Jayden Short will make his senior debut on Friday night
Skilful, speedy small forward Jayden Short will make his AFL debut with Richmond in Friday night’s blockbuster against Collingwood at the MCG.
Earlier today, Short was promoted from the Tigers’ rookie list to the senior list, as a replacement for Reece Conca, who has been placed on the Club’s long-term injury list (with hamstring damage).
Short, 177cm and 72kg, was Richmond’s first pick (No. 11 overall) in the rookie draft at the end of 2014.
See how Collingwood will line up in Friday night's match
He showed some impressive signs at VFL level for the Tigers in 2015, predominantly across the forward line, with occasional stints through the midfield.

Agree with Morris going out
Though I would have dropped Hampson as well, played Griffiths as first ruck and bought in Lennon. Mainly because Lennon can play as a lead up target and / or small forward role
-
Bellis and Shampson are a real worry. A real real worry.
-
No Lennon??

No Lennon??
Named as an emergency.

probably still a bit underdone.
without the sub, cannot carry those who are not going to run out the game.
probably going to come in after a few more hitouts in the VFL.
then again, he's an emergency
-
Lennon must have rooted hardwick's missus...and showed him up.
Stuff me, this bloke is his own worst enemy.
loose two agile forwards so they bring in one untried small agile forward, a midfield plodder and total retread
-
Did you mean to write retread Al or or were you just avoiding the filter?
-
it's actually a term I've used for a long time as substitute for a word meaning to hold back (when used as a verb)
in this case it doubly applies to the player in question
-
Rioli injured ?
-
We will not win games with Hampson in the side
Kiss finals goodbye if he keeps playing
And that is despite him tearing up the training paddock

We have a 100% winning record so far this tear with Hampson in the side.

I'm happy Short is being given an opportunity and good luck to him.. But the other 2 ins are just nothing footballers taking us nowhere.... Dimma at his best at selection once again.
I'd also hope Rioli has a niggle otherwise that decision is just as astounding as playing the other 2 duds.
And lastly not playing Lennon shows what I have been told by a bloke at the club, that Dimma is not a fan. With as many injuries as we have at the moment it says he doesn't rate Lennon in the top 26/28 players on our list.
-
I'm disappointed with Rioli going out, but think it is fair enough to be careful with young players with injuries. A week off wont hurt him that much. The upside is debuting another youngster! Go Shorty! ;D
-
Rioli copped a corkie last week
Hasn't come up

Let's face it, it couldn't be that hard to be one of Hardwicks favourites, you don't even have to be good at footy (see Hampsud, Morris etc. ) A blind man and his dog can see that Lennon has some footy tricks but he mustn't be doing what Dumma likes to see during training etc. I suspect he's either lazy or just looks as though he's cruising at half pace. I also suspect his defensive efforts are not up to standards too.
As far as I could tell Newmans spot was his if he wanted it but if your a decent player but can't get a gig in this squad there's got to be something wrong with attitude.

The thing is, if you are not going to play our number 1 draft pick from a couple of years ago, when most, if not all would agree he is good enough to be in the side, especially when we have about 5 or 6 injuries from our side, than trade him when he wants out.
From memory he kicked 4 goals in the twos last week and from all reports played pretty well, and with us struggling to kick a winning score, don't you think he would have been the obvious choice this week?
It's human nature to have favorites and have people you just don't like in life, but you would hope it wouldn't get in the way of a coach picking the best side each week to try and win every game.

Li am gob smacked and dumbfounded that lennon isnt in.

I agree with everything you've said and for that reason alone the only logical reason I can come up with is attitude. Why else wouldn't he get picked then?

Couldn't care less if he's willful as long as he's skillful....

Uninspiring selections of Grigg and Hunt. Good luck to Short. Would have brought in Lennon as well.
