Now that's a rose coloured look, you come across a bit like carter trying to explain the nuances of football.
Referencing Short gaining nearly a kilometere as some sort of proof of a great game. Not very scientific.
He's having a good year, but he had a poor kicking game last night IMO. There's more sophisticated stats around that have been posted before showing him very low in score involvements and score launches for the amount of possession he had. (much more important measures than purely metres gained)
I think the move to the midfield is inspired, he is much more effective when he kicks shorter and at specific targets. It was maybe craig on this thread that noted it previously. Reckon he is on to something. I think Short can get carried away with launching it 60m to nowehere when in the backline.
And he shouldn't be taking the ball away from guys shooting from 40m out directly in front. Outside 50 I don't mind it.
