Aaron Edwards a Tiger [official]

[Darth Tiger]

Turning circle of a tram, and goes one way. Really needs to add defensive pressure & sticky tackles to his game. But does he have the pace ?

Still admire the attack on the pack & footy for the 07 SF grab - sensational - but that was 6 years ago !

I have two issues with this.

1. Why were Melbourne not interested?
2. He's not from an Adelaide team.

pick 74 hey.
a pick they reckon they werent going to use.
just had a look at all our picks from pick 50 onwards since 2000. it doesnt make for pretty reading.

the best we have managed with picks after 50 in that time is tuck and mark graham who were both mature recruits, grahams circumstance similar to edwards this yr with age etc.
raines still plays for brisbane and most tiger supporters have no time for him.

all those picks over all those yrs and how many good players have we found after pick 50. seems to me we are better off taking mature players with these types of picks.

Richmond has agreed to a trade deal with North Melbourne to secure the services of forward Aaron Edwards.

Details of the trade will be released upon official paperwork being lodged with the AFL today.

North Melbourne head of football Donald McDonald wished Edwards well.

"Aaron worked extremely hard to turn his career around with us and we hope he enjoys his time with Richmond," McDonald said.

Unless someone else is delisted (or Newman is moved outside the list) we won't even use 43.

1. Dees ended up with pick 74 so they were involved.
2. Edwards played for Frankston which is the same as Adelaide anyway.

Can confirm they had to tick off the Melbourne interest and the relation to Sth Aust before the deal could be done. Hence the slight delay.

Azza says farewell

After a whirlwind couple of days for Aaron Edwards, he has said farewell to North Melbourne and Aegis Park.

"I got back from America on Friday with no talks to any football clubs and on the Tuesday, Richmond gave me a call. I went and had the medical...next thing you know they were saying we're trying to get a trade for you," Edwards told kangaroos.com.au.

Edwards spent six years as a Roo arriving via West Coast and Frankston in the VFL. He signed off with this message:

"Even though I'll be playing for Richmond I'll still have an eye on North Melbourne because I feel like I'm North Melbourne at heart."
