Player Watch #15: Jayden Short

[CholEstrol]

Unlucky not to get the Norm Smith but came up against a once in in a generation player. Brilliant game though.

 

[Drofder]

Fantastic. Great game. Composure.

 

[Genghis Tron]

Huge asset for the club. Will only get better too. Balta and Shorty to make the backline their own.

 

[Drofder]

Great composed game.

 

[ize_]

How good's Shorty?

 

[tony__montana]

Brilliant game, gave us important drive with Houli cut down and was strong defensively with Floss out

 

[TigerTime88]

Used the ball so well. The extra 10-15m he can kick it down the line are huge metres as well.

Lol lethal Leigh getting Shorty and Broady names mixed up in the Norm Smith votes
Thought last night that the Broad votes were a bit left field

How good is Shorty these days under the high ball or in any contests. That part of his game has improved so much from when he first started

Who would have thought that a year ago. His work with when Simpson was ko'd was one of many really good defensive efforts where he put his body on the line.

How good's Shorty?

Most meters gained in afl

By over a kilometer

There's a clip from the coverage post-siren that indicates Shorty may have been handed a little "reward" for his efforts

Good stuff always comes from dropping the ball onto it.

Drawing the longest of bows possible with that one there. Of all the places you would do it you wouldn't do it next to kid on the fence 30 minutes after the siren has sounded. A junkie would be more discrete.

I mean rationally yes, and I am more than 99% sure that's not what went down. However if you thought our boys acted rationally as a set rule, you're bound to be let down.

It's Wiesn Koks! Oktoberfest! Prost!

A bag of candy and tucked it in his sock???

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

I must admit I was a bit concerned when I saw it, it didn't look good.

Let's be honest, half the team would've been coked up to their eyeballs after the game last night, but really dumb if he picked it up from a mate in the crowd...

 

[Jurica Stockade]

Jayden Snort was close to best in and off the field last night

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

It's just a stupid dumb **** thing to do with all the eyes on us.

 

[juss]

It's just a stupid dumb fu** thing to do with all the eyes on us.

I agree, but after 100+ days in the hub as soon as that siren went these guys were thinking freedom and party mode. With the shackles off, all common sense can disappear, there will be a few stupidities committed last night and in the coming days from young, well paid men. Let's hope not too many of the events come to surface...

 

[Old M8]

Has anyone seen a version of it that isn’t a video of someone’s phone taking a video of their TV?
