Waste of space. 9 years of list clogging and listen to some of you lot, talking him up like he's the best in our team...

Unreal!!!!



would think he epitomizes why we are so bad as football club. He along with club greats like Grigg and Hampspud.

Carrying these type of blokes to 200 games is what we do at the RFC.

FWIW I don't think anyone is disputing he didn't play well against the Lions, which reinforces my thoughts on him as a footballer as being a downhill skier and a very average one at that

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I agree that since that sub he has definitely played pretty well, last week his best, handled the ball as clean as , set up a lot of play with handball through traffic and snagged a couple of goals .....Shane Edwards , very least of our problems  :shh

Given the number of games he has played he should be dominating games. He has always had great potential but he has not lived up to it. The Brisbane game is the perfect example. He showed what he can do but he does not do that on a regular enough basis. Too much is being left to too few in this club. He can win the contested ball, can handpass very well and kick freakish goals but so far he has not shown that he can lift the side when others such as Cotchin and Martin are struggling.

its amazing, he plays a decent game or even has two or three in a row, and the defenders ignore the big picture and praise the hell out of him. some people just dont learn.
reckon if people cant see things for what they are after 9 yrs they never will. recommend an ignore list

Actually pretty surprised by the numbers. Wouldn't have thought he'd had that much impact this year on face value.

The biggest negative I think with Shane is that he rarely produces a very good performance against good opposition in big games that count.
How many times have we seen him shank a kick or handball straight to the opposition which leads to a turnover goal in those sorts of games?

Kudos to him lately but his weaknesses still remain and while all players have weaknesses his are glaring and come out at the worst possible moments.

Look at him anyway you like, throw the few good games together that he has played over 9 years..WOW, champ. Keep accepting players like this, tell yourself how good he is when he puts in against a bottom side and you accept where we are at the moment....

He is a list clogging waste of space, he needs to go!!!!

I think the issue with Shane is that he is played out of position ie. he shouldn't be in the midfield. He's a good sub to inject fresh legs in forward line or half forward flanks but Dimma trying to make him a forward to rotate as an outside midfielder is ridiculous.

hes never in his whole career had great potential.
mate hes always had glareing weaknesses in his game and those weaknesses lkiterally stop him from becoming a good consistent footballer. he has always only ever been capable of achieving good ordinary, i reckon hes failed to reach that on a consistent basis.
