Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
He was missing a few of these a couple of years ago, good to see Short nailing them again. Don't expect him to nail every one but if he can get maybe 50% that would be stunning.
As a few have pointed out, it makes it a lot harder for the opposition defence when you have someone who can kick them from a long way out, costs them at least 1 defender which is invaluable.

Thought the same thing at the match. That it sailed through is testament to his kicking ability. It wasn't Bakes best handball, didn't put it out in front for Short to run onto but he did well to collect it but seemed to kick it a bit off balance (hence why it went high) and was a bit closer than he'd like to be to the defender in front, but it was a cracker of a kick.
Shorty was missing so many of those scrounge around the back shots from 50 over the last few years, that I'd happily abuse him n pray that he'd *smile* off and let the player with the ball actually have their shot in peace.
Dunno what Shorty's got in his drink bottle the last few weeks but his long range goal kicking has been a thing of beauty, hasn't looked like missing.
We just saw how important Shorty is.
He was out only goal scorer in the first half and played about 3% of it.
We could not create without him.
Might be our currently MVP.
We are going to need to fill this void one way or another.
I suspect they will bring in Ralphsmith.
For Ralphsmiths kicking exploits? Unlikely. Banks or Brown for me, sink or swim.
I am not saying he is like for like. But more what I think the match committee would do.
For me I would debut Brown.

Bauer was awesome, BOG by a mile, but was BOG even without the goals tbh/ Dominant game overall and cleary the best he's played.
Soldo was good too, but was up against a kid who he monstered.
Couple of small positives from a pure stats point of view , Bradtke 6 marks , 11 posies, I remember when Vickery, Post, Griffiths would be in the 2s and have 2 or 3 marks and 6 touches . Dow though I’d imagine he’s not in the plans , 8 clerarences is a positive, , now this is a bit different but MJ with 8 tackles should be a huge positive, however if he could get the ball he wouldn’t have to tackle somuch
Game 150 for Shorty tomorrow night.
What a rookie selection he’s been.
Dual Premiership player & Jack Dyer medalist.
Bravo.

yep 150 quality games that is for sure
Best wishes Shorty! have a great game, inspire the rest of the team to greatness!
I’m a big Shorty fan and don’t want to see him go BUT ….if we are to trade someone of value to get back into a better position in the draft I think Jayden is it. I reckon the running half back flanker must be the easiest position to refill and with him turning 28 in January now would be the time.
But what would you get for him?
