Shane Edwards [merged]

[Mr Magic]

Nahas kicked 34 goals.  Read lots of comments about how ordinary he was in 2012. 

By contrast, his stick insect cousin, Shane Edwards who is in his sixth season of AFL produced a 29 goal effort as the third of fourth forward.  (ie. the forward with the worst defender on him week in week out)    Ellis who is in his first season and an inch short is 5kg heavier than him.  Most improved player?  Best small forward?  When you come from a base of being a massive dud and you put in a below par season, I guess that is a big improvement. But thats not anything to get excited about.

Edwards is a dud.  He does well against mediocre opposition when the season is over.  He epitomises everything that is wrong with Richmond.  We perform well against opposition clubs that are tanking towards the end of the season and then can't win a game at the start of the next season when the pressure is on.  Until Edwards can perform consistently under the most basic forms of pressure, suggestions that he is a good player are weed induced fantasies of insane Richmond supporters who have been starved of success.

With respect, what an unmitigated pile of horse manure that post was.

Everyone has an opinion, but that doesn't mean they aren't full of poo. Nahas better than Edwards, geez.

[Coach]

You realise Edwards only played 15 games as a forward?

Rubbish.

[one-eyed]

Titch played 20 games this year averaging just under 18 disposals per game and kicked 29 goals for the season. He had 20 or more possies in 7 matches (3 of them against the top 4 sides) and kicked multiple goals in 10 games.

Edwards is without doubt the most valuable player in the team.........

You'd think we were debating about Juddy.

Coach, Edwards is Juddy sans shoulder bandages so I can see your confusion.

Um sorry was that my question, yep sure have noticed it, same as I have noticed the poor kicking of Ellis, the non leading of Jack or the slowness of Post......anymore. The question was about Edwards though...
