Its time for Charlie Edwards

[Pugsley]

With the suspension of Hinge, it is time to reward this young fella.
He has been consistently performing in the SANFL and deserves his first AFL game.

It's time and if he isn't selected, he should be on the phone with his manager.
We have seen that our selectors are incompetent but the non selection of Edwards means someone needs to be fired.

Sorry didn't you hear, Brodie Smith has been playing strong footy.

 

[Pugsley]

Sorry didn't you hear, Brodie Smith has been playing strong footy.

I don't care what Brodie does. He can be a mentor for our young defenders in the SANFL.

 

[cleanhands]

Sorry didn't you hear, Brodie Smith has been playing strong footy.

That’s good

 

[Crowman32]

If Smith comes in ahead of edwards then this really illustrates one of the real problems we have with nicks coaching our club.

 

[TBM]

Nicks: “Brodie’s a huge part of our future”

The week he got recalled last year, when they should have debuted Oscar Ryan. I’m bracing for the same tomorrow night.

 

[1990crow]

Sack Nicks.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Im all for Edwards and Ryan. Both look the goods.

If the next few words aren’t “ to work on parts of his game” than this thread is misguided at best

He thinks they need 6 years like he does.

 

[spenze]

I think that may be your best post.

Not being a dick either, I’d have been stoked with that one.

 

[Cromulant]

I just mentioned it in the changes thread, but it feels like this years "Billy Dowling" situation.

He'll play after weve crashed and burned.

Yeah a really strong preseason game, hard not to pick him off the back of that.

 

[TBM]

Yeah, you'd hope he's strong against the Port SANFL team that are 8th currently after being bottom all last season. Not at all a rational reason to pick him over an Edwards or Ryan in a developing side though.

I'd say I can't believe he trotted out those words, but its MN so I can

 

[Jarman3]

Lachie Murphy playing some of the best footy of his career, too. Banging the door down. Sounds like he's next man up if we get another injury.

 

[George CantStandYa]

so we’ve got a 2023 first round draft pick in good form, with the size, skill that we need. Not only has he not played a game, he’s been overlooked for a player who is cooked and should have retired in 2024.

Sack Nicks

Bloke played a very strong game 2 and a half months ago against a reserves team in a trial game with no stakes. You can't just ignore that kind of form.

 

[FR0GGY]

Apparently not

He'd be better pressed to just not open his mouth. Every time he says something it's dumber than the last.

"Matthew, looks like the week for Edwards to finally get a crack?"
"Yeah look, it's between him and Brodie and Brodie played a cracking trial game 2 months ago. And Brodie's got that AFL experience that Charlie doesn't, and that's one of his work ons."
"So Charlie needs to play more AFL before you'll select him for AFL?"
"Yeah look, we've got a lot of guys playing great footy. Lachy Murphy is in the form of his life."
"Who said anything about Murphy?"
"Yeah Murph? Oh he's playing so well. He's also got that extra year of experience now so he's really tearing it up."

It's like the live version of Utopia.... "So Charlie needs to play more AFL before you'll select him for AFL?"

That was a head bobble of epic proportions.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So Charlie can only replace one of our young half backs, so not Hinge, Laird or Milera

How exactly is he going to get in the team ever?

Our only chance is for us to lose a string of games and fall out of the finals race

 

[Samcro24]

Charlie’s ok I spose, but can I interest you in a Smithers?

and according to Nixs currently in career best form.
