Shane Edwards [merged]

[Yeahright]

People just expect to replace our players from thin air 

[Chuck17]

trade for a slower, more inconsistent player.

wait, what?

Maybe we could trade him for Andy Collins

[Coach]

Nup. White always put his head over the onion, had a nice kick and unreal pace. Average/solid player at Richmond. Clearly our chip chip, stuff around with it gameplan isn't suited to Greg's style of play. Port play a lovely style of footy that suits Whitey. Obviously he's going alright and Dan Richardson made a cock up. Hope Greg and Dan bump into each other at some stage this year.

Sounds like it was the right thing for the player so I'm sure Dan would be happy for him.

I doubt that very much

[Penelope]

Keep Edwards if possible but at a moderate rate. If he's offered better coin elsewhere don't stand in his way.

keep him for what reason. Sorry magic he is hopeless and a list clogger along with at least 8 from our current list.

He's not hopeless at all. He changed the game against the Cats, a hopeless player doesn't do that.

Let me see mate, thats right we lost so what did he change. Played well-yep but you should expect that from a sub.

He changed other games too due to his lack of ability wouldnt you agree? Cant have it both ways.

did we play the better football with or without him against geelong?

as for what did he change? really? yeah we still lost, but perhaps if the blokes on the field hadnt gone gone a quarter and half without kicking a goal his influence may very well have been the difference between winning and losong rather the the difference between a big loss and a small loss.

How in gods name could you lay that at his feet when he wasnt even on the ground????????

why would he be happy with letting go a guy who was the fastest in our club but allowing other spuds to list clog.

Nothing to be proud of there watching the slowest RFC team in years.

Matt's departure wasn't all smiles and handshakes. Dan would not be pleased at his current form. Whitey is shoving it right up his arse and good on him

[yellowandback]

You think Dan is that small minded?
Interesting.

[tony_montana]

what I want to know is what ekto thinks about all of this

[bojangles17]

Clubs weren't exactly queuing to contract a 105gamer over 8 years to a 1mn 3 year deal ...RFC did what most clubs would do, PA have been damned lucky. Players under these circumstances never generally turn out for the best, read Chris knights , justin blumfield , mark Williams, Clinton young, Quentin lynch, Wayne Carey , lions  have had a few lately

He d also torn a hammy every year for last few years....good luck to whitey, right place right time

[Coach]

I think Dan made a horrible choice by treating Matt like a piece of garbage. Can't see how he'd now be on his side.

[Mr Magic]

Agree with bojan. If White was so valuable he'd have done a lot more at Richmond over the umpteen years he was there.

That's your mail is it? that PA was the only club interested?

To borrow a phrase from someone else: Give me a spell

Don't forget Blair, part of his job is "value" those on our list and make recommendations regarding contracts & re-signings. Looking at the RFC web-site the other day it seems Blair has been promoted  He is now  "General Manager of Player Personnel & List Management" 

[Coach]

I hope you don't mind me saying this WP...Blair is terrific, just terrific.

[WilliamPowell]

Nah, Terrific, just terrific Tm, you've mentioned it
