He was injured and taken off early on in the round 8 clash against the Dogs and subsequently missed round 9 and 10 before returning after the bye against the Swans. Shane had 20+ possessions on five occasions in 2011 with a year high of 25 against the Pies in round 4.

How did we all rate Edwards' year?

*Chucky ducks for cover*

[Smokey]

Gave Shane a 6.  Thought he does a fair bit of unnoticed good work in and around the packs but then completely stuffs up his good work and value to the team with some of the worst disposal mistakes you see on an AFL ground, on an all too consistent basis.  Needs to remove those glaring skill errors from his game if he is ever going to be classed as a good player.

I think that sums him up pretty well smokey.

The thing i have noticed about shane in the last two years is that he seems to be a touch player.

While some players play well when fresh, shane seems to one who needs game time to find form.

Last year his pre season was atrocious as but as the year went on he got better and better.

This year he his pre season was hampered badly by shoulder surgery which meant he was not involved in contact work for much of the pre season and then missed those games from rnd 8.

It took him untill deep in the season before he started to get his inside work going and reduce those shocking disposals.

Needs a good pre season if he stays on the list ( which he probably will) so he can hit the ground running at the start of the year.

Neither shane himself or the club can afford another half season of his worst.

4.

Reason. 5 is a pass mark. And I think he needs to do more. I also believe he can do more.

[Francois Jackson]

2
Bases on 2 games he did okay in. The rest were on par with the worst I've seen

Would trade him back to Adelaide in a heart beat in a direct swap Collins type deal

Agreed and gave the same

His good is very good his average is poor

Overall I thought he'd improve on last year or at least equal it and in too many games he didn't.

Finally think the club needs to make a call on what h's best position is a a keep him there

Agree with comments "Thought he does a fair bit of unnoticed good work in and around the packs but then completely stuffs up his good work and value to the team with some of the worst disposal mistakes you see on an AFL ground, on an all too consistent basis.  Needs to remove those glaring skill errors from his game if he is ever going to be classed as a good player." He is also a poor kick at goal. Would give him a 5

[J Buckthorn]

Gave him a 9. Excellent year, very damaging some games. Minor kicking deficiency, other wise a great season

[Chuck17]

5. The thing about sheds clangers are usually he has weaved through heavy traffic, made it into the clear and you go you beauty a goal assist coming up here and then this huge shank or worm burner gets unleashed

[Owl]

I gave him a 7.  I like Sheds, I think he has more up than down and could be something special if he can clean up the disposal issue.

[Coach]

Gave him a 9. Excellent year, very damaging some games. Minor kicking deficiency, other wise a great season

Didn't know it was out of 20 I will move my score uP to a 10

[bojangles17]

5/10 if we could swap him for dangerfield or gunston, id certainly consider it
