He's become a real weapon for us this year. It works well that he doesn't cop the hard tags that Cotch/Lids/Martin does but to his credit he is probably aware of this so he is usually quite damaging when he has ball in hand.

that burst out of the middle was nothing short of sensational

Some of us have rated this bloke for a while. He's been playing great footy for years. Just wish the media would keep it hush hush so he doesn't end up copping tags.

This blokes stands up when the team is down. Master extractor of the ball!

Can sometimes be too unselfish, has had chances to score but instead dishes off to someone under the pump. Has the talent to score more often, his goal from the centre clearance in the last was indication of what this guy is capable of.

Hold up, there's only one weapon at Tigerland. I would call Titch more of a utensil than a weapon. A utensil is always utilized & is a regular part of the daily/weekly regime.
A weapon you bring out only on special occasions when absolutely necessary ie. finals.
Our weapon is coming on nicely slow roasting in the oven of rehab and reserves footy. We will bring him out just when the time is right.
The club that keeps giving.

'Titch' Edwards still doesn't get the recognition he deserves

Richmond has its quartet of stars, and they deservedly attract plenty of attention. Captain Trent Cotchin, midfielder Dustin Martin, goalkicker Jack Riewoldt and defender Alex Rance take many of the Tiger headlines. All four were again important in the Tigers' come-from-behind win over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday, as was another consistent Richmond player who doesn't quite get the recognition his performances warrant. Edwards had 24 disposals and kicked two goals against the Giants, and gave the club some zip even though they were a bit flat at stages of he sloppy and slippery contest. Edwards may continue to fly under the radar externally, but inside the Tigers he is extremely highly regarded.

I love Titch, however, it wouldn't surprise me if he in fact became overrated due to everyone saying how underrated he is.

Very average today. Back to his worst. He can't afford to dish that crap up after he has supposedly reached the "elite" level. 8 possessions and no goals just doesn't cut it, particularly in finals.

He did kick a goal in the second from a 50 metre penalty.
In a final 8 posessions is woeful.
Had lots of nowhere mates today.
Another downhill skier on our list who does well when those around him are doing well also.
Games like today show how ineffectual he can be when other around him don't shine either.
At Hawthorn over the last few years he would have been a megastar.

Possible trade bait?
Won't happen though.
He will be integral for us next year between rounds 1-23.

TBH has not been the same player since coming back from the broken fibula.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
