I for one thought he had had a dummy spit but now I see why he would have left. BUT WHY, TELL SOMEONE! He just ruined his reputation is so many peoples eyes.
Read the full story guys as Tyson told at least 5 people at the Crows including Craig & Goodwin, deserves all the support he needs.
McLeod must have pointed the bone at Edwards.![]()
Wish we knew at the time. Feel guilty for my feelings on him when he left. Especially not seeing him in the final send off.
Hope he is welcome around the club a bit more now.
I hope you get carded you prick, that stuff isn't welcome here.
I was there and his farewell match was one of the few highlights of the year, probably only beaten by the Geelong game (which I was unable to attend due to being out of town). The atmosphere at the game was amazing and confirmed that on our day we could compete goal for goal with a quality team (Freo were second at the time). Everytime Tyson got his hands on the ball the crowd went nuts and so they should. Knowing what I know now it, it is probably one of his greatest efforts to play so well one last time!
I for one wish him all the best with whatever he wants to pursue.
In remission, so sounds positive
Complete shock, sheds a completely new light on his drop in form from 2009 and eventual omission in 2010.
I wonder if this is the reason why it took Craig so long to drop him? Amazing news from Edwards, and great to hear he's in remission. Best of luck for the future.
"It drained me more than I thought it would," said the midfielder. "I probably didn't respect the whole thing enough and just how big a toll the surgery and after-effects would have on me.
"It was a huge effort for me to get out on the park each week when my body was still healing and recovering from the surgery, with my energy levels being so low."
I think the veterans all knew that 2010 was going to be their last year, though I know what you mean about Edwards' durability.Well, this news certainly explains a lot about Tyson last year. But it also raises a few questions. Anyone else find it strange that he commenced training a week after surgery?
What was his doctor's advice? What did the club medicos think? Was he receiving counselling? Was there any serious analysis of his physical, mental and emotional fitness to play league football?
At the end of 2009, I would have backed TE to be the oldie who could kick on for a couple of seasons. There was something Bradley-esque about his durability and consistency from week to week. I found his disastrous plummet in form out of tune with this, even knowing that, often, the end does come suddenly. I wonder if the situation hadn't been dealt with in what looks like a bit of 'she'll be right, mate' mode that Tyson couldn't have laid low for six months on the LTI list and then reappeared for the second half of the season? I wonder whether he might have been playing this year?
My selfish inner Crows supporter mentality say's we were denied a very emotional retirement game and perhaps something to build camaraderie around. But that would have been using his misfortune to advance our own cause.
We were NOT denied that at all. I was there - it was fantastic.
Fantastic for those who didn't judge him too harshly at the time I guess.
