Walter is going to the Pies.

I just reckon you have to give this guy games.

Play him the rest of the season, he will have quiet ones, but absolutely has the talent to be low possession high impact player.

Desperately needs to be comfortable and used to playing above state league level.

Yep, has a lot to like.

Having said that he had a shocker last week and earned the demotion.

I reckon he is clearly above VFL level though.

Hope he leaves and goes somewhere better. Terrible treatment

1270

Heā€™s overrated imo

1271

Why would you hope a good player leaves the club? Thatā€™s Nino level nuffy posting.

So he kicks bags in the VFL playing as a forward and then gets selected off that performance to play AFL where they play him as a wing and then drop him and then he goes back to the VFL and kicks bags as a forward and then gets selected into the AFL and played as a wing and then dropped and then kicks bags in the VFL as a forwardā€¦.

Essendon fans are accused for overating thier players

1276

Every clubs supporters overrate their players.

Edwards is barely rated by most, they just want to see him get a chance in his best position.

Just a weird pointless comment.

But he has been given a chance and played in his position

Heā€™s been invisible for a few weeks and deserved to be dropped nothing wrong with going back to the VFL

Playing in our forward line at AFL level is a thankless task. Reckon last week was a horrible week to judge him on given the wind.

1280

At the start of the year yes, and he kicked goals.

Then we shifted him to the wing and faffed about with him in and out of the team. Even against Richmond he was playing up the ground for most of it.

Heā€™s a deep forward. Itā€™s obvious.

Heā€™s a deep forward in the VFL or WAFL, heā€™s nothing in the ones.

1284

Weird that he consistently kicks goals when played there then

If he were any good he would be getting a game in the worst side in the comp. Heā€™s good at this level and thatā€™s where he sits.
