between you and Tigerwa I think we get the drift you want Short out.
100%. no pulling punches here. i have thought it for years.
My view on this year is we need to look at what kids we have as much as possible, not play blokes who cannot lead from the front and he should be leading from the front. His avoidance of contact is cringeworthy and a disgrace for a bloke in the leadership group.
The other thing is who really thinks he will be a part of any future success.
Imv he is actually stopping us developing young players simply because we play him in front of better rounded youngsters who need the experience to grow.
We are yet to hit bottom imo. So just how long do people realistically expect it will take us to draft, then get enough games into a new core.
I can honestly say it will be longer than 5 years.
We either embrace a rebuild or continue to kid ourselves. It is that simple. Atm most think we can just bring in a few f/a"s or trade in a few and we will contend again. !!!!!!
It is the Jayden Short thread so all those who still want to play this muppet in front of Smith and Trezise for starters tell me why.
Please don't give avoidance answers like he is a premiership player or he won a best and fairest. He has been the same for years.
I don't know if anyone is counting but this year will year four since we won a flag and we are wondering if we have even bottomed out yet.
Imagine he is a 19 yo along with the other two Smith Trezise, what does he do better ? apart from rack up cheap kicks. Cheapies that he generally goes on to use poorly.
There's an old saying your only as good as your last game. In Shorts case it goes way beyond that.
