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.
im shocked he finished 8th. thought his first third of the yr ordinary.
is 8th just a reflection of the depth of the list or a reflection of a very good consistent yr.
personally i have never ever rated or included b&f finishes when debating players.
the problem people have with him is consistency and parts of his skill set. these things have not changed apart from having a decent back half to the yr.
lets be honest here shane has strung good games together before only to regress back to what seems is his level.
people really are entitled to ask will he maintain the decent afl level he was at for the last 12 odd games.they are entitled wait and see if he can at last find consistency before proclaiming him a good player.
one thing i am adamant on as a team structurally we can not play all of edwards king and nahas. imo there is a plce for just one.
all three lack big time in similar areas. of the three i think edwards the pick of them atm but that has changed regularly over the yrs as the form of these blokes fluctuates like a woman changing her mind in the shops.
