Today he lost me, I've been patient and had time for him but thats it for me. Never want to see him in a tiger jumper again

Agree with the first part of your post Tony, but i'd be happy to see him in a tiger jumper again, as long as he has gone back to coburg and earned the privilege to do so...but gee he was poor last night. He got a football lesson from Thomas last night.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Kicking was well below what is required of an afl player. Every time he touched the ball it felt like he let down the team. Must at the very least be dropped. His kicking for goal was atrocious.

Awful awful game. Must be dropped for that effort and ones in the weeks leading up to this. No excuses.

If we can modify our expectations on him based on last year to somehow get back to something close to what he produced last year or alas he might find his head on the chopping block in September/October.

17 important touches with effective disposal of 88% for edwards

matt white, 6 disposals  50% efficiency

think again buddy and watch the game properly

mate anything he produced this week is going to be better than last week but lets see how consistent he is.

he is still a average footballer. White aint much better

edwards improved a fair amount on last weeks abysmal effort, in fairness to white he plays in the front half, where it's not generally expected that they match the midfield count of possies, but hey maybe i got it all wrong ???

Better than last week but he still plays too far off his opponent when he's playing as a tagger.

watched it very closely bud and 17 possesions with  a number of very ordinary possesions  is not good enough for a mid who gets significant game time. when hes not butchering it hes not getting enough of it. these have been two constant criticisms along with his size and crappy defensive game.. hes had one 20 possesion game that was against collingwood and the majority of possesions in that game were school yard standard.
as for your ke% stats you keep em they mean jack poo.

 have to agree on white but the excuse brigade keep on making excuses. i wonder who he had to tag this week some third or fourth stringer i suppose. tagging or not 6 possesions a game in the last two weeks and an average of about 8 a game this yr  is just lousy. and its not down much on when he wasnt getting tagging roles

graham mcguane and rance were bloody awful and vickery continues to struggle to get a touch.ben nason was terrible as well.

ah a win papers over many things.i can see the ferals now we won no changes never mind performance.

Just because a player has a direct opponent doesn't mean his instruction is to tag them out of the game. A tagger is meant to sacrifice his own game to take another player out of it, given Edwards is such an offense based player I don't see that being his instruction.
Doesn't mean he can't be more accountable
