Hard to argue that he has had a shocker of a year so far but one thing is certain - Dimma will not drop him.

He generally backs in his men in these situations.

Rightly or wrongly.

I don't particularly want to see him playing VFL. He is due to miss some games with an "injury" or a rest though.

Still looks 20 but is finally playing like a 34yo. Hope to send him off with a good win late in the season in a farewell game

Dimma said Sheds had a hip flexor issue which is why he did little at Monday training but he's okay and will play.

I dont think falling short of 300 will dampen his legacy at the club. Hes been a great player for a long time but its time for him to do a Grigg and Caddy and retire so that a Banks or a Sonsie can get some games.

I dunno, I reckon if you get a guy to 294 you find a way to get him to 300. Still irks me that Campbell was left on 297 somehow. (I don't remember the details.)

I had a look at Shedda's game stats for season 2019 and it's chalk and cheese with 2022. He was getting high 20s for disposals, laying big tackle numbers, hitting the scoreboard, getting clearances. I don't know if he has a Zimmer frame-friendly new role, but if it's less output from the same role then yes, he is cooked.

Campbell said he wanted to retire at 294. He didn’t want to surpass Francis Bourke’s tally out of respect

Buggered.

Can't hit his targets with the hands, has long that evasiveness that made him so damaging.

Much better than earlier in the season but still has dropped off pretty far from last season. Seems to not be able to hit a target anymore.

Balmey on SEN said Edwards looked "a little bit tired" last Thursday night.

Really does need a rest. Honest opinion is he is taking games away from a younger player atm.
