Rate a Tiger's year - 10. Shane Edwards?

[one-eyed]

Next up is Titch.

Shane played 20 games in his seventh season of AFL to take his career tally to 129. He played the first 18 matches straight before injury and suspension meant in the last month he only played against GWS and then in the Elimination Final a fortnight later where he only had 11 disposals (his lowest return for the season). Edwards had 20+ possessions on eight occasions in 2013 including a career high and his first 30 possession game against the Cats in round 6.

How did we all rate Titch's year?

[TigerMonk]

l would rate him with my 12 gauge. how this guy survived all these years stuns me. anyone will have a good day once a year, When all the other players are worn out.

[Francois Jackson]

Monk your wrong dont you to games to see those elusive quick hands that we saw round 15, 2007. Amazing

Small forward role should be a role played by Paul P and Breust.

Edwards is a teachers pet because there is no other way he is getting a game

His year 1/10

[WA Tiger]

Would probable give Shane a 3 or 4, I honestly thought that if he were to have a break out year this would of been it. As TM has said, one good year is all Shane has had.

While I am very disappointed and I would of liked to see Shane improve as I backed him in the entire year without bagging him at all his lack of improvement really reinforces what I have been saying for years about him.

I hate to say I  told you so but.....

We should of traded Shane when he had that decent year, instead we re-signed him...people are complaining about picking up Hampson, in all honesty you should be complaining about the club continuing to carry Edwards for so many years with very little in return.

Anyway, he is still in he team for next year so lets hope he can actually improve..

How could l forget it was against hawthorn & we got smashed after halftime. Edwards & Bowden passing the ball for cheap possessions

You think he may take some advise from Jackson or maybe he could get bumped off in Rio

[big tone]

I totally understand people's thoughts on Shane and I tend to agree on most things but I cannot help and think the DH didn't do him many favours this year. That small forward roll that he played so well in '12 is a really difficult possition to play but if you are getting chopped and changed all the time it's even harder. Swapping on ball, playing on the wing and then moving forward is hard for even the elite player in the AFL.
IMO you either sit him in the forward pocket and tell him to kick you a couple a game and set up a couple, and reside to the fact he isn't going to get 20 touches or you play him as that hybrid type that DH did this year and get what we got. Edwards is a pretty talented player but he is no Trent Cotchin, play him where he will cause the most damage and IMO it's close to goal under Jacks feet. And that probably means Jack plays closer to goal too.
Dimma, IMO try's to be a little cute for my liking, play players where they hurt the opposition the most. Jack doesn't hurt anyone on the wings or even across half forward.

[Coach]

Good theory Tone. Agree 100%

[Andyy]

I also agree tone.

F50 player for me. Has some pace and can really leap for marks. Shouldn't be in the midfield.

U blokes are kidding yourselves.

Ever thought maybe he is a c grader at best and all currency has gone, much like his mate Nahas.

Give me Paul P or Bruest, Elliot  anyway of the week.
