Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

There will be about seven blokes begging Fly to play them in the back pocket next week.

and Fly will be lobbying the MC pretty hard to keep Shorty in.

If he wants a VFL flag.

I know he's not a bad footballer.

But in a powerful side, he's dreadful
 
He’s in the team to provide attacking play out of the backline. The problem is you need to be able to hit targets in that role. He can’t even get the ball to spin properly; nearly every kick is a helicopter mongrel.

He’s a butcher and I fear will cost us big time in the pressure of finals. Just not sure who we replace him with in that role. Geez I wish Stackman was fit:confused:

I think of Spook-on-Short, a bit like Shane Edwards

It took a long time for anyone to see it,

but its blindingly obvious.

Exactly. If they haven't dropped him by now, why would they drop him just because he was a little bit more shithouse than usual?


I was a Shedda fan from day 1, ez. ;)

u and me both.

I was a bit slower on the uptake with our shorty

No, what you continue to fail to see is that Short releases Houli and makes the backline so much better as a whole.

Is he playing to his strengths at the moment? No.

Do we have anyone who can replace him? Maybe next year, but I’m hoping he can have a great finals series.

We controlled the game today.

Lol. Ok. I'm just being silly, obviously.

Just making a counter argument, as the Short hate is hyperbolic.

All teams, especially the very good ones, cover for players out of form because they make the side structurally sound.

Short is in bad form. Just like one or two others in the team who we’re hoping can come good cos there’s no better replacements right now.

Stack is injured and Egg isn’t ready. If Short can improve in Brisbane we’re an even better team.

I would have agreed wholeheartedly a month ago.

But he has butchering the ball for a month now.

and hes not a star you hope hits form.

he's handy fringe.

He's a one trick pony, whose trick isn't working.

back 7 - Broady, Grimes, DTLD, Houli, Bakes, Vlastuin, Brando/Kmac/Sheds/Caddy.

shorty out.

give him a seat in the GF parade if we make it.

just dont let him on the field.

and If he does get on the field, let me be proven a Buffoon.

The selection committee have been pretty aggressive this year Easy, so I suppose he could get dropped. But it’d be a big call before a QF.

I reckon the backline is judged as a whole at the end of the day.

And that says we kept Brisbane to 58 points and shots at goal from the boundary line.

Shorty plays his part in that.

Yeah I said to someone else,

Im sure your right,

I just strongly disagree.

He was putrid today Baron. I’ve never been a Short hater but right now I really don’t like him in the team. Just can’t trust him at the moment.

Terrible early. Those kicks out of D50 in the first half can cost you finals.

Something is wrong with his action. I hope he spends the week off getting it right.
