Bloody iriot zippers. Shedda b Uncle for Sausage, Stacka, Shai n Eggsy last thing we do is trade him out.Trade. Youth policy.
If he could go another 3, without many injuries he could rack up 300. We’ve only ever had 3 who’ve done it (Cloke played plenty for the Pies), but there’s 3 players in the current side who can.
His legs may slow done a little in the coming season or two but the mind and hands will be as sharp as ever. Long may Shane's reign continue
A couple of times a year now he does one just for old times sake!
But there was a time when it seemed like it might have been incurable
Fortunately that's ancient history now and instead we've been privileged to see some extraordinary skills from a class act
I'm sure not written with any disrespect TT but apparently he really hates that nickname if what I've heard over the years is true.
Regardless of that he's so great to watch and in the last few years I've wondered how much more he and the team could have achieved, if he'd been allowed to play to his strengths a lot sooner.
Let's hope he’s got a few more in him.
He was always a good footballer but showed glimpses not consistently high standard. My view has been he turned when we turned the corner and it’s because the stop start safe game we played up to 2016 was exactly the wrong style for a player like him.
The manic move forward style now is perfect for someone who creates like he does hitting moving players with his handball.
I reckon of all our champs, Sheds will go the longest.
no significant injuries (yes, I have both feet on a wooden floor).
he's an eyes, brain, hands footballer.
will stay in the middle until about 32 and then add 100 goals to his tally from a forward pocket
Congrats Sheds, its been a wonderful ride.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Should be "Twitch" Edwards. I love it when he gets the ball in traffic and twitches left and right and the opponents peel off in every direction and he then darts forward into open space and gets a clean low kick to a leading forward.
Used to frustrate the daylights out of me early on. Trying to play to expectations of what is what considered to be an AFL player.
Finally Dimma tells him he's not as good when he tries to play like anyone else and to be himself. In fact, when Dimma told the whole team to just go out there and 'play', we won the grand final. A fantastic moment of enlightenment from the coach under significant pressure.
Edwards playing his natural game has been sublime. Absolutely exquisite to watch and the player that elicits more involuntary 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from me than I reckon any other player ever has. Some of his visionary work has to be seen live to be believed. And then you have to watch the replay in slo-mo to make sure you weren't seeing things.
From whipping boy to genius.
