Edwards had a very good game against Sydney.
Continues to torment the haters. Love it. 
you are easily pleased if thats a very good game. thats about the minimum you want from him but we all know its about his best.
says more about where we are at when we cant replace him for lack of mids on the list.
Bump.
you think a decent 4 week period in 6 yrs has me wetting myself with joy.
have acknowledged hes had a good 4 weeks but still dont rate him.
will continue to acknowledge his good games but my experience has taught me leopards dont change their spots. i hope he proves me wrong but i wont hold my breath hoping.
And we won't hold our breath hearing your judgement on our players 
good for you keep on backing them in.
i dont see why others get antsy when a player like edwards is not rated. for a small hes taken an inordinate amount of time and 4 games yes at least i do acknowledge when he goes alright does not forgive his previous 5 or 6 yrs.
please forgive me if i reserve judgement as i can honestly say ive seen it all before with this bloke.
in many way i think im the normal one. in what other walk of life are people so tolerant. even after having their heads kicked in repeatedly on numerous occasions by player like edwards who give a little block of good games only to revert back to his level yet as soon as a godd game or two happens out come the supporters proclaiming him all over again.
mate im not the silly one.to win me over he will have to break the chain and actually become a good consistent player.
he is atm the best small forward we have but the real question is will he sustain it for ant decent period of time. to date thats not happened.
We all want a team of Judds and Abletts, but the reality is its impossible.. If you take off your self righteous glasses off and see that players not of the calibre AFL legend do actually play the game and win premierships..
As you may not be aware there is a salary cap in place in the AFL and so therefore that means the club has to balance paying eleite players with players that arent and still have the ability to field a team that can win... Yes it means that not all players will be elite no team can afford to pay them.. Yes when you dont have many elite players it means some players will be payed more than they're worth. And yes it does mean players like Shane Edwards will get games.. As long as he's improving, as i think he is, and contributing to the team and a team player he has his place in the team..
Shane is a solid contributor, follows team rules and does the job he is asked,, hence he is in the team.. Better to have a team player that lacks in a couple of areas then to have a champ that only looks after himself..
