The expectation of Pickett waltzing into our team seems unusually high. Kmac, Caddy, Egg etc would all be in front of him.

maybe, but if I was some kind of benevolent tiger power who controlled things

and you said to me

'you can have Short or Pickett on the HBF for the remainder of 2019'

without having ever seen Pickett play,

I would say 'Pickett' with under a 1 second pause.

Boy is in awful nick. Skating on very thin ice, might get a spell this week.

Don’t like how he’s playing at the moment. That won’t stand up in finals.

Surely he gets dropped this week. We seem to have several better options at the moment.

He wasn’t a pressure player before his injury. Now he is totally redundant down back.
One stage yesterday he allowed someone else to come in and tackle while stood there and watched.
Not sure what Hardwick is watching.
Rance and him had shockers in the preliminary final. I wouldn’t play him this week.

Cant have a game like last years preliminary final when he jibbed nearly every contest.
Im not convinced he is best 22 quality.
Rather have caddy or even McIntosh in.
Bring back conca

Short is the same footballer he's always been. There's no longer anywhere for him to hide.

It's clear he's a much-loved player and they're giving him every chance to be part of it. He's getting all the rope he needs.

One thing I will say has changed is his kicking, he's no longer spearing 60m flat darts, they're hanging in the air.

Without the laser boots, he really has nothing.

Come on spooker, he’s been better than what he’s showing at the moment.

He's getting closer to my prediction, a high hff with opposition worrying about him vs him worrying about them... 60m kicks straight info f50.... or taking the shots from 50....

You need to be able to chase, harass & tackle to play that role.

When he was under the radar. When we had Rance and could cover his inadequacies. Not since mid last year.
Yeh Rance allowed us to cary the odd defensive liability but his absence makes everyone more accountable. Jayden hasn't risen to the occasion.
