All three quite expendable.

agree.
edwards whole career has borderd on mediocre/average.  the only yr he really had some hurt factor about his game was in 2012 where he kicked what 30 goals.
he does get clearances came 4th i think for us last yr but this just highlights to me at just how poor across the board we are in this area. his clearance rate worked out to be about 3 a game which  is in fact nothing special.

newman should have retired last yr is not the answer forward and is just too slow down back.

king sheesh how poor are the rest of our small forwards if jake is the answer. most laud him as a defensive forward yet he lays few tackles , doesnt consistently kick goals and is very limited in the roles he can perform.
we got jake in 07 for what should have been a short term upgrade on others, it is inconcievable with his skill set and for his type that he has lasted to now.

Edwards should be played forward as simple as that with very occasional stints on the ball. If he can't score goals then pressure must come on his spot from the likes of Lloyd but Shane must be played forward.

SHANE EDWARDS (Richmond)

State of play: Richmond has opened talks to secure Edwards, with a two-year deal believed to be on the table. Like former Tiger Matt White last year, Edwards could attract offers from teams looking to inject pace into their midfield or half-forward line. But Edwards, 25, is unlikely to be aggressively targeted until later in the year, if he remains unsigned.

What would it take? Edwards is likely to get between $300,000-350,000 to stay at Richmond, so rival clubs might have to offer up to $400,000 to sign him. A three or four-year deal could also be used as bait.

What compensation would Richmond get? End-of-second-round or third-round pick.

We say: Will re-sign with Richmond.

Absolute joke if this hack get's a three-year deal, even bigger joke if they shell out 350k for it. This club never learns. pee him off already and get a half-decent pick while we still can.

I'd offer Shane a 2 year deal at 350k which would be reasonable.
If a SA club offers 3 then good luck to him.

Newie and Kingy I expect will retire.

AFL Website carrying an interview with Newy today saying he is planning on playing on in 2015

If the Club are serious about making tough decisions then they will not allow this to happen IMHO

Titch isn't worth $35 Let alone 350k.
I can see the club panicking over what happened with Matt White and how he and his club are performing this year and knee jerking to keep this list clogger at the club for a few more years.
I hope I am wrong.
