Kind of missing my point, none of the players mentioned can kick big bags of goals. Edwards kicked 5 once but not anything like it since.
Agree though we have a few midfield options but I would love for us to have that killer small.
Maybe McDonough will be the one....
if your sml forward averages just two goals a game thats 44 goals for the yr.not many smalls each yr kick 40 plus. imo if you only play sml forward that should be the minimal return. milne betts meet this requirement and even eddie is spending some time as a part of rotations.
edwards played primarily as a sml forward from about rnd 8 - 10 onwards last yr and kicked 29 goals that to me is a very good return.
for blokes like edwards that return needs to be around 25 30 goals for the season with the amount of time hes spending in the midfield. its probably too much time in there atm.thing is as primarily a mid this yr he hasnt found enough ball his possesion rate needs to be a little higher.
two criticisms ive always had with him is his ability to find enough ball as a mid and his kicking. so im a bit reluctant to see him spend significant time in the midfield.
i would prefer edwards spent most of his time forward with limited time in the midfield.
imo the amount of time he spent forward and rotated thru midfield for the last half of last yr was about right. it seemed to be the right balance for him and ir makes him a valuable member of the team. primarily sml forward allows him to play to his strengths and doesnt expose his weaknesses like they are when he plays as a mid.
i say because we all say we need to be better with forward delivery its not one of shanes strong points. 80% forward 20% as a part of rotations please.
