And Box Hill would have been Hawthorn fans answer to that question about Zac Dawson last year.

Good luck to the kid.


He;s not a 'Zac Dawson'...:rolleyes:

But good luck to him
 
Good luck to him. Great hands, very sticky hands, but not a very good kick at all. use his hands at half forward and get your running brigade around him.

He's pretty fast around the ground too.
 
In my opinion, Edwards was a player of mediocre skills who also had a pretty lousy attitude if other people are to believed ..

No big loss, and good luck to him if he gets another go at Footscray, but in reality, he had to be delisted by the club.
 
i could never believe he had such a bad year, had so much potential. Just didn't have a footy brain and the ability to read the play, opposition and team mates. Was a bit of a 1 trick pony, lead and hope for the best, didn't have good anticipation as a defender. Good athlete with good skills though.

I think you contradicted yourself there - 'so much potential' but then basically said he lacked in virtually every facet of the game.


For mine, disappointed he couldn't make it with us as he game with a reputation as a forward with a bit of an aggressive edge. But I have to say, in the games I saw him play really don't show me much to get excited about and was a very dodgy shot at goal.


Also, seemed a bit short for a key forward.
 
Not really, I said he was a great athlete, build and had good skill but no smarts. Thought he might have come on this year but in a way went backwards. Perhaps a bit like Jordan Russell but not as good and Russell is improving a lot.
 
What's his height and weight?
Before you get too excited, remember he was delisted AHEAD of Cloke, and Fisher is still on the list.......and we need a KPP forward.
 
It has been made clear by Eade that he sees the potential in Edwars playing as a backman?? Now because I live in SA I don't have the luxury of seeing the bullants but did see the VFL GF this year. From what I saw of Edwards he was slow off the mark, didn't read the play and was caught watching the player with no idea of the location of the ball. Can't remem if he was playing on Wundke or Tat Edwards from the Kangas but he did not look too good??? Thoughts??

Cloke has now been delisted and was only after as he had contract that blues will have to pay out and Fisher is also contracted otherwise would have been delisted too as he is a hack. Take Rodan, delisted by Richmond ahead of all their hacks on list yet managed to become a pretty decent player at another club, geting delisted doesn't mean you can't make it.
