Past #27: Aaron Edwards - drafted w/ #82 in '06 ND - traded to Tiges for #74 in '12 ND - 100 goals @ WCE

[Oneout Oneback]

Azza X 10 than Hansen.
azza X 100 than Thomas.
Still no good.

 

[Moti]

Such a peripheral issue, will make next to zero difference if we don't fix the six other glaring issues.

 

[The Frogman]

Should be in the team.
ATM the pros outwiegh the cons, but mainly will give a red hot crack.
The forward line isnt working for the roos and a strong, leading forward who hits the ball/contest hard is what you need (young forwards just arent up to it atm imo).
Seen him saturday night in the 2's definately up to it, kicked goals, took strong marks, lead well. Deserves his chance, esp now.
(although quite happy if he played for nth ball as he makes them so much better)

Absolute crap.

 

[toepoker]

At least when Azza lines up for goal i have a reasonable amount of confidence that he might actually kick straight. And if anyone says he can't make the distance from 40 they're talking crap. 50 I'll cop.

 

[tazaa]

Was unlucky to be dropped but he wouldn have influenced the match.
Like i said a good depth player not. Edwards is like a circle. wtf yeh
Doesn get any better. Doesn get any worse. You know what youll get from him. Theres ups down and thats it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

great game by azza. was unlucky to be dropped initially then kicked 10 in the VFL to earn promotion and then kicks 6 against the dees to cement his spot in our side


well done azza

 

[Shinboner Schem]

Yep, he did a very good job today

 

[roos_fanatic08]

look what happens when you place him close to goal

Yep. Great game by Azza. Dont necessarily agree he was unlucky to be dropped - he has had ample opportunity to prove himself over the years. The time has come for Azza to put 3-4 good games together in a row.

Agree but Hansen needs to show the exact same...

 

[NMFC 1811]

Was stiff to be dropped in the first place. 10 goals in the VFL, call up to the seniors and a 6 goal haul. Good week for the original tattoo magoo.

 

[Teffy]

The GOOD judges had him playing out of the goal square 3 years ago.

 

[RooHooDoo]

I wasn't at the game, did he finally play deep for a large part of a game?

 

[Errol Street]

Tackled well, had a hand on more than a few goals.

Hansen was ordinary and if he hadn't of bobbed up with those 2 strong mark and goals would have had his own thread by now.

Yes!

Think again mate.

He beat Frawley early and then did alright on Warnock. Check the replay.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Edwards was gold, and he has been good for a while.

Is there anti Hansen shit here?

 

[salamander]

Well done Azza.

IIRC his highest number of goals in an AFL game prior to today was 4?

Happy to be corrected on this.

 

[stoja]

please brad scott, leave him there and let him do his thing!

 

[tazaa]

Can we afford to play Petrie and Edwards both out of the square where their both so excellent??

 

[giantroo]

Well done Azza.

Happy to be corrected on this.

That is correct. Has kicked 4 on numerous occasions but never kicked more than 4.

 

[scottywiper]

Second best game he has played, behind the Hawks final.
Much more like the form he showed when booting 100 for West Coast from a wing that year.

 

[shintemaster]

He was great and yes was good from the goalsquare but seriously people, it's not a conspiracy. He is simply not tall enough or agile enough to be a full time lock down goalsquare FF. It will not work against every team all the time. I really rate Aaron when he's up and about but pinning career hopes on him being a starting FF is not a great move IMO.

highlights coming in about 5 minutes...
