From Dimma.

* Edwards - first year with Dimma was good. Last year a bit quieter but back to good this season. Dangerous player to play on as he has speed to get ball to boot quickly. Just needs to compose himself a bit more and he'll be a 40 goal-a-year player.

Dimma left out the reason he has no composure even 1m out from goal all on his own.  It is because he is poo scared and looking over his shoulder.  If that ever changes, he will be a good footballer.  He has had six years to grow a set.  Can't see it happening.

Pretty fair assessment from the coach.

Apparently all reports from the change rooms are that they finally dropped this year!  Except when it's really cold but then that would affect all except the most well endowed! :lol
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Good game Titch - was not a fan at beginning of the year but has started to become a lot mor consistent.

We have had a lot of "project" players that have simply fallen off the earth - good to see we can develop a good player internally

Will kick 40 goals as a small forward next season. More than serviceable  :clapping

You left out.  If he stops being a loser.  Have to include the whole quote, not just the fairy tale part.

Gold Coast, North Melbourne, Carlton.  The three wins that would have seen us play finals.  Edwards 2 Goals 7 Behinds.  Nahas 9 Goals 2 Behinds.

If Edwards had of converted 3 of those misses from 5 metres out, we would be playing finals now. 

Even with no opponent and no pressure on the weekend against a reserve team with King and Nahas in the side taking the better defenders, the completely useless dud missed 4 gimmes.  Of the four goals he did get, one of his conversions he struggled from 2m out, almost hit the post and another was a gift from Riewoldt into an open goal.

Its not complicated why people don't like Edwards.  He has been a dud of epic proportions for the last 6 years and still he gets picked week in week out.

You mean the goal he sprinted in from the boundary after taking the crumbs from Cotchin going up in a marking contest? Was he meant to kick that from where he took it??  :whistle :shh

Shameful to blame the loss of those games on 1 player, and out of the players that you could pin you pick Edwards? Nahas had 13, 8 and 9 disposals in those games to Edwards 17, 16 and 18. So 30 disposals to Nahas and 51 to Edwards.

Goal assists Nahas 1 Edwards 4 . . .

Edwards excites
By Tony Greenberg
Tue 14 Aug, 2012


Shane Edwards continues to shine in his new role as a medium-sized forward in the Richmond line-up.

Edwards kicked a career-high four goals in the Tigers’ 70-point win against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG last Sunday, to take his season’s tally to 23, with 22 of those coming in the past 12 games, since his permanent move into attack.

Gold Coast.  0 Goals 3 Behinds.  Lost by 2 points.  Carlton 0 Goals 3 Behinds.  Lost by 4 points.  Not counting kicks that didn't make it or were on the full.

Shameful to defend this dud.
