Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

[Ridley]

I've been a fan of Shorty's so far in his career. But I haven't liked what I've seen since he's been back in the side. He looks our only liability to me and the Pies could expose him with some real heat.

I really hope he's up to it tonight.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Couple of very questionable efforts, surprised he had 26 touches, which shows he ran hard I suppose

He had half of them in the last quarter, Mr B. When the heat was on he was putrid. Frightened.

 

[Ridley]

Should make way for McIntosh.

Houli wasn't any better.

 

[Bill James]

Kicking been average since he returned. I feel he lives and dies by his kicking because he doesn’t have other strengths.

 

[spook]

Houli wasn't any better.

He was.

 

[evo]

Not a huge fan, but I thought he was a lot better tonight. Much more comfortable at half back.

 

[zippadeee]

Seriously what do the match committee see in him.
Massive jibber.
Collingwood has a chance every time he went near it.

 

[tigerlove]

His last 4 long kicks went straight to the opposition. Needs to kick smarter.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Best game since coming back from injury. Just needs to polish off his disposal a little.

 

[jb03]

Better but quite a few junk time possessions. (as did a few of the backs)

 

[tigersnake]

I hate to come down on anyone after a performance like that, but given his shortcomings, his kicking has to be better. That is meant to be his strength. If he is hitting those long passes I'm on board. Strike rate isn't high enough. It was better tonight, but still not high enough given his weaknesses.

 

[toothless]

Stats very flattering to his performance

 

[Baron Samedi]

I am a defender but he looked bereft of confidence tonight.

We actually looked very jittery early doors. That first goal to them should never have happened.

Short needs to lift. That’s assuming he gets another chance against Melbourne, which I reckon he should get.

If Shorty comes good, think of the benefits. Houli isn’t under so much pressure to be the link up and can roam higher. Stack can stay where he is, prowling and dangerous.

The back six is working beautifully at the moment. Hardwick and Leppa won’t change that.

 

[eZyT]

No Change won us the flag

Its very compelling

But i reckon Kmac and Caddy would be tackling Shorty, Brando and Bellis

Pretty much with everything theyve got at training.

Thought Bakes was well ahead of them last night

Currently our biggest issue coming into September.
If it was good enough for flappers surely he needs a spell.

 

[toby64]

Thought he, Ellis and Houli fumbled a lot

 

[Brodders17]

Thought he, Ellis and Houli fumbled a lot

Those 3 stood out for their lack of cleaness with the ball in hand.

Short would be running out of chances IMO.

Then you didnt watch the game.
Sidebottom broke records for fumbling last night.
SSS
Short Steps Sidebottom.

Collingwood supporters are calling him Tradebottom
