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.

I see you never replied to my earlier post. Do you think its okay a player given a last shot, at a career is putting himself in a position to get arrested as a 3 time repeat offender 3 days after getting selected?? You seem do not think its an issue but i bet if it was the scum you and others would be laughing at them.

RFC wont look at Edwards on this one incident they will look at him as a whole

If he had just done this once i agree so what let him be, but we need to set an example and create a bloods like culture which thankfully i think we are. Your policy of letting it be, all players are allowed to drink is a thing of the past.

Your mate Terry's era.

Things have changed bud on the field and in society,and like Dimma said we don't need that at our club nor do we need losers like that on the streets or drink driving.

Players like Knights, Chaplain fill a void at our club that i agree with, this bloke is just a trouble maker from Frankston who puts football as a second priority to going out and getting smashed.

Odds on to start the year at Coburg after this episode and lets hope he stays there

Edwards will be fine

are our players tea totallers if not i bet my bottom dollar every single player has let his hair down with a few too many drinks this off season. after when can you have a few and let your hair down if not in the off season.
the only thing i reckon edwards has done different to a deledio or cotchin is not get drunk but get drunk in public.

if people think a large portion of players in the afl dont enjoy a beer and dont occasionally get drunk then they are kidding themselves.

what happens on mad monday thats right they get rolling drunk but hey thats okay its sanctioned. what do the premiers do for a week after winning the flag thats right they get rolling drunk but thats okay its sanctioned.
talk about double standards.
at the end of the day  these blokes need some time to do what every other 18 to 30 yr old does  and that is party and have a good time end of season is the time to do it.
Yes the one and only Kevin Bartlett. 5 premierships, 5 best & fairest and AFL legend. A tea totaller.   :cheers

Dermie, Lethal, Jimmy Buckley, Wayne Johnston, Johno Brown etc for every KB, there are 100 of the others. Don't see any link between tee totalling and winning B&Fs or Flags
Tetleys were our sponsor when we won the 1980 flag and teetotal Tommy coached our previous 4 flags before that, so there have been links to tea totaling for our last 5 flags. :lol

Comparing Edwards to Buddy Franklin.  It's like comparing Barb from Carlscum to Jennifer Hawkins.

Edwards will always be a serviceable VFL forward.
