Shane Edwards [merged]

[one-eyed]

1. Shedda's platter

Richmond's goal assist king Shane Edwards put in a nomination for set-up of the year as he dominated the second term. He picked up 12 disposals, three inside 50s and kicked two goals, but it was his assist to Josh Caddy nearing half-time that came from the bottom of his trick bag. Appearing to have overrun the ball, Edwards then soccer-flicked the ball to a rampaging Caddy who converted from beyond 50 metres. It helped Caddy to one of four goals for the game and Richmond to its highest first-half score of the season. Edwards then re-produced his brilliance with a smart handball for Dan Butler in the third quarter, one of three goal assists for the game. His efforts saw him win the Yiooken Award for best on ground.

We all post things which in hindsight are utterly ridiculous and stupid .

I think I wrote once that Edwards will be the worst Richmond tiger to play 200 games .

Fair dinkum - this guy is a genius.  Could win the B&F this year .

Cant hold it too mucj against you. Took me a while to be convinced about Shedders. I actually recall a Dreamtime match, perhaps 12 or 13, where he really shone, and I was sold after that he was a genuine player.

Hes very mercurial. His best is absolute top shelf, but he has a blues as well. I think whats made him such a top player is just improving on thar ratio of class touches to shabby ones.

Best game I've seen him play, that I can remember anyway 
He seemed to be everywhere (haven't see the game a second time just yet) and always seemed to be in control of where the ball was going and yet only had 31 possies. Brownlow votes yet again

He’s getting better every year.

Weird for a bloke of his age but you are right.

Has always been able to produce magic. I was also critical of him in 2016 when he had a down year but then again who didn’t that season. Is a player you want to get the footy in his hands because he can make anything happen. Add in the fact he is a gun in the middle winning contested ball and clearances. Love his work!

He was rushed back too quickly in 2016. He had a broken hand if I recall correctly and yeah he would misfire all his handballs. But now fit he finds target by hand which I just can not believe. His in close quick hands to Butler was a prime example of that

Also had to deal with a fractured fibula IIRC at some point which derailed him a little.

Scary that our recruiters got another one right

Very funny WP. 
It’s Francis Jackson that was a useless recruiter and everyone knows it, especially every other club. 

As useless as FJ is, anyone can fluke some players even ol’ Betamax himself .

If we can keep this blokes body fresh and healthy we are in for a real treat over the next 2-3 years

Yep there's been some poor selections but also some gems. Not sure why people can't admit that

Was just pointing out that when you look at the team, that played last night and our VFL side it would seem we have a lot of flukes (using your word) out running around these days

Maybe someone's wrong and can't see that
