Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

[MD Jazz]

Imagine if we had a reigning JD Medallist capable of stepping up when others are faltering. You know, like one of your best players would.

He’s a gun when those first 16 items on CT”s list aren’t an issue. How about we address those first and stop picking on Jayden.

The Wisdom of Crowds - it's a real thing.

The Wisdom of Crowds also chose Mihoceks mark over Boltons. The Wisdom of Crowds also chose Danihers mark over Howes. The Wisdom of Crowds elected Trump as US president. The Wisdom of Crowds think that the corona virus is spread by 5g towers.

I think spook was referring to the wisdom of PRE specifically

I'd hope so.

That's BS, T-S. The Wisdom of Crowds is based on a broad cross-section of the general public; people who vote on Mark of the Week are a very narrow sub-section. Millions more people voted for Clinton than Trump - the Wisdom of Crowds didn't elect him, the failures of the Electoral College system did, which was designed by a concentrated group of experts. And a tiny minority of dingbats think covid has anything to do with 5g. You hit fewer targets than Shorty.

You defend yourself by mentioning very narrow sub-sections.

Like PRE voters perhaps?

 

[spook]

Scary thought for you spook, there’s a hell of a lot of the team that hasn’t played all season , could we see J Short go back to back ?

Missed this. Wash your mouth out.

By that logic, previous top 5 B&F placings and winners were incorrect as well.

Missed this too. No, that is not logical.

Richmond is a broad church.

I wasn't defending myself, I was correcting you.

It's not picking on poor little Jayden

Oh, and no need to be so condescending by calling Short 'poor little Jayden'.

If anyone is entitled to call anyone 'poor little', it would be a 100 game, 2 time premiership player and B&F winner saying it about a poster on an internet forum.

*Le sigh*.

I was making the point that Jayden is big enough and experienced enough to be judged on his merits and that those of us criticising him are not being big ol' mean bullies.

Is there anything else you don't understand?

Urgh, forget it.

You're getting about as tiresome as Zips complaining about our drafting of Higgins.

Sorry to hear that Tommy. Do touch base if you need anything else explained to you.

Maintain the rage, Spook. I'm sure Short will lose sleep over it.

 

[Barkdog]

Geez, Shorty's footy at the moment is really doing my head in. Skirting around looking for cheap handballs, then running into trouble or kicking off his non preferred to nowhere. Just hit an hope kicks, very frustrating to watch him.
An elite kick he currently is not.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Short needs to realise his left foot is much worse than his right. And his right ain’t that good either.

This has been happening all year. Houli got a lot more criticism for doing a lot less of those things. All of Short's disposals seem to be kick outs or sheepdogging around the back.

 

[spook]

Trade.

 

[tigerlove]

Thought Shorty was close to our best to half time. Doesn't get alot of contested possies but still accumulated more than Garth, Rioli, Stack, Mansell, Astbury so I guess not too bad afterall. 84% disposal efficiency and 841metres gained is elite too. Overall good game.

 

[spook]

Shorty turned up and played footy on Sunday. First time in a while, but he had a crack. Hit some targets.

So I'm not hating when I say trade. I just think we can get something for him (or use him to get something) and we can cover for him.

Every team needs a Short. Could be more damaging with the ball but that might be partly due to the structure downfield.

Not if they have a Dawson. Or a Tuohy, or a Salem, or a Rich.
