 Mate, get off your high horse. it's a football related post just like the quote was. I've posted with Greg Gerkin  for a fair few years and he's always been an Edwards fan. I'd like to know if he's jumped off the bandwagon, so how about you post your thoughts on Shed instead of taking pot shots? That sound fair? Or maybe you can go through every other thread where posters haven't quite stuck to the topic and do your backseat moderating there. Your choice

FWIW, I thought Edwards was going to be a gun after 07. Looked dangerous as a small forward...too inconsistent these days and still a lightweight

FWIW I think Davey sounds more like Patrick Smith....Kevin, Kevin. High horse lol
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

But i digress, all this love for Sheds has been de-bunked.

Edwards rightly has his critics.
However I certainly wouldn't give him away cheaply as there are a lot of positive traits to his game.
No doubt his kicking was very disappointing in the first half of this year before he cleaned it up a bit towards the end but I do think it's overstated a bit by some, mainly because his howlers, really are howlers. However he's also capable of kicking some very nice passes. Consistency by foot is his No.1 issue.
Because of this I share in much of the frustration as he's still making the same fundamental errors by foot after 5 years and at this point doubt it will change, however he's far from the worst on our list. I don't expect he'll be traded cheaply, in fact I'll be surprised if he's traded at all.

We need at least one player that can be vented at for the entirety of the RFC's woes. I reckon keep shed coz at least he does some good things

Meet him a few times at Club 80, got to know him really well.

Great bloke, shows great leadership.

I would still like to see Edwards tried as a small forward/HF. He works hard both ways and is normally a good mark for his size. For mine he is too small and footpassing too erratic for our midfield especially in the guts long-term. We need a better class of second tier mids to improve.

yeah a drifting pest forward - i recall him in a few games as a fwd if he kicked straight he wouldve kicked bags of 6 or 7 instead was usually 3goals 4  :lol nothing to lose and ur right hes too eratic by foot leave him fwd bc he moves very well in traffic

His erratic field kicking is only surpassed by hus shedhouse goal kicking.  You can't be serious about putting him in the forward, ffs may as well bring back Thursty to play in the forward line.
