Welcome to Richmond - Jayden Short

[Tigerwa]

During the Blues purple patch in the third he was directly matched on Fogarty who kicked 3.
He's such a loose defender. Doesn't play anywhere near tightly enough on his opponent.
Doesn't get goal side of his opponent. Doesn't like body contact particularly.
Surely they're having a real good look at the tape & will make a change.

Trezise surely. Smith as well.

Form lines out of date???????Really? Ranked 5th best amongst the Tigers so far this season.Last year had his injury problems but still contributed in the top third of Tiger players.So you want to right the ship? Think there are others that come first in this Titanic of seasons.

When you say ranked 5th best amongst the Tigers what do you mean?

According to which metric?

There’s years of tape for them to have a look at.

He’s always taken shortcuts. We’ve got enough problems - let him be someone else’s

Trade and that's it his liability.

Where is this exactly? I can see it says 5th best for the game but not the year (remembering he's played equal 3rd most games for the season and also top 10 for total game time). However looking at the specifics the stats only include the basics including the 6 kick-ins. It doesn't penalise bad stuff like how he leaks goals to opposotion like a sieve or bad or broken tackles. They highly overrated disposal counts. That's why I prefer Supercoach as a guideline, it does a better job at penalising and on that stat he was 16th Tiger for the game. The thing is he's contracted until 2027. He will keep on getting games and he knows it.

Reckon he's always had these limitations. Always had questionable attack on the ball, average one on one and kicked blindly.

He's just being exposed now in a poor team.

There's a reason some are still playing like Short and others like George aint.

George burnt himself to a crisp physically and mentally for the RFC and the side and Dan Rioli came close to doing the same until Hardwick recognised the symptoms and moved Dan to save him. Jayden hasn't gone anywhere close to those sorts of efforts.

In 2017 his cheat football and lack of doing the hard stuff cost him his spot to Broad and Broad didn't allow him to get it back, like George and Daniel and Lambert, and Cotchin and JR8, Sheds and K Mac and Bash and Dave and Grigg (rucking) Grimes and Towner, Broad sacrificed himself and his game for the good of the team.

Don't think the same can be said for Short.

I have no interest in what websites media commentators hve to say. What i would like to know is what do you think.
You clearly watch the games what do you see.
