In all seriousness I cant remember too many times he has hit a target inside 50 or kicked a goal on the run from outside 50 , the new rule should have suited Shortyto have more time to balance up and hit a target , though seems to so often be just bombing under pressure. Don’t think hes our worst , however I find it interesting that opposition teams allow him the easy ball so often
Metres gained is probably the most useless stat in football. He is always high in this stat but for his position much lower in things like score involvements and score launches. He basically kicks long to disadvantage too often. And demands the ball when not in a better position than the guy with it. He’s had a poor year but is not alone. He should be one we look to trade whilst he has value.
If we have Rioli, Mansell and Stack as defenders, where would we fit Short? We need at least 2, if not maybe 3, talls back. Once you add Vlastuin to the back line with Grimes and Balta, where does Short go?
He needs to lift or find a different role.

keep him in at hbf. Keep his stats and trade currency high.
As much as I hate to say it, lets do a deal
Carlton have paid a high price twice for running flakes.
Who else could be interested - Gold Coast, Freo, Hawks, Essendon? A low 2nd rounder would be a dream.
And also we stop seeing long bombs to the well-defended goal square

Some players carry the weight of expectation better than others. He surprised himself and many others with his excellent season last year so he knew he was expected to maintain that high standard. Then we lost experienced players from our backline which put more pressure on him to perform so he starts trying to do too much and stuffs it up. Balta, Flossy and Houli were playing well which allowed him to play a helping role last year but now he's expected to be a leader for Mansell and Stack etc. and perhaps he does not have the confidence to do that? He needs a chat with Emma and the backline need to sort out their roles as a group. What we don't know is whether any personal issues are contributing to his poor form (and for other players).
Astbury doesn’t play if all are available. He’s been a great servant but he is done.
He didnt even go for the marking contest and let his opponent mark the ball. Who then sealed the game with a goal.
hes very rarely defensively adequate,
but his kicking has always compensated.
Now for whatever reason, his kicking is so unreliable,
everyone is trying to get it in Ryan Garthwaite's hands.
I think we could spend 5 or 6 seasons hoping Shorty recaptured his 2020,
but im pretty sure he wont.
