Triple Richmond premiership star Shane Edwards has another career pending at Punt Road when his playing days are over.

Edwards, a 33-year-old veteran of 281 games with the Tigers, seems set to make the full-time move into recruiting after doing a fair amount of work experience in that department at the Club.

And, according to Richmond’s national recruiting manager, Matt Clarke, he is well equipped to be successful in the role.

“Shane’s been with us for a few years now,” Clarke said on the post-draft episode of the Talking Tigers podcast.

“He’s got great insight and he’s really good in meetings. He doesn’t say a lot a lot of the time, but when he’s got something to say it’s very to the point.

“It gives us a really good insight as to what happens on the ground from a playing point of view.

“When we’re discussing a type of player with his structural involvement and things like that, Shane’s always got some great views . . .”

The self-effacing nature of Edwards remains evident in the recruiting area, as Clarke revealed . . .

“We interviewed one of the boys that went in the top 10 only a couple of weeks before the draft and the excitement on his face when he said to us, ‘Oh, geez I was excited to meet that guy’. I said, ‘Oh Shane, I reckon he might have been a bit more excited to meet you’.

“He’s a very modest man.”
