Dimma has answered everyone's concerns in his press conference. There is a reason K-Mac is in the VFL and playing in the backline.

ideally Short’s spell is for the entire month of September
I don't get the Short hate. He is working his way back into form after a long injury. I was surprised they didn't make him find form in the VFL first but I thought he was far from our worst last night. No. 5 is the player I think makes way.
I don’t read stats Aces, you should know that by now
But yeah, my point is that Shorty was better last year. Much better. He can do it again.

If that’s what you get when Short has a bad day (as most seem to be saying), then I’ll take that in September.
I don’t get everyone’s hate for Short but love for K-Mac.

Different players, different strengths and weaknesses... it might not be fair but everyone knows KMac is as tough as nails and Short isn't.
Someone earlier said if Short's kicks aren't hitting the target then what is he in the side for? I tend to agree.
But having said that I thought he was better yesterday than the previous game. Seems to be part of Dimma's plans so let's see if he comes good.

Just watched first half replay and Short was actuly quite good overall. A couple of blunders but generally kicked shorter and kept it simple. His long kicks in the last were pretty wayward though. Bit of a mixed bag. I think I would like to see a Naish play his role in the future. Someone with a bit more smarts. Definitely not kmac, too unpredictable with his decion making and disposal in the backline.
He had 8,5,5,8 disposals in each quarter. Nowhere near half of his disposals in the last.
No defensive skills, no intercepts, can’t tackle, kicks the ball back to the opposition. This guy isn’t for AFL
Not a defenders ass hole.
In the first 10 minutes he tried his very best to keep Collingwood in the game.
I thought early he was clearly someone who was nervous and he couldn't get his hands cleanly to the ball (complete contrast to Dusty, Stack, Cotch for example). But thought he worked into the game OK.
Criticism here is clearly urban myth worthy. If the club keep playing him, then they must think his positives outweigh the negatives.

He wasn't serviceable enough to hold his spot IMO. OTT? Its all opinion. Skied kicks, missed targets, fumbles in space, if he is good defensively he can get away with a bit of that, but he's not.
