Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

“He is one of five premiership Tigers who are free agents this year, with Jayden Short in discussions over a deal that could be as long as five years.” –

From afl.com.au

I’m a fan of Short but five years is ridiculous. If another club wants to give him five, I’d trade him.

5 years has him playing 2027 as a 31 year old. I don’t like 5 year contracts but I think Shorty is durable enough to still be playing at 31.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I think Short will get 5 years. Has become a key part of our team.

 

[tigertime2]

5 years for a B grade player...seriously no. what would we get a first round pick as a trade?

 

[Scoop]

Will be All Australian (and our only player with Shai Bolton who has any chance of even making the squad) if he continues in this form. He‘s 26, ultra durable and in career form. They will come for him. 5 x 500 is par.

I would give him 5 years in a heart beat.

His defensive work has levelled up this year. He's now 'competent'.

Coupled with his outside running and kicking game being 'Elite', and you have as good a player as you could hope to get in that position.

Houli was a similar profile.

 

[Sintiger]

I think we are taking too much of what is written on a website as gospel and even then it says "as long as 5 years".

Probably what is happening is his agent wants a 5 year deal and we have offered something less. Most of these rumours come from player agents

Personally I would offer someone like him 3 and be prepared to go to 4 if necessary. You never know where a player will be at in their late 20s

I like Shorty as a player but he is probably the type that we have more cover for than any other

 

[St Kevin]

5 years for two HBFs? Who are we, Carlton? Questionable list management.

Accumulating stats doesn't necessarily mean a top game as Short too often shows

 

[Smoking Aces]

He is our quarter back but his disposal is ineffective. I wouldn’t be offering him any outrageous contract.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Worked hard. Can't kick. The first bit keeps improving.

So much this. Early when it was obvious we were trying to tack our way up the ground, changing angles, going short, our "best ball user" kept bombing long to contests. I hope he got a rocket. But he is competing. (Was on Spargo, though, eh?)

With a dearth of “potential “ half backs and Pickett and Ralphsmith out let’s try Short on a wing , much easier for a cub to learn the caper of half back

With Vlastiun, Mansell, Broad, Grimes, Gibcus and Rioli and Tarrant we seem to be set back there. I agree, try him on a wing. He is not an elite kick but he can run and move it fast. Needs to work on his decision making, not everything needs to be a 50 metre bomb.

 

[UKTiger]

Easily Shorty's best game for the Tigers. In everything so maybe he really is the mid we have been looking for

 

[bairdy380]

It was a different look… ok with no pressure tonight… not sold if it was more crash n bash… again, hard to judge

 

[waiting]

Really liked this move. Some of his kicks were sublime. Some misses. I would like to see him trialled again.

Gave us another look at options.

A lot of us were calling for this move.

 

[tigers1980]

Outstanding game. May have found a point of difference in the middle.

 

[momentai]

Agree hard to judge but that was the best midfield display so far this season.
The experiment should continue.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Masterstroke move by Hardwick .
