Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

[Ridley]

Geez, Shorty's footy at the moment is really doing my head in. Skirting around looking for cheap handballs, then running into trouble or kicking off his non preferred to nowhere. Just hit an hope kicks, very frustrating to watch him.
An elite kick he currently is not.

Yeah I posted similar a few weeks back; really not liking how he is playing this year. If he's gonna play like a sheep dog he needs to be able to kick well and he's not doing that.

He's a long way from his 2020 form that saw him win a B&F in a premiership team. But he has a lot of mates in the same boat unfortunately.

That said he did play better on Sunday; hopefully that continues.

Every team needs a Short. Could be more damaging with the ball but that might be partly due to the structure downfield.

Yep. It's shortie's role to run around the back and get the cheap handball and then deliver accurately upfield. It's not all his fault that our talls get outmarked by theirs every time.

I was a hater on short early days but he's got great worth. Trade? Dunno, depends on if we want to challenge again or full rebuild? I'd keep if the former.

He keeps running boundary side and shanking high balls on his left foot. Daniel Rich he ain't.

Thought he was in the best couple though on Sunday.

Hmmm.

 

[Dont Argue]

Has turned into a panic merchant.
Throws it onto his boot at every occasion. Turned it over all night

 

[AngryAnt]

Playing better than previous weeks, I'll take that

Really? Kicking is nothing short of putrid.

 

[Scoop]

Attack on the contest has been really good.

Really good last two weeks.

 

[St Kevin]

Better than he has been, but still a way off where he was in 2020. Keep trending upward Shorty.

 

[MB78]

His bouncing of the ball after a few metres spells panic and selfish. Limits his options and burns teammates as he doesn’t use his vision up the ground. Do it once bring him to the bench. Do it twice we drop him. He must be prepared to lower his eyes and look for the best option.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Most touches tonight.

Keep proving the doubters wrong Shorty.

 

[Dyer'ere]

He was pretty fair tonight, IMO. Still has the genetic problem. Can't kick.

 

[spook]

We could get something decent for him and wouldn't miss him. Just sayin.

No we won’t Spook. He can’t defend.

 

[tigertim]

Knockers as usual but I thought he was good. Yeah some of his kicks are too high but he's just about always been like that.

Can not hit a target inside 50 to save himself

Must have missed the kick into 50 metres on the run on his left that hit our forward perfectly then

Yes, hitting Mabs lace out on his left foot was a thing of beauty.

 

[Smoking Aces]

That’s one out of how many missed.

 

[toothless]

Why does he do the kick ins?
