There's 15 that are better than Jayden without any trouble.

Best get me one also.

Actually just put a bulk order in might be a few takers.

Maybe I'll get some Short branded pipes. Might fund a Grand Final ticket

Then my gear isn't working for me, TGM, because Shorty is definitely not in my best ten Tiger players. Not even in my best 22.
Maybe your gear is too damn good if you think he is ... just sayin'.

Think we can all agree that Spooker ain’t no troll.

I understand the concerns around Short. He is a poor tackler. An even poorer wrestler.

Even his kicking is strangely off (by a fraction).

But what he brings is a precise long game. Not even Houli has that. The only other guy who can roll that *smile* out is Dusty.

A precise long game late in the third quarter of a GF is where Short can break the gridlock.

Short enables game breakers further up the field. He creates space with his hoof just like titch does with his hands.

Dimma will persist and I’m glad he will.

Is this a trick? Have they renamed the VFL, The Modern Game?

If not, I think you should recant TGM.

maybe pair it back to 22 and salvage something?

I'm a fan, but have also said that he needs to improve his contested work. The 666 hasn't really found him out yet, but has the potential to with fast clearances from centre bounces.
If the MC leave Stack forward, Shorty might come under pressure from Pickett who has the qualities that Short doesn't have, as well as a very good right leg.

Pickett for Short is a must happen. He brings more hurt factor both physically and tactically.

The other one is Ross for BEllis. Different players I know but I just want to save BEllis for our preseason games next year...
