poor effort crows and craigy

Bullsh!t, poor effort by Edwards if anyone. They told him they couldnt guarantee him a farewell game, they were honest.

What happens if he does a hammy at training this week!! Will they give him a farewell game when he recovers. BTW I hope for his sake it doesn't happen.

The mob (majority) still has a voice.

Old mate peer pressure hey Craigy.

[NO-MERCY]

The most under-rated & most consistant player ever for the Crows in my book & can't get a send off game.
AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB.
The real bad times are just beginning for the Crows.
A mass exit is my prediction.

[Booney]

LMFAO - it gets better!!

The club crumbles to a players request. I dont care who it is or how many games he has played. This is GOLD ,where is Gingernuts when I want him?

Why? It isn't one of our players, it isn't my club and I don't expect this sort of stuff would happen outside a club in turmoil. For a club to bow down to a player is poor form and if and when it happens at my club I will be just as scathing. So, does he need to train next week to get his farwell game?

The real disgraces are the idiots calling Edwards a cry baby and a dummy spitter. Edwards has been a loyal servant of the club for 321 matches, and some of the comments made about him in the past 24 hours have been totally uncalled for.

*ahem* 320.

Clearly this isn't a good situation for the club nor Edwards and there must be someone that caused this "Im going" - "No you're not" situation. So who cocked it up,club or player?

[pigskin]

REB & Booney need to take a good hard look in the mirror, and realise that they perhaps have zero idea about the circumstances leading to this decision, & just what Tyson has put his body through to play 320 games for the AFC. He is undisputadly 1 of the top 5 players that has ever put on a Crows jumper & should be thanked accordingly. If his form warrented dropping (which is up for debate) then so be it, but for a club to deny the bloke the chance to take his boys out on AAMI Stadium 1 last time & give the loyal fans a chance to say goodbye as a player, not rolled around the boundry in a ute, was (& I say was because they have come to their collective senses), an absolute disgrase.

It has since come to light that he has been carrying a hip injury for the last 4 weeks, but continued to put his hand up to play, because lets face it, a 1/2 fit Edwards is better then anything we have in the SANFL.

Show some respect, & even if you dont agree with what is going on, Simply say "Fantastic career, & thanks for the 16 years of amazing footy" To hide behind a key board & take pot shots at a bloke integridy is a true sign of your own inadiquencies as most probably either blokes who have never played footy, or were B Graders at local level at best

Haha - Pot shots? Why should I thank a bloke who fronts up for a club I seriously dislike? I acknowledge he is a quality bloke on and off the field but this case, even a Collingwood fan could admit, stinks of a bloke who spat it beacuse he was dropped, fair enough. Then the club has done a U-Turn to allow him a farewell game.

Yep, all rosy this one.

[Choccies]

Don't need to thank him Booney but don't really need to comment then either if its a club you dislike so much. That's why it was taken as a pot shot, whether it was or not...

I agree it doesn't appear rosy but is there anything wrong with the club admitting they erred and reversing their decision ?? It's a bold move and whether it was done to keep him happy or to keep the swell of angry supporters happy who really cares in teh end. I think all parties have made blunders on this one...
