I must be one of the few Pies supporters around to have this bloke's number on my Pies guernsey, of course there is a story to it...
When we played the Scum in either 01 or 02 early and towelled them, O'bree was everywhere.

I was sitting with a heap of Scum supporters who were giving me plenty, and when Cheesy started getting touches, I was into the Scum coach of the time (Brittain maybe?) asking in my most loud, abnoxious voice "Who's on O'Bree?" ad nauseum.

Of course he was absolutely knocked up getting touches all day and I believe got a brownlow vote or two. And we won narrowly after a late scum charge.

An interesting aside is also the fact Cheesy is the nephew of former Pies/Bulldogs star 'Butch' Edwards, whose career was cruelled by knee injuries. Butch was highly skilled and rated by the likes of Tommy and John Cahill. Butch was also a very handy cricketer and I believe is still involved in footy at the TAC level...not sure, can anyone update?

So keep getting in and under Cheesy, plodders have fans too.

Top stuff mate - like yourself, I also wear the no.11 on the back of my Pies guernsey. Fair 2 say that Cheesy aint my favourite Woods player of all time, but when it comes 2 respect - this is something I hold highly of Shane.
Since day 1 @ the Club he hasn't put a foot wrong in my opinion, and thats why he's in our 22 week-in-week-out!
