Aaron Edwards a Tiger [official]

[Rockster]

Would be happy to pick Edwards up cheap. He has talent and would be good insurance. North have far better tall forward options than us, depth wise, at least. He is fourth in line there. Will be second/third here. This is 'Sydney style' trading. For reals.
As long as we pay stuff all for him. 

Yeah Sydney style trading and then he retires.

He's an old goat.

couple of years as insurance. No problem with me. He's very similar to Morts in a number of ways. Talented, but inconsistent and a touch lazy. No one is hanging poot on Sydney for taking Morts now.
Edwards actually played pretty well in the games he played this year, I reckon. Probably would have played more games in team with less KPF depth.
As i said, as long as we play stuff all for him then I reckon in its a pretty smart trade.

Morts is poo

Morts might be poo but he is something NONE of our player are .. a premiership player who also kicked 2 clutch goals in a GF

Wow coz he got lucky

Not sure about Edwards. If he gets the ball he is a good kick but he lacks the size and pace to fulfill either the tall marking option or small crumber option. Would be good for depth I guess

I only want BH knighted for getting rid of Gus for pick 40  lol   , CC  i don't peturb to know much about but from what i have read here CC couldn't  run the Indiginous institute better than Bruce Ruxton ....

Hartley was not involved in the trade OUT of Graham.
Hartley picks his targets FROM the opposition sides. He does not trade OUT players that we do not want anymore.
That is the work of Craig Cameron, List Manager and Football Head.
So he deserves and should get all the credit for the Graham trade.

He plays like a full forward, but isn't a big lumbering body.  Might be that zippy, hit-up CHF that we need.

Bloody hell he is 29 wtf Tigers, don't trade a pick away ffs...

Tigers thinking forward

NORTH Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards could be headed to Richmond after undertaking a fitness test with the Tigers on Wednesday.

Edwards' management company, Elite Sports Properties, confirmed the Tigers' interest in their out-of-contract client on Thursday.

Richmond has until Friday's 2pm deadline to complete a trade for Edwards, who could provide support for Jack Riewoldt and Tyrone Vickery in the Tigers' forward 50.

If the Tigers are unable to do so - or choose not to - they could still seek to snare Edwards in the event he does not re-sign with North.

If North delist Edwards before the start of the delisted player free agency period on November 1, the Tigers can claim him as a free agent. Unlike October's free agency period, North would not receive any compensation for losing Edwards as a delisted free agent.

Alternatively Edwards could attempt to join the Tigers via the more uncertain route of the NAB AFL Draft or the pre-season draft.

After kicking a career-best 36.8 in 19 games in 2011, Edwards played just nine games in 2012, kicking 17.6.

He did play a game after North's 115-point loss to Hawthorn in round 10 as North settled on the three-pronged forward line of Drew Petrie, Lachlan Hansen and Robbie Tarrant.

Edwards, who will turn 29 before the start of next season, has played 82 AFL games and kicked 124 goals.

After playing four games as a West Coast rookie in 2005, he came to North's attention after kicking 100 goals and winning the VFL's Liston Trophy with Frankston in 2006.

North selected Edwards with pick No. 82 in the 2006 draft.

North and Richmond declined to comment when contacted by AFL.com.au.

WGAF?

gerks I see you've gotten over your stomach bug a few posts back...

Make sure you tuck into some hydralites so you are fit and ready to welcome Aaron Edwards with open arms.

Hmmm Perplexing...After consulting Dr Google it appears that you do not have a stomach bug but a rare condition which is brought on by people who have an unnecessary letter in their name like the two A's in Aaron.  Now I'd like to perform a quick test to confirm my hypothesis....Are you ready? Okay I have my plastic smock and googles on...here we go....

I can see some similarity but Kingsley was a different style of player.

Gerks in the interests of reducing the chances of a snip I probably should have started with Siimon Reynolds.  You are such a dirty, dirty bird.
