Has to be in contention for the AA team.
If not Tom Stewart he'll miss out to Corey Enright.more likely to just miss out after Tom Stewart gets the nod.
He may make the squad but I doubt he’ll make the team.Has to be in contention for the AA team.
I nearly spat my beer out when I heard that. Slobbo has no idea.A drunk Robbo said that
Baker is a much better footballer but doubt he will make it (would be in mine).Has to be in contention for the AA team.
Exactly. He's our third best running small back if you have him ahead of Markov and don't count Vlastuin. Dimma mentioned he has areas to improve and one of those (I reckon) is attacking run through the middle. Houli is a master of it. Markov does it. Baker attacks the corridor at every opportunity. When Short gets the ball in the back half it's generally going wide. I'd like to see him back his pace and skills and take on the middle more.Baker is a much better footballer but doubt he will make it (would be in mine).
I think we need to temper this AA talk. Let's just be happy he's cemented his spot in the best 22 for the tigers.

He has been in our best 22 for the best part of 2 seasons now.Baker is a much better footballer but doubt he will make it (would be in mine).

We shall see. If we finish top 4 I'd expect us to at least have some representation in the AA team. I'd suggest Short would be someone who would therefore be in a very strong position to make it as a result of his season so far.He may make the squad but I doubt he’ll make the team.
I reckon if you link the meters gained with efficiency you get a good picture... short is tracking constant 80%+.... so long and accurate.... going okYeh. And this obsession with metres gained drives me nuts. They need some supporting stats around ball retention in association with metres gained. Long kicks to disadvantage are useful only for padding out metres gained stats. I'd like to know how many times we retain possession from those long kicks. eg the Balta kick to dusty is the type of metres gained kick worth reading about.
2 west coast goals last week were a direct result of Short missed tackles. He is definitely getting better at the contested stuff in the air but his tackling is still poor. No doubt he is having an improved year and deserves his place in the side though.
He may make the squad but I doubt he’ll make the team.
No chance they'll probably have that Stewart in again from Geesook and some Malaka from Port or the Bears.
Be shocked with eitherAll of a sudden has time with ball. Looks quicker. Absolutely flying. AA squad. Top 5 JDM.
it was drunk Blobbo who mentioned itCan’t remember which one of the commentators said it, but one was talking about Shorty as a possible AA during a recent game. Has lifted his game this season.
