Player Watch #10: Shane Edwards - Retiring at Seasons end

[This Is Anfield]

Been one of the highlights during a great period for Richmond but time waits for no one
However, will only be replaced when Sonsie, MRJ, Cumberland, Clarke and Banks are ready.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

He’s better off retiring effective immediately than playing with that disgraceful VFL team

Move him into a coaching role

Hes been poor but I can't see Dimma dropping him.

One of my favourites of all time. I remember when he was standing under highballs at CHB when he was all of 65kg when he was drafted. He took so long to develop but by his late 20's he was so, so good. That Geelong final where he was just about BOG was the highlight.

He was always a "cherry on top" player, but his hands and touch are gone. He used to have the best hands in the comp but has fumbled every third possession this year.

A true Richmond great. Happy for the coaches to play him and Cotchin as long as they want but the truth is both are probably in their final years baring a tremendous form uptick.

Sheddas drop off has been so sudden. Cotch u could see slowly declining but since shedda got his injury early last year he’s completely lost it

Thanks for everything titch

Been poor but i still want to see him get to 300, before retiring at the end of the season

Pathetic by some of you. Eat your own well and truly in force

How so? By saying he's dropped off?

Not a single poster has bagged him. Everyone appears truly upset that he’s declined.

Since when can’t we criticize a players form ffs

Apparently we can’t do that.

 

[tony__montana]

I still don’t think he’s quite done yet, he’s notorious for starting the season slowly.

Posters thanking him. Don’t be an idiot mate, you’re better than that

 

[Tygrys]

yep hate speech

He hardly played in 2020 though as well. So was fresh come finals when he came back. So it has been a while since he put a season together.

Which is the opposite of bagging him.

These posts telling people they are pathetic for commenting on a players decline are ridiculous.

You’re better than that.

You're pretty lost here.

Shane has been bad this year. I think most posters absolute adore him and are truly saddened by this loss of form. I for one am happy for Shane, Jack, and Trent to play as much footy as possible this year as true champions of the club. But the fact is that football is a business and if you're not competing, you should be developing.

How so saying Father Time stops for no one? Jesus mate even KB retired

It’s Round 3 lol

 

[tigerisland]

Everyone loves Shane. I hope he finds some form. None of us want to remember him like Jimmy Bartel and Stevie Johnson. He turns 34 this year.

 

[SunshineBoy]

It’s Round 3 lol

And again no one has bagged him

 

[DustinsGuns]

I still don’t think he’s quite done yet, he’s notorious for starting the season slowly.

Is he? I remember Joel Bowden was a classic slow season starter, but don't remember the same for Shane. Here is hoping you're right!

Might want to read through again. Last time I checked, saying he’s cooked amongst other things is bagging him

Personally I thought KB had another couple of years in him but Father Time catches up to everyone ,how the * is that bagging the player
