Another 3 goals from Edwards. Has had an excellent year up forward and stuck it up his doubters. 8)

Best year by far at the club. Is clearly a forward. Dangerous around the forwardline. Needs to work on his kicking but well done to him for improving his game. Very quick with his hands. Hopefully follows up next year with another good year.

29 goals for the season & and 8th place finish in the B&F. Safe to say Shane won't be getting delisted any time soon numbnuts.

You were harder on Martin in you comments than you have ever been on Edwards and you are still blind sided.

He still fades in and out of games and he still get tossed off the ball easier than any other player in our team, he still turns the ball over 3-4 times a game and misses easy shots at goal.

His goal tally has improved, he is very good with his hands in close, he can take a good mark and he does set up goals.

Next year he needs to play 4 qtrs, he needs to stop thinking he is the hulk and stop trying to break tackles, he needs to kick 40+ goals if he plays forward of the ball and he needs to stop turning it over...

He is pretty strong for his size much stronger than nahas... And be can take a  mark over head unlike falafel head... Edwards is a fine player and required... He is even Better and more dangerous than Foley... Some of u knobs just cannot admit Edwards is a valued player

As a small forward edwards is more dangerous than foley.But at this point in time edwards is a goal sneak,nothing more nothing less.On the other hand i regard nathan as an elite midfielder.When he went down earlier this year we missed him badly .I'd go as far as to say that if he played ,some of those real close games we would have won.On the other hand if edwards went down with a long term injury(god forbid) would we miss him as much?...very much doubt it

much improved season from titch - thought he was gone prior to this year but felt he did enough to warrant at least being in our best 25...

hopefully realises now what it takes to make it/contribute & goes up another cog next year....

not sure he is better than Foley - think that's pushing it...more dangerous up forward perhaps

thought he was pretty ordinary the first 8 9 games.

thought he was pretty decent most games there after primarily  as a small forward.
for 6 yrs the challenge for this bloke has been not to drop off too much when he has a poor game and becoming consistent.
has it all to prove still as just over half a yr of decent footy is not enough.

thats a pretty good summation of his weaknesses and strengths.  did enough to to keep his spot nothing more at this stage.

Certainly did enough to keep his spot which is a far cry from what some here expected at the beginning of the year. :shh

Incorrect..again...a lot expected more of him, more consistency, as per my previous points...

Yes he was better but the inconsistency a stupid errors are still there....now.... :shh
