Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
He will be celebrating hard tonight. Kid was on top of his game, on top of the world. Brilliant!
We have some cool customers in our side, but I thought Shorty looked as composed a player as I have ever seen for us. He was just in the zone mentally and quite frankly didn't just look unbeatable, he was.
His stats underlined his performance, but the composure and focus he displayed tonight is going to be his making, I am sure of it.
Massive game tonight. Credit to him. He has proven his doubters wrong in which I was one of them.
I was too Smoking. After his great first season he seemed to fall away, especially after we resigned him to big money.
I actually thought I was looking at another Stephen Ryan.
But he is there now. He has shown he is the real deal.
I had him just about runner up in the normie today. Gained a ton of ground and went hard when it was his turn. His defensive game has improved a lot this season. Great that he showcased it on the biggest stage.
I reckon Shorty got on here, took note of what spook said, and went an worked super hard on his weaknesses, and bang we have another bloody good running Half back premiership player.
The Tiger culture made this bloke a star , not just a handy type he would have been elsewhere

I thought he was a bit shaky early, bad ball use (in fairness most on the ground were the same) but in the end i was worried he was going to steal Dusty's place in history (until Dusty's 4th goal.) a great game.
Wow, premierships galore that rookie draft - 10 from my count!! Some rookie hauls you are lucky to get 10 games. We have 10 premierships and counting!!
So proud of my boy ‘Get Shorty’.
I’ve been a keen observer since his debut. When he moved to the back line I was in full support of him and what attributes he had as a footballer.
Would have hurt him deeply the year he was having in 17 then got dropped weeks before finals and missed the historic GF of 2017.
I’ve gone to bat for him since 17 and have had numerous heated discussions on his status and his need to be in this side. Have seen him grow & develop his game to nearly win a Norm Smith in this GF.
I had him so close as BOG but that last Dusty goal sealed his fate to second behind Dusty.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
Expecting him to poll well in the JD Medal.
Well done. You have improved year in year and you should be proud of yourself.
Dual premiership player is ‘Get Shorty’.
‘Rookie draft does it again’
