Shane Edwards [merged]

[WA Tiger]

Well, who would have thought we would be back at this with Edwards then...

[Yeahright]

Please. It's swings and roundabouts with every player

Shane the hack Edwards.back to normal until his next short period where he sucks all and sundry in.

For years i have been trying to work out what it is that i dislike the most and it wasnt until i saw a slo mo of him recently  that the penny dropped.
He never ever puts his body on the line (go watch for yourelves0 when going for a ball he does not body line it but regularly reaches in with his arms with his body well away from contact same goes for when he tackles.
HE HAS ONE REDEEMING FEATURE AND THAT JUST AINT ENOUGH.IT NEVER HAS BEEN.

Let's face it. WAT has a point.

Oldies but goodies: How your club's veterans are tracking

Shane Edwards has had a full pre-season and looks set to match his career-best form after having injury problems last year. He spent a lot of time in the midfield in 2016 but with Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy traded in, expect to see more of Edwards' creativity up forward.

What, you rather keep him in the middle? Please

[WA Tiger]

Rather not keep him at all. Also, are you serious??? How many times do we hear this crap about Edwards?? He has been touted as our best small forward since he joined the club but he rarely plays there.

Which is why it's possibly a good thing he's going to spend more time there. I don't think he's going to reach great heights but if we finally leave him in the forward line he's going to have his best chance

Yes but we never do, that's what I am saying, every year it's the same, he is always talked about playing the forward role and he never does. It's been going on for years. I agree he needs to play there and be left there, lets hope this year he actually is. I mean how long did it take people to realise that Richo was more versatile in the wing.

The problem is that as a forward he doesn't kick enough goals or even provide enough goal assists. He also had the best clearance stats of any of our mids in 2015 which is why they were forced to play him more often than they wanted in the middle.
Last year his year ended in the preseason game when he injured the nerve plexus in his left arm in an innocuous incident. Even though he recovered well he lost all confidence and was next to useless for the year. I was hoping a trade to Adelaide for a second rounder would have happened but alas he is still with us. I hope he can improve from 2015 and take his game to a new level.
