2013 SuperCoach Player Profile: Shane Edwards

[TheAnt]

Shane Edwards

Type:
Before being recruited Shane Edwards admitted he had 'never lifted a weight in his life'. He weighed 65kgs, he just got beaten in every 1 on 1 contest at ground level, by pre-season last year he weighed 81 kilos. He has become a small foward-come-winger at times and will rotate with Knights for stints in the middle. His pressure acts have increased and he's gone from a whipping boy at Richmond to now slowly becoming a relevant Supercoach player.

Fanplanner Price: 428,600
Position: F
Stats:
9th for total goal assists
29 goals
2012 Supercoach Average: 80.6
2012 Centuries: 5
Age: 24

Thoughts:
I'm gonna make a big call, but I reckon Titch is ready to take the next step and become a premium or very close to one. I would've loved for him to be MID/FWD. He's worked extremely hard on disposal efficiency the last two summers and this summer will be no different, if he bulks on 3-4 more kilos he will get much more midfield time. I can see him pushing 20-25 disposals on the wing. He had a poor start, but I see that all changing.
My Verdict:
After what I just said, I'm locking him. I could be very wrong, but i've watched every tigers game this year and if anyones going to break out big time it's going to be Titch.

2013 Supercoach Score Prediction:
97

I gave you reasons so you can think what you want of them.

Nice work Ant!
Reckon Edwards definitely has some improvement in him, tbh I would be happy if he could average 90. With the addition of Knights and Edwards (Aaron), he could get under the defenders guards and Edwards will also pinch hit in the midfield.

I hope you're right with the 97 prediction. If he's averaging that then he is playing some great footy!
Would have to play more mid/wing to get those sort of numbers imo. Not sure if their is room for him to play much more than he already is. Will spent most of his time up front which will make it harder for him to score so big

If Titch averages 97, Tiges play finals.

He was on the "smokey maybe i'll think about it possibly POD radar" but 97 that makes him a lock.

Now i really am going to have an extreme scrute over him in the PS.

Dont think our finals chances rest on Titch's supercoach avg lol but yea u would assume that if he's scoring like that then we are playing pretty good footy

Cant see him going 97, 90ish at most IMO.

Nice write up though, his back half of the year was very good, and I reckon he can improve again. Watchlist for me.
