No for me. Short's goal kicking from outside 50 is one of the best in the competition. We just haven't set up well enough to utilise it enough. Hopefully the new coach utilises it more.

Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
He is of an age when the best we could hope for would be a middling second rounder at best.

Yep. Trading players in their prime who “grew up” under Trent Cotchin’s leadership will be a mistake, particularly when we are blooding so many youngsters. Very important year(s) ahead for setting standards on and off the track. Shorty & Bakes will be key.
Surpised no mentions on this thread since Sep 2023.
Been a slow start to the season, not much impact from our AA HB and team leader. And it's not like the ball hasn't been in his area. Hope he can lift.

Has been down.
Needs to refine his handpass call and long bomb routine.
(sure he hasn't missed too many of late).
When he got the handpass he veered to the right and sort of had to kick around his body to get it back on target.
Never looked like kicking it.
Senior player now Jaydo, Lift!

Dow was only 40 out, should have been allowed to take the shot. Know he had missed earlier but it was a poor decision by Short to force Dow to give it off.
Don't agree Miles.
If I have a choice between Dow having a set shot 40 metres out, or Short having a running shot 45 metres out I'm going with Short every day of the week.
Doesn't mean he'll kick it every time, but your chances of scoring a goal are much higher. Always go with the percentages.
Agree. 40 out directly in front, just have the shot. Outside 50, different story. Wrong for Short to ask for it.
He was poor. There were some bad old Short panic moments. Hurried up and under kicks when he had more time. The way he fumbled then sold KMac into trouble with a hospital handball and ran away looking for the easy receive, leaving KMac to fight against two.
Need him to lift. Vice-captain. Cf Baker. One has risen to the position.

Has had an ordinary start to the season.
Might find himself on the outer as others come back if he doesn't lift.

combined with only 4 pressure acts for the game, he's been poor, needs to lift
I thought he was terrible today. Panic hacks high in the air that still count as effective. He was terrible. He doesn’t like traffic and things being busy around him.
Vice Captain makes a poor performances like that even more unacceptable

I thought he was our most disappointing player relative to talent today. The Saints' defence was feeding off his long kicks.
