For those who haven't heard 3aw said Shane Edwards may have suffered a fractured cheekbone.

Any conformation on Titch's injury?

Hopefully it hardens his resolve at the footy.

Dimma after the game confirmed Edwards has a depressed fracture of the cheekbone  :(. May miss 1-2 weeks at best.

So who's going to step up and take his role - elusive, outside play-maker?

For mine I don't believe Nason is the answer - to light and doesn't get enough of the ball for mine.  My choices would be to take Nason out and bring White (if fit) and Webberley. Perhaps it's time to give Connors or Morton another opportunity...then again maybe not  :-\

Nahas was limping noticeably feeling his groin area. Hope it's not anything too serious, might just his schlong belting his upper thigh.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Heard the commentators say it was a corked thigh - not sure what that means in terms of recovery time though

And it was the only hard hit Graham has managed to dish out in his whole career!   :wallywink

elusive playmaker? your taking the pee surely?

He has played 1 descent game among many very poor ones. Let him string together 3 or 4 good games against quality opposition before labelling our illusive playmaker.

Nason too light understimate of the year. 1 player okay but to have as many as we do can only get you so far.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Bad luck for Shane. Was running into some fine form.
We missed his creativity and pressure yesterday.

missed his 3-4 score assists too - may have even got us over the line despite the horrific defensive game we played

That is Edward's role - not necessarily how he always plays. Edwards has been instructed to take on the opposition to break the lines and create space/run. My point was that whoever replaces him will need to fufill this role or replace someone else who is currently in the side who can then undertake the role. Outside runners are easier to replace than inside ball winners - though Tuck isn't a bad option in this case.

Webberley would be the obvious choice but White could come straight back in if he is fit. Nason seems to have the heart of Pharlap and great footskills but is never going to get big enough or have enough tricks up his sleeve for mine to make it.
