i for one didn't think he had it in him, and was 100% wrong. The games he played during those premiership years were a thing of beauty.

What a champion.

To say you were brutal for a long time about him would be an understatement

As you have done many times before, you man up when totally wrong

Huge kudos

My favourite Shed moment, when he crunched Hopper in the 2019 GF

----------

"It is time for me to step aside and move on just as players did for me when I started," Edwards said.

"I am trying to play to the best of my ability out there, but it is pretty obvious to me that I won't be helping us move forward next year.

"The club has given me everything, it has changed my life forever and I will always be connected to the Richmond Football Club.

"My teammates are what I will miss the most, we have been through so much together and always had fun. I will miss putting the jumper on before a game and when we really flick the switch. I love the 15 minutes after a win as well, it is the best feeling.

"When I look back on my career, what I think of is how lucky I have been; on the injury front – I have never really had a big injury, and I got to come to a big club with really passionate supporters.

"I am lucky the Korin Gamadji Institute emerged upstairs a couple of years into my career as well, and I (am grateful to) have seen so many sides of the game as a player.

"I have won premierships and a few wooden spoons and finished everywhere in between as well."

Just the most loveable guy. So humble. Always smiling. And a superstar. So lucky to have such a ripper bloke at our club for so long.

[eliminator]

Made the right decision. Very selfless. Retires as a true champion of this club. Showed enormous potential when he started and then under Hardwick really excelled. Very humble. Great leader. Inspiring on and off the field. Pivotal in our success. Thank you Shane.

Just randomly went back to one of the earlier pages and it seems like that WAT fella was by farrrrrrr his biggest detractor.

Bloke was a tool. By all accounts he was me with a lower IQ.

I will interpret that as reconciliation.

[The Machine]

Love him…always have

[Francois Jackson]

the club believes edwards could become one of the best outside midfielders in the league within the next three years.

he has explosive 20 m speed, elite endurance and great skill

he will be a better player than jordan mcmahon, and lynsey gilbee put together.

will play the dale thomas role......better than thomas.

Barr up, and lock yourselves in the mens room felles this bloke is gunna rock our world.

  who remembers this bloke?

funny stuff yet true the underline bit only

[the claw]

Hmm ljust like the finishes he talks about you know wooden spoons premierships and everything inbetween that is also tru of his career.

Very very ordinary for a long while had some seasons where he was A/A  or very much in contention and he had plenty of seasons in between.

As a big critic especially early on credit to him for becoming a very good player.

I personally don't rate him as high as a lot of tiger supporters but at least am prepared to applaud the player he did become.
The best of him for me was his hands in tight along with the sixth sense vision that went with them. A lot of the rest of his game i think in fairness to supporters there has always been room for a criticism or two along the way.
Well done Shane as a critic i will remember you with fondness as a player.

[mat073]

He was tremendous in the premiership years .  Great speech today .

Champion on and off the field
