Writing was on the wall after Goody beat him to the punch. Will be remembered a true champion of the game. If you need reminding go watch his 300th game. Well done Tyson.
Re: Tyson Edwards Retires
Was he dropped? Then decided to quit? If so disappointing attitude, however correct decision all the same. Effective immediately tells me he wasn't happy with being dropped, if so that is not a great way to go out!
Congratulations on a fantastic career. One of the all time greats of the AFC and will be remembered fondly amongst most supporters.

Sad to go out that way.
Surely if he has been dropped, and subsequently retired, there could have been a 'fake injury' to prevent a Westies run around and then give a massive final game send off in our next home game.
Ridiculous that he isn't given a final game post retirement announcement, especially given our season is over.
Surely
An absolute champion of the game MUST be given an appropriate on-field send off.
This could be managed better surely???

Re: Tyson Edwards Retires
Really wouldn't surprise me if the club said to Tys a few weeks back that he'll be dropped back to the SANFL, Edwards said, give me a few weeks, if I can't find form, I'll retire.
....
Terrific servant of the club and a ledgend.

So I assume that means he isnt playing this weekend? In a way it is a shame that he didnt get a last proper home game.

WOW!
Very Damien Martyn of him

Shit, that is sudden! I thought he may of atleast had one final game in front of the home fans. This has been an extremely sad week, and end of an ara for our club. Apparantley has retired immediatley because he was dropped for this weeks game. Shit.

AA are suggesting he wanted to go out next week in a home game against Freo and the club said no.
If so, that's pretty disappointing for him.

Re: Tyson Edwards Retires
Tap on the shoulder, or maybe he just saw the writing on the wall in terms of his own form and the reactions from inside the club. Perhaps also lost his drive once he realised that September was no longer on the cards.
To be honest, I'm not surprised. I think posters on this board are a bit hyper-reactive in their statements about the Crows being a very conservative club. A lot of the observations that are made on this board are being made in the club themselves. And when they aren't acted upon immediately, we assume the club hasn't seen the same thing. The difference is they have to apply these changes in actuality and the weight of such decisions leads them to (rightfull imo) be cautious.

Wow I am in shock!!
I agree TLF8. He deserves one last game so the fans can say goodbye.
But gee, I didn't see this coming at all.
Would like to hear what Tyson has to say before speculating about him being dropped or whatever,
This is certainly a massive shock though. I mean he was clearly struggling this year, but to go out like this is very strange.
Congratulations on a sensational career. A fantastic team man. One of the very best to play for our footy club. He'll be missed.

Re: Tyson Edwards Retires
That would be my guess.
The boys on 5AA say that surely the club would have given him a home farewell game to say goodbye if that was the case.
Very confusing in that respect.
Correct decision though for him to retire. Sadly he's gone 1 season too long.
One of the greats of the club though and like all Crow fans, I thank him for the memories over a very long period!!

Well done Edwards on a fantastic career! I am also shocked as I thought this would happen at the end of the season.
Two champs retire in two days - one of the shit things about sport!

Apparently he's named for West Adelaide?
Very disappointing if he's retired "immediately" because he was going to be dropped.
Sad, sad day.
