He started in the middle at the 1st bounce ..... was still galloping around during the 2nd before I flicked over to the Flying Circus.

We really need him to come on. Simpkin and LDU need help.

I’m realist . He’s flat footed ,small & does not offer much in the modern game . Great clubman , great teammate , great footy brain & great to have around the club . I wish him all the best in his future coaching career .

 

[Ashley B]

Surely CCJ to come in and stop calling me Shirley

Higher minutes than previously. Would still blow up at afl level, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Edwards was the consensus number 1 pick though.

 

[William Caresser]

Edwards was the consensus number 1 pick though.

Just as a matter of interest, was that off the back of games solely for Mentone Grammar if that's where he went? Or was it also following TAC games?

 

[Themanbun]

Edwards was the consensus number 1 pick though.

Watching them at the time Jai was out and out the best pick available IMO. I reckon the Hawks did well in helping others to think Edwards was the no.1.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Edwards was the consensus number 1 pick though.

He was. He showed heaps for Sandy and for school footy in the half a dozen games prior to the MSD. He was leaping over packs and clunking marks.

I have no idea what we’ve done to that prospect, because he doesn’t even get to contests let alone impact them. I don’t think I’ve seen him take a contested mark since he put our colours on.

Bit of an indictment on our development that he hasn’t even fired a shot.

It's not a one way street - it's not only what the club has done to him, it's also what HE DOES.

Having been at the ground, one interpretation of Jacob's game is that he just doesn't want it - he took one mark in qtr 1 in a nice transition play, kicked a goal when it didn't matter, and otherwise (a) wandered around looking like he didn't know where to go, and (b) fell on his backside at a few centre bounces.

And it happens - all the time - kids take a look at the AFL environment and conclude they don't want to be in it.

That's the generous interpretation - the alternative is that he's just not at the standard

 

[osaka mick]

The VFL site for a replay of the game is a disgrace. They showed set shots for goals only, and very little highlights. Pathetic!!

Wardlaw is not ready to play as a centre bounce AFL midfielder

His burst from stoppages is great, but it was noticeable that his disposal got distinctly ragged as the game passed half time

Patience
