Yet another excellent game. Our form small forward.

If his game was excellent then Tucky played the greatest game in history.

Tucky :bow

Tuck also played well.
Our best player yesterday in conditions that suit his game to a tee.
However this is the Edwards thread.

I'm not sure what the point is WAT?
He gets rag dolled like Ivan Maric gets out run by opposition mid fielders or Nathan Foley gets out marked by opposition kpp's in one on ones
What he is doing is making a big difference to our forward line, btw anyone see the goal he set up for Tuck last week?
You can't teach that, therefore it is worth panels in helping to generate scores when playing against good defensive teams.
Very important in finals football.
What is perfectly valid is that he has done is for 4 weeks as consistency is the biggest issue or him and most of the team.
Fix that and he becomes very important, can see 22 games at the current level delivering a 50 goal season.
“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.

Well don't take his game in to account from yesterday too much.......apparently it was only GWS....

Dont think he'll be traded darth, likely to be our second highest goalkicker this year...and has become our most dangerous small forward...trades are generally for those surplus to our needs ::)

So folks....what do we think of:

Shanes year to date?
Should/could he be traded (regardless of his re-signing)
Will he be a big part of the team next year if he stays?

Any other comments??

I think he really hit a purple patch for about 4 weeks this year and has since died off again, that is his major problem IMO, he just can't string it together. I did notice when I watched him against the Lions that he is quick with his hands ( ;D) and does have some talent. But his slight frame is his hinderance, he was very easily bumped off the ball or simply out muscled by Lions players.

I have alway said I wouold love to see him make it but at this point in time, after many years I think we need to bite the bullet if a trade is offered.

Sorry MM, but we can't keep him for another year IMO.

I also think that Hardwick loves him too much so he will stay!! :-\..........could see the one nail in the Hardwick coffin next year if he hangs on to players like this..I am not calling for Hardwicks head BTW!!!!!

I don't think he is based on the last 5 years...

New deal or not he is still tradable (another club would just pick his contract up....ala Holland!!).....and I did say Hardwick loves him.......did you read my post MM... :whistle
