There's no way Short isn't in our best 22 at the moment.
You can't put them on pedestals just because they played in the finals a year ago.
Excellent question and good position to be in. His ankle injury must have been more serious than just a standard sprain seeing as he injured it in the first quarter on July 6. Perhaps by playing out the game he made it worse hence the longer recovery.tigerlove said:

He's not a high pressure act player anyway. Last game for example he had the lowest of all the forwards including Reiwoldt. The week before he had just 19, one of the lowest in the team. He's just too slow to provide the manic pressure we thrive on. So if he's not also kicking his fair share of goals he becomes a liability.
think we have it right at selection.
obvioulsy nank comes back in next week.
but yes who is out for Butler in 2 weeks???
b.ellis and MciNtiosh must stay in i believe fot those saying they are close to being dropped.
Cant see Towner in finals, last few hes just been OK.
Wouldnt be upset if he was though.

I get that Towner is on the outer but...lets get serious - its finals time. I was playing with the ladder predictor and like everyone else I reckon, I keep getting WC on GF day.
So why the hell are we playing Liam Baker in front of Townsend. And before everyone starts rabbiting on about development and getting games into kids do we really want to play Baker on McGovern on Grand Final day or do we want Townsend to do his nullifying and blocking role on the intercept mark king of the competition. Every other coach has played ladder predictor - Hardwick has to do it or at the very least get Mrs Hardwick on the case.
If the answer is yes we do then we need to get games into Towner now and have him up again for the final series because "the answer" to that last forward position sure as hell isn't Baker or Moore, not in 2018 anyway.

Hes a victim of the need for some foot speed also, hence Baker included.
But Townser is not in the frame right now.
Loyd, Baker and Conca are ahead of him, not to mention Lambo, Cotch, Dave and Dion.
Jacobs up against it now, two will likely miss from last September, possibly 3 if Conca makes it back and impresses.
