Rate a Tiger's year - Shane Edwards?

[one-eyed]

Next up is Sheds.

Edwards was affected by the covid restrictions on families and the 2020 AFL season arguably longer than any other Tiger. He played in our first 5 matches before the team was forced into a hub up in Queensland. Remaining in Melbourne to await the birth of his child, Shane missed the next 11 games and only made it up to the hub on the last chartered flight available. He trained with Gary Ablett and Daniel Hannebery while in 14-day quarantine and only returned to senior footy in time for our last H/A game against Adelaide. Edwards though didn't miss a beat, starring in our Semi-Final win over St Kilda and the Grand Final against Geelong to become a triple premiership Tiger.

How did we all rate Edwards' year?

[WilliamPowell]

Gave him a 9 despite his shorter season

Think he proved how important e is to our side when he came back. Sensational

Truly elite!

[Andyy]

9/10.

Killed it when he was in the team, and he only missed games for good reasons.

We miss him desperately when he's out. And he absolutely slayed clearances in the finals.


Elite elite elite.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

An all time great of our club

[Damo]

7, solely because of time missed

9 if played the whole year

[lamington]

I gave him a 10. He had immediate impact the second he walked onto the ground. His class was evident and was out of control in finals.

Played at an elite level whenever he wore the yellow and black this year so can’t fault him for his performances

[big tone]

Easily 10 for me

Played a massive part in us winning the big one.

The reason we are so good is the number of players with freakish ability. This is personified by Titch. He sees plays, and executes them, that most others can’t see and even if they did they couldn’t do them. The quickest hands ever I reckon. We also have Dusty and Shai who are freaks. The others, all pretty good, make the team with their grunt and skill but these 3 are the difference.
