Shane Edwards - 200th game this week
« Reply #2190 on: July 26, 2017, 02:09:28 PM »
It's Titch's 200th this weekend.

----------------------------------------------------------

Talented Richmond playmaker Shane Edwards will play his 200th AFL game when the Tigers clash with Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.

He becomes the 27th footballer in Tigerland history to reach the 200-game milestone, and the first Indigenous player to accomplish the feat with the Club.

Edwards was Richmond’s second selection (No. 26 overall) in the 2006 National Draft, having been recruited from SANFL club North Adelaide.

At 18 years, 177 days of age, Edwards made his senior debut with the Tigers in Round 4, 2007, against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG

How did this guy ever reach 200 games?

Yes, when he is good he can be very good but that happens as many times as we win finals... :banghead

In one thread you are sticking up for BEllis and in this one you are bagging Edwards.
Edwards is twice the player BEllis will ever be.

I'm looking forward to you getting behind your love child Griff again.

Mate. I'd go read the other thread again. Where did I stick up for Ellis? I said he was more timid than soft. Not sure if you are having trouble understanding things atm.

He may well be twice as good as BEllis  but that dont mean hes not a dud just a lesser one.You wanna talk shirk stakes then its an even money bet in fact id prefer Ellis.

We want to win a final this yr  (even though  i cant see it) and hve never thought  we would,!!! because  next yr we  will probably be back to the middle or bottom.
We rely heavily on a novel approach with a lack of talent and depth  sides will work it out then what?

From the guy who thinks Grimes is soft, I find it hard to take you seriously when talk about this stuff.

But for the record the way we are playing I don't think we will win a final either. Our footy is miles away.

Grimes is soft you just dont see it.In a way there is one type of soft and then there is another type of soft.
But where does thet preclude or stop him from being brave in a lot of circumstances.???? . Fmd it is a prerequisite .
Same goes for Ellis fmd like you i hate the little prick with a vengeance  because of it, but ive seen him go back with the flight of the ball on a lot of occasions so he can be unsoft for lack of a better way of saying it.But hes still a squib.

Like you i call what i see  and i stick by what i see.  to be honest Grimes has been very good lately in all areas so maybe he has turned a corner but you know what i will always be looking  what ive ive seen over the yrs leopards never change their spots.

As for Edwards he is shocking soft lazy and actually scared of physical contact and it has always been there.You just need to look closer and you will see.When you defend blokes like this i too find it hard to take you seriously  ;) but you have enough runs on the board where you do regardless.

Finally geez how much have i got right over the yrs and you cant take me seriously.Over the yrs it has been me planting the seed and most have had to join the party.Even if wrong about Grimes and im not i reckon the record is better than most peoples.

Its funny on this site you say something and 6 12 months later even yrs later people are sprouting exactly what one has said.Im not going to get everything right but just watch the hyenas when you do . they are a Bit  like Ellis just in a differemt way ;)

Is Edwards the least influential player to join the Richmond 200 games club?

He joins Gaspar, Bowden and Newman. More at:-

Josh Kennedy from the Swans is also playing his 200th this weekend.  Was thinking there's a massive gulf between these two .
