Don’t expect Short to go. Like your ins but would love to see the highly talented Brown as well.
There's no where we can hide Short. Can't get it in the midfield and was exposed defensively yesterday in the backline. Has been poor for a while now.
Perhaps the Hardwick baggers cna tell us where Short should be played? the forward line where he was recruited from, the back line where he won a B&F (and stunk it up yesterday), the midfield where he played well when first moved there, or the VFL?
I doubt he will be dropped, but he shouldn't start back again this year. we are going to have to persist with him as a high half forward i think, and hope he can use the ball well.
You can't have two quarterback style half back flankers. Shorty is lost because Daniel is playing the Houli role.
Yep, all opponents have to do in the backline is put someone on him who can catch the footy overhead. He can't defend this. Jake King had similar issues. Short has to go forward, working up to the wings and back, using his kicking weapon. Occasional stints in the guts, he's too easily exposed as a full time mid.
Hard to sustain that level a few weeks back but Pickett has had less of an impact over the last few weeks. The marks that were sticking and now coming to ground, a little fumbly too. Perhaps a little over critical but for me Pickett has been average the last few games.
I thought. He started badly, but worked his way into the game later.
Gibcus has been out of form and don't think we need him Ghost. We have plenty of height to cover Grimes in the backline; Miller, Tarrant and Balta to start. Broad and Vlastuin can play tall if needed. That's enough. We need more run and pace. We looked so much better when Grimes was forced from the field and MRJ came on.
The balance was actually right in the second half. I don’t think we need to bring in another defender with Balta going back.
Additionally, watching the replay - McIntosh went back in the last and shedda onto a wing. McIntosh actually won some critical contests back there. I think stack may be the one they bring in to allow shedda and short to play through the wing.
Miller. Tarrant. Baker.
Rioli. Balta. Vlastuin.
Kmac. Prestia. Pickett.
Graham. Lynch. Sonsie.
Stack Reiwoldt Cumberland
R. Nankervis, Cotchin, Bolton
In: Edwards, Short, Broad, Ross
S. Rioli Jr

Edwards to play on the wing?
Only had one reasonable game and that was yesterday can’t rely on him to run up and down the wing
Maybe that was a result of playing on the wing?! Anyway I agree with that…my point was more that I think bringing in stack gives us flexibility to move the magnets around more than say Gibcus or a Mansell.
