poor tackling and dreadful turnovers. The SCG being a small ground is one place where turnovers kill you in a flash.
So Jack, when you say he wasn't that bad, are you referring to his work rate?? Because that was the only positive I could see in his game last night.
Post was also dreadful. He was very slow in the forward line and has poor hands when the ball hits the ground. the only good point was his second effort which led to a Riewoldt goal.
You definitely see more things live, both good and bad than you do on TV. Cotch look a bit slow last night and was huffing and puffing. He was well down on last weeks effort. Does anyone know if he has a virus or something? or is it just in interrupted preseason??
Therefore
Out: Post, Edwards
In: Astbury, Polak
On the bright side, how good was Martin!! Sure he was a bit inaccurate in front of goal but this kid can seriously kick. It was my first time seeing him live and I was super impressed. He also has really good upper body strength as I saw him shrug off tackles on many occasions.
I was also impressed with Vickery's game. My first time seeing him live too and He has very quick hands for a big lad.
