The Umpires had an Optometrist sponsorship at one stage did not do much good for them.

Yeah I hope he gets there also, needs to play 6 more (out of a minimum 9 games to go). I didn’t realise he has only missed 1 game so far this year.
This is it. we are not gifting him 300, we are hoping he finds better form, as we are a better team with ShEdwards playing well than without him.
Everyone wants to pretend that younger Edwards is miraculously coming back. He was ageing well until this year - he got slow real fast this year. He's not the first and wont be the last. A lot of romantics here. I loved what Edwards has done for the club and what the club has done for Edwards. However I wouldn't be gifting him games, its been clear from a few rounds into 2022 that the game has passed him by.
Edwards can try to regain form in the VFL just like George and FAarts

I think that the decline has hit is true. Edwards always made his game from running from contest to contest. He's struggling to do that now. Well nurse him to 300, but unless he can find a gear.....shedda, my dear shedda, the time has come.
I fought for you from the days in the burgers, where your hands looked so sublime. But father time is coming, rapidly.

Shedda, Dusty, Cotchinator, Lamblett all struggling to get anywhere near their form of recent years. We're nursing club champions through the season hoping that something clicks. Got a feeling that we'll be wiped in straight sets come finals time if they can't find some decent form.
Agree those players haven’t reached their previous heights….. but we have won 7 out of the last 8 and the only loss was by a goal. Granted we haven’t played the top sides - its still a decent form line. Something is working.
True, problem is we've looked awful shaky in plenty of games this year n finals are another beast entirely. We've been doing a bit of renovating on the run all of this year n getting games into Gibber, Moju, Miller, Clarke, Dow, Biggie etc during this season will stand us in good stead for the future.
Longer the season goes on without our best players being able to find some solid n consistent form I get the feeling that we'll struggle to find any elevation when finals arrive.
He looks to be grinding into some sort of form to me. Maybe I'm not expecting peak Edwards. I'm not a Ross hater but prefer Edwards on any upward trend atm.
Our geriatrics will be screwed down now. We'll see how Shedda goes over the next few weeks.

Hopefully he has been carrying something. Core strength was lacking on Thursday. Just kept ending up on the ground and out of the contest / unable to apply second efforts on Thursday.
The creative ones get more opportunity because they're rare.
Despite obviously being in decline, Shedda still ranks very high in terms of goals assists.
It's looking like a last hurrah but am hopeful the champ can squeeze out a bit more genius yet cause when he's gone he'll be missed.

A couple of nice things but so many bad. His lightning handballs just aren't hitting the mark anymore. I put it down to him having lost that yard of pace so having to rush his disposals more. In 1 play he couldn't quickly move laterally, he was like a truck turning. 5 games to go and then he can get a deserved send off.
