As mentioned in the Jacko thread, Edwards isn't as bad as first thought. He's going into tonight for an operation to put in one plate in his face. It came across as Edwards would only miss a week at the most but Jacko didn't give a timeframe.

I'm pretty sure Richo had a similar injury and did not miss a week. Be interesting to see what Titch does
“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.

No. Had 2 plates inserted Monday after playing Brisbane in 2005 then played Friday night against Melbourne (the game Brown broke his leg).

Cheek surgery for Edwards

Richmond midfielder Shane Edwards had surgery last night to repair a depressed cheekbone fracture suffered during Sunday’s match against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium.

Edwards clashed heads with Bulldog opponent Matthew Boyd in the opening minutes of the match, resulting in him leaving the field and being taken to Epworth Hospital.

He will be released from hospital today and will miss this Saturday night’s Dreamtime at the ‘G match against Essendon.

Edwards’ time on the sidelines will be dictated by the speed of his recovery in the coming days.

Lacked agility and zip without him. Looked much more slow minus white/Edwards
