Shane Edwards [merged]

[Heart of Darkness]

Should be playing in the forward line 80% of match time and 20% midfield.

X 2

Not sure why we've played him so much in the midfield the last few years when we've been crying out for a small forward. Is a good clearance player but does his best work forward of centre. Reads the ball of the pack better than anyone at the club.

x3

he plays mid cause he is very handy in the mid, and dimma is an idiot

its clear to see he is most valuable near the goals IMO

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I think he was our best centre clearance player last year before his injury. I guess that is why they play him there.

[Stalin]

yeah, but

we have miles, martin, cotchin

and no decent small forwards since Geez was a boy

He has come a long way!
Long been a whipping boy and now we wish we had two of him. One in the middle and one up forward!

Yer he is just about one of our most important players now. Adds something to our side that no one else can.

Titch to spend more time up forward this year according to Lade today.

[Diocletian]

Shank just kicked four goals in a match and Mr. Magic hasn't posted yet......hope he's alright....

He may just do so, but I'd to see him on the wing streaming down the pocket setting up or kicking goals. He remindsa lot like  Matty Knights

Richmond great Matthew Richardson has strongly endorsed the Tigers’ plan to use talented playmaker Shane Edwards in a more permanent forward role this season.

“We need small forwards, and we’ve addressed that area at the draft with Daniel Rioli.  But you can’t expect too much of a first-year player, so I think it’s a great move if Shane can play predominantly forward.

“If he played there for the whole year, I think you could get 35-40 goals out of him, absolutely.

“I think he’ll still go into the middle and pinch-hit at the centre bounce, because we know he’s a great clearance player.  But I think he needs to play forward 75 percent of the time.

“A good clearance player normally means you’re reading the play pretty well.  So he can be a great crumbing player.

“Shane puts on good forward pressure as well.  And, if you’re a small forward now, it’s not just about goals.  You need to be able to lay tackles.   

“We’ll still need him in the middle at times. It probably depends on how guys like Jacob Townsend and Andrew Moore go in the middle.

“If they can spend more time in there, it means Shane can play forward a little bit more.”

Dan Richardson: 'They need further assessment. Initially Edwards scans look ok. Grigg has a thumb. Conca looks like a decent hamstring tear'
