Disagree.

Was unaccountable and ineffective.

Pulled out of a contest to spoil in the first quarter - Brisbane mark and goal no.2. Richmond fans livid.

Grubbed a kick into our F50 around 15 min mark, under absolutely no pressure, turnover.

Gave up chasing in the third quarter - Brisbane goal.

Generally didn't contribute other than the occasional link up.

In the bottom 3 players for us tonite.

I must admit i missed the whole first quarter due to Hoddle Street Traffic.

I didnt see any of those things you mentioned so i take your word for it.

I did see a great handball in the middle which resulted in a goal. I just think he is so weak when he goes in for the tackle or at the bottom of the packs.

Provides nothing to our team really. Nothing that a Helbig cant replicate.

yep!

u forgot to add that disgraceful bit of play - centre bounce when  brissie had a run on, he got hands to the ball from the tap and instead of roosting it he held it, held it, held it, tried as usual to get too cute with the handball and tried to thread the flamin needle between 2 brisbane players, bang turnover and brissie goal (from memory at the very least were deep in attack). Horrible decision maker and shanks way too many as has been mentioned

First qtr running into an open goal from 50m with someone chasing him.

Looked to have a shot for goal then changed his mind mid kick and try to pass it and resulted in a grubbed 10m kick heading towards the boundary line. Looked horrible.

Left you going "Well good run by him, but the kick is something you'd never ever see in a top 8 side"
Go Tigers!

He's slowly improving. I think it's obvious the MC are willing to let him try to work on his form in the 1st. As long as he doesn't go backwards or get injured he is probably safe. He was a lot better last year and really showed something and even this year he has demonstrated he knows how to get the ball and reads the play well. It's his ball use that has question marks and he has trouble making a decision . The Edwards of last year was part of our future, he's being given every opportunity to rediscover his best form.

he like nahas and white, just have to learn that one must steady to kick
they always shank kicks when they are at full pace and in speedy gonzalez mode

edwards seems at times to try and kick the ball long but low, thats when he gets in trouble, when he kicks with a bit more elevation he kicks better

these are issues he and dimma will work out but he is becoming a valuable link player and for a kid of his size is standing his grond and winnning many one on ones and marking contests

he is just like richo in the aspect that when he shanks one , he really shanks one and thats what many seem to remember yet forget something brilliant that he did

Showed nothing against Brisbane but they won't drop him. Agree Helbig would be a good replacement for him.
