Player Watch #15: Jayden Short

[Tiger Toffee]

Dimma threw him under a bus last week for his kicking out

And yet still entrusted him with the kick outs on Friday night.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Dimma is jealous that Floss is better than himself. Trying to hold him back into a back pocket scrapper like himself.

You do know why Floss is playing back don't you.

 

[Helen Wheels]

You do know why Floss is playing back don't you.

Why?

 

[SunshineBoy]

Why?

We haven't got 38 back pockets yet that's why

[tigs2010]

You do know why Floss is playing back don't you.

Yes.

I thought I explained it clearly

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Why?

Do you think Flossy will play back or move to the centre when Houli, Yarran, McIntosh, Cellis and Morris are all available for selection, he is playing back because of circumstance not because of desire.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Yes.

I thought I explained it clearly

No you don't, see my post above.

 

[tigs2010]

No you don't, see my post above.

I know he has to play there currently. We are out of options. Though not as convinced he will automatically move out of the backline when they're back. None of those guys have his overhead ability.

Let's look into the future and imagine it's selection for round 1 and for the first time in 4 years we have no injuries bar a couple of 1-2 weekers to depth players and Prestia and Hurley have come to the club.

B: Grimes Rance Houli
HB: Yarran Hurley Cellis

Before I get to my point i would blow my load if that backline ran out in round1 2017

Now that leaves Flossy to move up to the centre to join the likes of

Cotchin, Martin, Miles, Prestia, Grigg, Edwards getting fed by Hammer with McIntosh, Bellis roaming the wings where they are best suited.

And now we move to the forwards and we have Jack, Griffiths and maybe Astbury as a pinch hitter joined by Short, Rioli, Lloyd.

Now I see a strong backline with a good midfield with a more mobile forward line with more drive out of defence and on the wings.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Do you see the conundrum

Plays first afl game, kicks three goals playing as a forward, next minute dropped to the reserves and played in the back pocket, returns to the seniors in the backline.

Goals don't win matches according to Dimma defence does

We lost all our half backers to injury so we needed someone else to cover.
If he wasnt playing in the back line he wouldn't be in the team at the moment

 

[SunshineBoy]

So he couldn't get a game in our over performing forward line?

Where your sheets damp when you woke up after that dream?

All i've done is add 2 players and given us an injury free list at round 1 2017. It really wasn't that hard to do when you don't see doom and gloom in everything.

When was the last time we recruited a gun from another club?

John pitura?

How are you going to land Prestia and Hurley in one off season?

Hurley won't walk out on Dons as a DFA he will need to be traded for like Carslile.

I also think due to our current form he won't want to come to us.

My point exactly all you see is doom and gloom, Yarran is a gun and it's just unfortunate he copped and injury and suffered depression.

How did Geelong land Dangerfield, Henderson, Smith and Selwood in one off season.

Serious???

With an eye to the future how could Houli and Yarran make the back line??

OMG!!, When was Yarran a gun and why?

 

[Charlie Pannam]

OMG!!, When was Yarran a gun and why?

Agree Magic. Yarrans potential has always outweighed his performances. At Carlton he showed glimpses of being a gun but lots of rubbish in between. Guns perform week in week out.
Still I hope he can get back to full health and play some good footy for us.

He played some good games at Carlton usually against us

The same way Hawthorn recruits ... they show them a whole heap of premiership cups that have been won in the last decade and ask them whether they would like one of their own.

Totally lost me when you said for the first time in 4 years we have no injuries bar a couple of 1-2 weekers.
Until this year we have been one of the most blessed sides going around when it comes to injuries.Until this year the lack of serious injury to too many has papered over many shortcomings.
Even this year of our 7 best players only deledio has missed a significant amount of games and that was at the start of the year.Effectively we have only lost one A grader for any long period of time.
Rance 12 of 14 thru suspension.
Cotchin 12 of 14
Miles 13 of 14 dropped for poor form.
Edwards 13 of 14
Riewoldt 14 of 14
Martin 14 of 14?
Deledio 9 of 14.
As Jason Dunstall said when the loss of good ordinary players like Grimes who has missed about 4 maybe 5 games greatly affects your team and structures then you have serious problems.
