    Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Ed Richards

    The kid has poise. You can see that he is actively trying to do something creative and effective with the footy - he doesn't do the "make it someone else's problem" type of disposal when he is under pressure, but rather takes the time to try and squeeze out the best option.

    He is a very good chance to be a long term player.

            Has the same poise and time that I remember from a young Bob Murphy.

                He looked a bit like Gilbee running out of defence and spearing passes to teammates yesterday. Apart from the redhair of course.

                It's the way he lays it out in front for them to run onto it I think.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    In front of us he did a perfectly timed bump in order to beat his opponent to the ball. That was the “this kid has something special” moment for me - lightly built kids just don’t do that.

                        Kept finding myself saying "good boy" over and over again yesterday.

                        He's a gem.

                            A very classy player is young Ed but does the one percenters too. A great draft choice. Thank you Dal.

                                It's pretty rare for a running defender to not shy away from the tough stuff. He has a bit of mongrel in him if you ask me

                                            I was standing so I had to really lean over the fence in front of me in order to do it.

                                                    I love his repeat efforts. Kept trying to scrap for the ball, tackle and harass. His turn of speed is exactly what we need as well. To top it off he is a nice neat kick. Another game like that against Essendon and I'd be extending his contract ASAP.

                                                            Looks much better in the tri-colours.
