Shane Edwards [merged]

Foley is an overrated damaged goods player... Why didn't the cats even consider him... Because his disposal has always been suss.... His body is busted... And he's very good at finding the ball and even better at stuffing up when he has it.

[Mr Magic]

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.

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....

An 8th place finish in the B&F shows his value to the club but keep talking him down if it makes you feel justified.

Bla bla 8th, I was waiting for this one, mate go read my original post, you usually only select what you want out of them, I had positives and negatives for Edwards. Take off your blinkers mate. 8th out of that lot is not a hard task.

8th out of that lot is not a hard task.

Really ?    So who do you barrack for mate ?

[Mr Magic]

8th out of that lot is not a hard task.

Don't rate Dustin Martin or Jack Riewoldt?

8th is a good result no matter how much you try to belittle it.

Oh really? Didn't stop you bringing Martin up in this thread recently.

You've just said that his finish in the JDM means nothing because 'that lot' isn't much chop so I can only assume you don't rate the players he beat in the tally.

I'm obviously not saying Shane is better than those guys as they have different roles, but Edwards had a very good season. No surprises that you're too blind to see it.

[rogerd3]

geez why cant some give the kid a break.

love the Titch and his quick hands and reflexes.

still scope for improvement i reckon.

has an X factor that all teams need occasionally.

but if he is a DUD as some on here claim him
to be who am i to argue with these experts.

You'd think that line of logic was pretty easy to follow

[WA Tiger]

6 stuffing years, 6 stuffing years, he would want to give more than he has in 6 stuffing years...

Wouldn't be in the line up at any of the top 8 clubs, FFS wake up, he goes ok and thats about it.

Next year he better be in the top 4 at the club or FAIL!!!!!!!!

[gerkin greg]

only duds or superstars at richmond

"top 4 at the club or FAIL" LMFAO

Harsh there mate,  ill be honest I havent rated Titch and put a line through his name in that game against the pies a few years ago when from 3  relatively easy shots on goal he managed a total combined agg score of 1 behind.... However, if he manages to play next season to the min standard of what he set as a small fwd in the second half of this season, then hes proved me and other knockers wrong. Doesnt need to be a top 4 player at the club, just a reasonable and decent contributor like the back half of this season.

Ok Gerks, 4-6 or am I still asking too much, I mean he apparently is a superstar finishing 8th...is 6th too much to ask mate.

Thats the problem with half of you, you are happy when our players reach the "ok" level or the "good enough" level.....thats why we have been in the poo we have for years. Accept the mediocray, pfft!!!!

For the milliionth time, he waent well this year, but thats it, he wasn't a star, he has been in the system for 6 years he sould be playing better than well......

FFS....BTW al, your still a fool!

[Penelope]

 
im the fool?
do you realise that only 4 players can finish in the top 4? (or 6 can finish in the top 6)?
so therefore with the rest we are accepting them reaching the OK level?

LMAO.

Who said fishing 8th makes someone a superstar?
Examples please, or perhaps it is you that officially becomes the fool?

go for it big boy
