Nice role & loves tackling which is great for SC.

Tigers certainly want to get the ball to Short when possible by the looks so far - be interested to see how he scores tonight.

Daicos is just a freak
Is he going to win enough of the ball? They're not the highest possession team and he's a defensive first mid. Tackles alot at least.

I think Richmond selling there souls for Taranto and specially Hopper is nearly as bad as picking Tambling over buddy. Maybe not that bad but not far behind it.
Wait until the end of the season before you judge, besides at least Richmond never traded Andrew McLeod for Chris Groom.

Agree in part l but at the same time I'm sure Tim and Jacob didn't sign up on long-term deals expecting the coach to bail and the dynasty players to retire or join other clubs at the end of last year. They've pretty much signed up now for a complete rebuild.

Great score so far but let’s remember this is preseason Jayden Short. Genuinely think he averages close to 140 in preseason matches. The role does looks to there though. You can see the Tigers are actively looking for him. Lots of backwards kicks and handballs to him. Tends to be central and not on the flanks. Pushing up quite high and when the ball is inside the forward 50 he’s sitting just outside the 50 usually without an opponent.

Also, 662 metres gained at HT is stupid.

Can relate

WCE are still paying the price for selling the farm for Tim Kelly who has been very underwhelming since joining us 😞

I've seen enough.

Butters to Daicos.
Will be very popular with Butters injury, but trying to ignore this game, Daicos was always going to blitz here. Bad bye and will get attention a lot this year. He does look really good never happy with the one possession just keeps in the play for another one.

For everyone falling in love with Daicos just remember, he won't play the tigers every week! Draw opens up a bit post bye but there is a good chance he gets tagged in R0 (GWS), R1 (Swans) and R4 (Hawks), plus wouldn't surprise me if the Saints tried to put some attention in to him. great chance to pick him up a little cheaper post bye having avoided some tricky fixtures and the missed week - still think he ends the year right up there but circumstances don't necessarily mean he's a must start.
I'm in love mate
