Shane Edwards
Titch had an outstanding year, and came sixth in the best and fairest. He had a shoulder reconstruction over the pre-season so he hasn't been doing any competitive stuff. We're looking at him playing more inside this year. Has the potential to be an A-grader.
Well my report on Shane last night is pretty easy.
Forget about it and improve next game.
Well. Slow start standard wise for Shane during the NABs but that said, he is finding the footy and taking them on and given he is a known slow starter to seasons for some reason I'm feeling he's going to be good again this season.
It might help if he fixes up that horrid kicking technique of coming around the footy though, that's just asking for grubbers.

terrible 2011. the leopard does not change its spots.
he reverted back to type having had a passable yr in 2010.
does not find enough ball, absolutely butchers the ball far to often, and is just too small.
regularly fails to play within his limitations, regualarly fails to play percentages, and lacks composure.

Terrible 2011 after such a promising 2010. Did not hit a target all year and probably the worst kick for goal on the run or from a set shot in the league .
If he can sort this out he'll ge very valuable to the side because he finds alot of the ball. If not he is growing and has a terrific motor so at worst I'd start training him up to become that number one tagger for the side as he'll hurt the opposition as well as nullifying a player.

lol finds a lot of the ball. i must have missed those odd games where he got 20 plus touches in a game.
yep he has a motor its about the only thing hes got going for him. cant hurt a side if you cant use the ball well.
hess a small hes had 5 yrs and i know his skillset will not improve.i can just see him tagging bigger bodied players they will just run over him more than happens now.
i would take jeromey webberley over this dud.
5 yrs not enough for some it seems no they need the mandatory 7 yrs before the pennty drops. ahh only at richmond.

'Tich' switch (http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6301/newsid/128222/default.aspx)
RICHMOND midfielder Shane Edwards has been known as 'Tich' for good reason. When he came over from North Adelaide he was so skinny he could fit down a drainpipe on the Punt Rd grandstand.
But now, after another summer of hard yakka in the gym and on the tooth, he's ready for a new nickname. Edwards has put on 7.5kg since last season, bringing his weight to 81.5kg.

lol and we know how accurate that statement is. how much did he weigh last yr . oh between 78 and 79kg i hear you say. so if hes 81kg he has put on a couple of kg this offseason turning him into an adonis. hhhhaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh.
so we go into 2012 with basically the same skinny poorly skilled runt we have had since 2007.
Found his niche the past couple of weeks.
I still like him as a player despite his well advertised deficiencies. Very smart in traffic. Hopefully he goes on with it.
