I think Edwards putting on size has been good for his confidence out on the ground.
If he can eradicate his momentum killing acts and kick those important goals he tends to miss from time to time then he'll become a much better player.

Have said it all along, really hopes he makes it........but and I can't say because of my word.. ;)

Not long now. Lets see how he goes when the real games start.

Prepare to unleash the fury!  ;D

His pre season doesn't exactly scream break out year but hes been solid enough

Nope, won't be happy , don't want any Tiger to fail......but don't want anyone in the team that has to be carried or is the cause of losses because of stupid turnovers and very poor disposal......now I am not talking about Edwards either....that goes for all.....

Now let's see who takes my post out of context again..... ;D

Surprised that there hasn't been more discussion of Nathan's excellent game against the Dees on here.

Looks to be back to his best from where I sit and it's absolutely great to see.

discussion only occurs when he has an average game..

solid game = silence

He was better than solid. One of our best IMO but I take your point. It's a shame.

He was backing himself on the weekend which was good to see. His great strength is his ability to break lines. He needs to do this more often. Need to finish off his work by drilling those running goals too.

How bloody quick is he! He took blitzed away from so many stoppages with the footy on the weekend. Even against Carlton I noticed he could gain yards on their little blokes. I can't find the exact video, but there is a good one on youtube with 2011 Tiger highlights that somebody has made, and it has one or two of Foley burning away from a pack and slotting it through the goals from 60. He's actually a really good tackler too and doesn't give away many frees.

Be nice if he could get a kick against a decent side.

Back to his best today. I had him as my B.O.G. - 25 possies (16 contested), 8 tackles, 7 clearances and 6 inside 50s.

He's virtually been like a new recruit for us this year given how much footy he missed and last year was just about getting through without anymore probs with his achilles/ankle. His work in and under at stoppages is huge.

ran himself ragged today, I forgot how fast he could be til this year, he is unbelievable, set JR up with a magnificent kick after tearing through the midfield and dodging tacklers.  Just looks poised where others look under pressure.
