Given he's the same age as those kids, is that really such a bad thing??
When he's playing in a team full of much more mature, harder bodied players, where they draw all the attention, I'd say everyone else is jumping the gun just a little bit.....
Ed never really looked like a footballer on the field. Parker does.
Ed's game against the Gold Coast for the dogs was good - 22 disposals, 2 goals and a pretty positive approach to the action when he didn't have the ball. It looked as though he was improving game by game, but the stats from the Dogs Melbourne game suggest he went off the boil (didn't see that one).
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

Ed broke his finger in the first quarter of that game, he played through it but was eventually subbed off.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
Before Stevie Wright we had another Stevie, Stevie Hoffman I will never forget Queens Birthday weekend 1970 v Collingwood 17 points down 3 minutes to go step up Stevie the rat, crowd invades the ground when we hit the front siren still hadn't rang, it finally rings just as Peter Mckenna was about to mark 30 meters out. Next to the Grand Final win my favourite game.

That sounds just as good as Nick Davis' 4 goal final quarter effort against Geelong in the semis of 2005.
That'd be my (and many other RWOers) favourite quarter of football
