Rate a Tiger's year - 10. Shane Edwards?

[one-eyed]

Next up is Shane Edwards.

Played all 22 games in his fourth season of AFL to take his career tally to 69. 2010 was the first time he cracked the 20+ disposal mark and he did so on 8 occasions including his best effort for the year in R18 vs Adel where he had 28 possessions plus 8 tackles in our win at the M.C.G. Edwards also increased his tackle stats this year including a massive 11 tackles against Port in the wet at Footy Park.

How did we all rate Edwards' year?

[Penelope]

Really surprised me with his ability to constantly find space in traffic and congestion. Is a very elusive player that avoids tackles rather than busts them.

Thought he had little to offer but this year shows he has does have a bit to offer. More than happy that I was wrong about him.

If he can improve even more and become a little more consistent then he will become a very valuable player for RFC.

[Judge Roughneck]

Shows why he was sa number 2 mid in his year behind Gibbs

[Smokey]

Pleased with his improvement.  I was a fence-sitter with Edwards and wasn't convinced of his capacity to make it but he had a good year considering his start point and showed enough to make me believe.

[Chuck17]

Regularly pulling my hair out with Edwards running around in cricles and getting smashed.

Very happy to see him this year impact some games, prove elusive and run.

Looking forward to 2011.

[WA Tiger]

Gave him a 7, totally surprised me, needs to inspire me next year now and get better.

[tony_montana]

gun in the making, a naturally gifted gut runner, expect him to really take the next step next season

[Tigermad20011]

Great year top 5 in the B&F next year.

[wayne]

8 from me.

We'll surprise a few next year.

Edwards and Cotchin with full pre-seasons will be dangerous.

[Chuck17]

Geez WAT that's a huge move for you from a -6 to a +7

[Mr Magic]

7 with a bullet from me.

Rapidly improving, just needs to iron out a few kinks yet.

Has had his critics on these boards but I have always been a fan & look forward to seeing what he can provide in 2011.

[the claw]

just a pass for me 6. while  others rave about his season i see continued weaknesses. hes one i would be prepared to offer up for the right trade.

[camboon]

He just keeps improving, had been consistant this year and  loves the club.

I am not sure what he needs to do but if he has another good year it might just show a few more that they were mistaken.

[WA Tiger]

Geez WAT that's a huge move for you from a -6 to a +7

Have to be honest IMO, hey he had a good year, a good year, I won't be getting carried away with him just yet.

[WilliamPowell]

Most improved player at the Club IMHO

And after our B&F it would appear our coaches agree with me
