Shane Edwards
Gun loved Broderick.
Geez the Roy's lost Timmy Pekin, Grant Lawrie, John Blakey, Butch Gale, Doug Barwick, Mat Dundas, Paul Broderick, Jamie Elliot, Paul Roos, Dicky Osborne, Doc Wheildon, Alistair Lynch and Gary Pert over the course of a handful of seasons.
No wonder they fell in a heap.
The journo who asked if he is going to play 400 hasn’t read PRE.
The mark of a really good player is to be watching the game and see him make a move or play in the blink of an eye and not register what just happened. Shane's sidestep, going through gaps that aren't there and accurate passing / sleight of hand to advantage at times are his hallmarks so he is well worth his 300

Edwards: From beginnings to belonging
Jack Riewoldt meets with Shane Edwards' parents to discuss his football journey.
Ugle Hagan said he loved Shane
He said Edwards sent him a message the day he completed year 12 congratulated him for being the 1st indigenous person in his family to finish year 12.
We are a club with top people.
Our President proves how good we are.

He was asked how different when he was drafted to now, hardly winning any games etc.
His response was if we didn't have those bad years we wouldn't have picked up Cotch and Dusty (add Rance to that).
Goes to show how early draft picks, selected well, developed and coached well can transform your club.
Food for thought over the next few years?

No doubt it would be mentioned on here somewhere, however Shedda at the time was the only player all our recruiters agreed on , rated him much higher then a second rounder .
I’ll always remember Shedda as the player even his own fans took 10 years to realise how good he is , he’s clean and quick hands would be as good as I’ve seen , but to me Shedda will go down as the most underatted footballer in the AFL era . Best of luck in the NBA

They certainly did
I remember Francis Jackson on draft function night in 2006 when he did possible first round selection he had Edwards in his presentation with Riewoldt, Ben Reid, Nathan Brown, Brent Renouf, James Seller.
Francis was keen but wanted key position as priority as think there was depth in midfield picks plus thought Edwards might still be a chance at 2nd pick while the KPP he liked would not be.
Edwards always had outstanding football creative IQ, we just had to wait until his and Richmond players ability matched his ambition. His handballing last 5+ years is just amazing.

Love Shedda
Shedda spoke beautifully at the presser - he’s a class act.
But fwiw I didn’t get the sense one way or the other about his intentions - and remain convinced that this will be his last year.
During seasons 2019-20 I genuinely expected he’d have been headed for 400 games - he was playing so well and it was often said here that he was actually improving virtually each year. But time seems to have caught up quickly since last year and for his own legacy I reckon he knows that it is time to look to the future and his idea of getting into recruiting.
Bloody champ!
I was thinking the same thing.
My memory of the 2006 Draft is that Adelaide we very keen on him.

Thanks Willo
That's excellent viewing, Jack does a great job interviewing Shanes Parents. A great insight into what has shaped Shanes abilities.
Well worth watching.
Don't know about at least 2 players drafted by the same club both playing 300 games for that club, but Geelong's 2001 draft haul had:
Jimmy Bartel - 305 games for Geelong
James Kelly - 273 games for Geelong, 40 for Essendon for 313 total
Gary Ablett - 247 games for Geelong, 110 for Gold Coast for 357 total
Steve Johnson - 253 games for Geelong, 40 for GWS for 293 total
So 3 players played over 300 games, with a fourth at 293.
Geelong smashed that draft.
When was the last time 2 players drafted in the same draft at the same club both played 300 games for that club?
Brodders17 answered it above - Geelong also in 2006 with Selwood and Hawkins. Port have a chance with Boak and Gray also from 2006.
