E Edwards is a gimp.
No Joni brown or w Carey.
Exactly. And should never had been even considered for our club.
As pointless as Miller as he will never be part of any premiership tilt.
But on what ive read on some posts since picking him up he's a Monty for 30-40 goals next season.
Rubbish!
He shouldn't be given a game. He's still an 17 year old in a 29 year old body. Grow up.
lol going by that sydney should never have played bolton, goodes, malceski, mattner, okeefe, pyke, richards, roberts-thompson, and shaw all 28 plus this yr the same as edwards all obviously too old to play the game. yet all played in a premiership.
unlike sydney we have just 3 28 yr olds edwards makes 4 the list is overflowing with old men lol.
seems some just cant grasp that there is two sides to recruiting short term and med to long term. the aim of getting someone like edwards, chaplin, and knights even i maric the last 3 26 yr olds all would be classified as short term options, is to quickly make finals and allow us time to develop younger blokes to take their places when the real push happens. they are also taken to fill depth problems in the list.ie we have just 2 genuine medium sized forwards brett ohanlon and now edwards he sure as hell is ready to go and he sure as hell fills up a gap in the list.
when will you ever realise not all recruiting decisions are long term decisions. you want finals you better get your head around the need to take your fair share of mature players.
aaron edwards did exactly what wrong.
lets see he got drunk with mates at a time when all players at all clubs are allowed to drink and have a good time, the off season. i know lets just sack every player who gets drunk this off season regardless of weather they get caught out or not.
we all get drunk apart from the odd tee totaller and we all get drunk at times way past the age of 28. why do you think footballers should be any different to everyone else in their spare time.
finally if you cant see the reasons for taking miller and the need to get an experienced player like him for the short term. all i can say is thank god you have nothing to do with the club.
It's a big difference when a team is already in the eight fighting for a premiership berth and topping up for role specific needs ie Podsiadly/Geelong, than a team building for long term success and a much awaited finals berth.
Aaron Edwards did exactly what wrong? You asked...
The fact that you must ask says much about your knowledge on AFL matters.
First of all he's a fringe player with limited ability.
Secondly he's been at 3 clubs with limited game time in senior footy.
Thirdly he's 29 years old.
Lastly hes just been given a life line at his third club and if he had any brain would/should do anything & everything to make one last go at it at AFL level. Considering the fact that Richmond is regarded as an up & coming team you'd think he'd finally pull his head in and say to himself, ok I've got a couple of years left I'm gonna be the best I can be and maybe just give up the booze till I'm finished playing.
Why should AFL players be any different you ask? Again it's very clear to me but ill explain it to you very clearly so you can understand.....
An AFL career is very short on average. So what's a few years to maximize the best of what talent you possess and give yourself every opportunity to excell, not just for yourself but for the team that's given you the opportunity.
Aaron "Lockup" Edwards, is at the end of his somewhat limited career thus far and was given an opportunity by a third club ( stupid as the decision may be) to be a depth player for them.
He had a choice to make but given his history and playing career you'd have thought it would've been a chance to prove something and you never know what can happen. But the choice he made underlines how dumb this guy is and that he should never be given the opportunity to wear the tiger jumper for being so stupid.
Facts are he's not even a has been. He's a wannabe hack, he's still an immature kid and he'll never ever lead us anywhere. Players like him shouldn't even considered for this club especially if they are 29 years old unless we are in the top four and we are getting a role specific player to get us into a premiership which is nowhere near where we as a club are at our current development.
