An exceptional kick on either side of his body, Short's kicking ability has been likened to that of Hawthorn star Sam Mitchell. He averaged almost 22 possessions a game in the TAC Cup and finished the season as one of the competition's most efficient ball-winners. A broken jaw interrupted the start of his year and meant he missed selection for Vic Metro. But he had an impressive season nonetheless, displaying terrific speed and agility to go with his elite kick. He was played mainly off the wing this year, but can move forward or into the middle.

This kid had great wraps on him coming into the draft, his size was always going to be in issue.
I can see this kid being a huge upgrade on Foley in the future.
Great get IMO👍

Richmond has selected Northern Knights utility Jayden Short with its first pick (selection 11) in the 2014 Rookie Draft.
The 18-year-old, who is proficient on both sides of his body, played 13 games for the Knights in the TAC Cup in 2014, averaging 22 disposals and four tackles, and kicking 12 goals.
He was named among the best players in eight of those matches.
“Jayden missed the first two months of the season due to injury, but returned to have a strong impact in the back half of the TAC Cup season,” said Richmond Recruiting Manager Francis Jackson.
“He showed the flexibility to play back, midfield and forward, and performed well in all positions.
“He is a balanced player who has good skills on either side, and genuine speed to break the lines.
“He is also composed with the footy and makes good decisions.”
