No for me. Short's goal kicking from outside 50 is one of the best in the competition. We just haven't set up well enough to utilise it enough. Hopefully the new coach utilises it more.
He is of an age when the best we could hope for would be a middling second rounder at best.I’m a big Shorty fan and don’t want to see him go BUT ….if we are to trade someone of value to get back into a better position in the draft I think Jayden is it. I reckon the running half back flanker must be the easiest position to refill and with him turning 28 in January now would be the time.
But what would you get for him?
Yep. Trading players in their prime who “grew up” under Trent Cotchin’s leadership will be a mistake, particularly when we are blooding so many youngsters. Very important year(s) ahead for setting standards on and off the track. Shorty & Bakes will be key.Purely as a culture leader he stays.
Dow was only 40 out, should have been allowed to take the shot. Know he had missed earlier but it was a poor decision by Short to force Dow to give it off.Has been down.
Needs to refine his handpass call and long bomb routine.
(sure he hasn't missed too many of late).
When he got the handpass he veered to the right and sort of had to kick around his body to get it back on target.
Never looked like kicking it.
Senior player now Jaydo, Lift!
Don't agree Miles.Dow was only 40 out, should have been allowed to take the shot. Know he had missed earlier but it was a poor decision by Short to force Dow to give it off.
Agree. 40 out directly in front, just have the shot. Outside 50, different story. Wrong for Short to ask for it.Dow was only 40 out, should have been allowed to take the shot. Know he had missed earlier but it was a poor decision by Short to force Dow to give it off.
combined with only 4 pressure acts for the game, he's been poor, needs to liftHas had an ordinary start to the season.
Might find himself on the outer as others come back if he doesn't lift.
I thought he was terrible today. Panic hacks high in the air that still count as effective. He was terrible. He doesn’t like traffic and things being busy around him.His poor form continues, without any tall marking options, his one wood (the no look/composure long bomb) was a huge liability today. Had my heart in my mouth every time the ball was in his hands.
Yep - young teams need leaders to stand up - and he isn’t.I thought he was terrible today. Panic hacks high in the air that still count as effective. He was terrible. He doesn’t like traffic and things being busy around him.
