Re: Shane Edwards - 300th game this week

I don’t have a problem with him getting to 300. Sometimes you carry champs along in their prime.

We should have players knocking him out but if your waiting for RCD to be that player you’ll be waiting for a while until he can find a level of consistency in the vfl.

Some players might have their deficiencies like Edwards back in the day but he didn’t ever struggle in the vfl like many of our youngsters that we have like RCD and Martyn etc etc. 
The club that keeps giving.

Sonsie should have another 6-10 games in him instead of Edwards.

And I'd rather be playing RCD too regardless of VFL form.

Will retire at the end of the season.

Is that next week or at the end of the finals?

Well I think we all expected it to happen this season. What a career and what a player he became throughout our hot streak. He really allowed our game to work with his handballs that just tore the opposition apart.
Will be missed ! I hope he can stay at the club in some capacity.

Congratulations on a great career mate. Very happy when he got AA.

The correct call and for me personally there is sadness in knowing he went 6-12 months too long. I'd prefer if he retired immediately after his 300th. Think we should be playing someone else ahead of him going into a finals campaign without a second life up our sleeve.

I actually think Edwards will be the sub.

Our expected finals side when fit will be what the side is currently.


Martin in for Edwards who will be sub and push George out.
Grimes in for Gibcus.

So
Ins Martin, Grimes
Out Castagna, Gibcus and Edwards (sub)
Go Tigers!

So many fond memories but he game that consigned the Crows to last after having 5 or 6? weeks out was scintillating in 2020.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Has been working with the recruiting team and is interested in that as a career after footy.
