You don't get a bloke on your senior list and have him in the reserves all year. Complete waste of money. Edwards will play and possibly in round one too.

Good call coach. One A. Edwards is a complete waste of money and shouldn't be on our senior list.
Unless he's purely there for an emergency back up if too many forwards have gone down with injury.

There's no way I'd have him play unless all other options are exhausted.

I'd be shocked if he were playing round 1.

Prepare to be shocked. Edwards is a freak and can produce some seriously good football. Not sure why you have a vendetta against him, he's a ripper bloke.

He might be a ripper bloke as so was miller and his ripper hot Mrs. But besides Mrs miller what benefit was he?
Pointless pickup IMO. But purely as a backup plan fair enough.

It's about time we get a settled team that will take us into finals. Then 2014 top four then you could consider an old timer to fill a specific role (if we have need of someone) for 2015,16,17 when we are a triple premiership threat.  :thumbsup

Edwards is a better forward than Miller by default as he is a lovely kick, can kick further than 12 metres and Azza can sit on blokes heads. Consistency is his problem but I will bet he plays a bit of senior football for us next year

Stop beating around the bush Tigra. Do you think Hardwick & Cameron have taken a short cut here? ;D

if edwards earns a spot through performance, then he plays.
Pretty simple really.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

If Miller could get a game with us then just about and other forward playing AFL could.

Aaron Edwards usually plays a few games a year where he is actually quite good. I would play him in R1 and hope that is one of the games he fires in and kicks 3 or 4 goals.

I would rather see aaron edwards running around with a cheesy smile and fist pump celebrating his 3rd goal and match sealer inrd 1 than see any of those scum like betts or robinson pretend their extras from boyz in tha hood :shh

So we have finished the 2012 draft and brought in new players, we also got Knights and Chaplin in trades. So who is under the pump in 2013. For me the 2013 national draft and trading periods will be the last draft and trading period we will need to finally finish the renewal of the playing list into one which should be capable of winning a flag. So who is under the pump in 2013? Who needs a big season to survive the cut?

For me and in no particular order the players who need big years include:

David Astbury
Luke McGuane
Shane Tuck (may retire)
Daniel Jackson
Aaron Edwards
Matthew White
Tom Derrickx
Ben Darrou

For the first time in a long time the list seems to be getting smaller and Tuck wouldnt even be on it if he wasnt considering retiring. Next years draft is considered to be a rip snorter. So who do you guys reckon should be on the list? Who needs a big season to survive the Hardwick axe.

Why Darrou and not Arnot, Verrier?

Agree with this

If he helps us beat the scum rd 1, he plays all year and the next 3 yrs

Astbury got 3 years from Cameron about two months back. Or maybe it was 2.

okay all we keep on getting from you is hes a waste . no reason why apart from hes got on the pee a few  times  and he will be 29 next yr. how about you actually tell us why in football terms.
you know strengths weaknesses  performances where he fits in the list flexability etc. you clearly have a problem with age perhaps you can tll us all how we are travelling for experienced players.  is he a different better option than say white omg. will we get more from him than say macdonald,  if your going to bag em put up or shut up. just remember bud we are all waiting and ready to give you poo if you cant make any sense which by the way is quite often.

i could ask for more but i doubt you will even reply and make a legit attempt at answering the very simple questions ive asked that a ten yr old could.

Sometimes your posts make about as much sense as my 94 yr old grandma after she smashes a glass of red

In football terms?? Sometimes it's not just about that Claw

Garlett? Fev??

On football alone I agree,  I'd say he should be first picked ahead of spuds like Hackson and White

I don't agree with it, much like Miller, but so what I'd love for him to kick 3 goals against the scum Rd 1 as that will mean we win.

At the end of the day regardless of what we all say and think.

If he performs he stays. It's as simple as that.

My money is on him kicking 20/30 goals. Said it when it happened best thing for him is getting locked up already as I don't believe it will happen again and he will be out to thank the club
