How was he rushed back too early when he played all of the pre season?? He was one of the main offenders on the weekend, massive shades of his old self turning the ball over.

It think that it has little to do with playing the preseason WAT. He broke a bone in his hand. It was a clean break with separation in a spiral formation. Yet in 2 weeks he is playing football in the toughest of competitions. Medically speaking, that is far too soon.

Broken leg

He played with a bung hand.  Not as easy to handball or drop to foot

Well then if that's the case and we want to say he came back too early then this is another example that reeks of desperation from the coach.

You could see it that way but I reckon Maric coming back would have been a better indicator of that but he resisted the temptation.

He played one full NAB challenge game and then copped a shoulder injury in the first 20 minutes of NAB 3, not sure how that is a qualifies as playing "all of the pre-season"

Then he breaks his hand in round 1

Well then if that's the case and we want to say he came back too early then this is another example that reeks of desperation from the coach.

Again with respect and believe me I have no issue with people whacking the coach but please....

The medicos (you know the supposed experts here) gave Edwards the OK to play, they told the coach and his band of assistants he was OK to play. So the coach takes their collective word for it and they picked him to play. Not sure how that "reeks of desperation from the coach". 

As I said whack those (read the paid experts) who said he was right to play they are to blame here

Derwood  left him up forward for most of the match when he was really needed more in the midfield....especially when we already had Short & Rioli up there...
