Shane Edwards

Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

What about a bit of love for Tich today?
I thought he contributed well and did some good stuff in the clinches.
(And he also won a few ruck contests too when coming over the top as third man - just as a bonus!)

As his bggest critic, must admit he wasn't bad today.

Hopefully that is his minimum standard going forward.

Still reckon he sux, but at least he was less-sucky. ;D
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

Meh. Cut out some of the dumb turnovers lately so not as noticeably bad but still doesn't do enough for a mid in his 5th year. Only 12 touches - not enough. 20 should be the minimum each week or else he's just holding us down and he needs to be replaced given how much time he spends in the midfield rotations.
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

I swore that I wouldn't abuse him today and would only say kind thing like "keep trying shane" "good effort shane" 'good boy shane' etc etc and it seemed to work. He doesn't always achieve what he sets out to do but he does try and he does read the play well. WELL DONE TITCH.
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

Still is Playing like its his 1st game, the set shot at goal in the 3rd was very ordinary and the kick for goal 20 meters out still found a way to hit the post.
Not the answer for the future and sadly Foley looks the same.
We might've won today, but there are players that won't make beyond next year
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

I'd give him a score of a pass for the day. Was he playing a defensive role because he seemed to applying a lot of pressure and laying tackles?
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

It's like, every time it seems like there's an opportunity for him to do something good, a pick up and give, a pass, anything really, he seems to stuff it up. And I thought his mediocre pace was exposed totally today. Went on quite a few chases and looked like Wile E. Coyote.
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

Does the sublime only to completely balls it up with poor finishing, I'd be shopping him around at this stage as I believe there is still some trade value.
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

Like sooo many of our players when we win we seem to look at them with rose coloured glasses. He's simply not up to it.

And thats why there is such criticism of him Paul.
ive been a fan of his but hes not doing himself any favours ,after working hard to get the ball, his disposal/decision making is poor.
That missed shot in the 3rdqtr _ why kick the thing along the ground ?
It was lazy thinking

Every one kicks it along the ground.

You can say that about every side. ::) ::)
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

I listened to the game on the radio, and every time he got it, the commentator's had a "oh no " he has turned it over, or, "oh no he has been caught, or :oh no he has ran into trouble, or "oh no, he has put him under the pump.

The bloke is not up to it, no vision, no skill, no real pace, he has nothing to offer.
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

If one was to do a montage of Edward's best play he'd be up there with Dale Thomas for highlights, unfortunately if you packaged his lowlights he'd look like a reincarnation of JON. He's at a point now where you could safely say there's little chance he can iron out his deficiencies, I think if we're serious about this year's trade period then he'd have to be at the top of the list of trade-bait candidates.

Whether or not he is up to it is a matter of opinion but to say he has no vision or pace is wrong. He has some of the best vision and hands in the team.

I don't know who you were listening to because they must have been at a different game . he played as a defensive forward on kennelly and did a great job . Was constantly working in the traffic , some of his release work with his hands was great . Probably had 6-7 tackles . Chased really hard out of defence pressuring the kicker and had one great run down tackle on Kennelly .

He wasn't our best player but it was a good team game by edwards today .
 
Re: Shane Edwards (Merged)

Saw a slightly different Eddy today. He took some serious angry pills, but wasn't unnecessary or undiciplined. Just hit bodies and contests hard and punched above his weight. Not a stellar game, but a different style.
