Over the years I've defended him tine and time again.

He lost me last season and has done nothing to change my mind

As a leader he was pathetic today

Drop him now

Apology accepted.

I was the same for quite a while but have gone cold over the last year or two.

Was always hoping his dynasty form would come back.

Now I just want him traded. Please.

[Diocletian]

No different to what he's always served up, just looked better than he was in a good side.

[Tiger Khosh]

Which is why I think he still has some trade currency to a good side, hell even to a bad side, I mean north traded pick 25 for Caleb Daniel.

Again think it’s a non conversation anyway, club seem happy to retain and play him and short, to his credit seems to be loyal to the club.

Only way I see it changing is if he gets dropped to the 2s which forces him to seek opportunity elsewhere.

The Richmond player, 29, revealed the exciting news on social media on Saturday, by sharing two black-and-white photobooth snaps which captured the happy couple posing with their ultrasound photo.

One precious picture showed the happy couple smiling brightly as Jayden held up their ultrasound while another showed him tenderly kissing his wife's growing belly.

The couple, who tied the knot in January after a year-long engagement, looked absolutely radiant in the heartfelt photos.

They captioned the pictures with some exciting words: 'Baby Short', adding a love heart emoji.

Many of their celebrity friends took to the comment section to offer their well wishes.

'Mum and Dad,' wrote Collingwood star Oleg Markov.

'How goooood!!! Congrats!!!' gushed Channel Nine star Lana Murphy.

Meanwhile, veteran sports presenter Abbey Gelmi posted a crying and love heart emoji.

In September 2023, Jayden announced his engagement to childhood sweetheart Maddy, and the pair tied the knot one year later.

The Richmond midfielder announced the happy engagement news on Instagram, after popping the question in Cinque Terre in Italy.

The couple couldn't hide their delight as they beamed on a beach showing off the six-diamond wraparound ring.

The lovebirds captioned the image, 'CIAO FIANCEE!!' and were soon inundated with well-wishers.

'Congrats again beautiful humans,' wrote Tayla Broad, alongside several love heart emojis, before adding, 'PS, I could stare at that ring all day'.

Sports reporter Abbey Gelmi opted to keep things short and sweet, adding several heart emojis.

Jayden and Maddy have known each other for more than a decade and were mates back in 2012.

That was the year he made the AFL rookie draft and a year later he made his senior debut.

The veteran athlete has been with the Richmond Tigers since 2015 and has played almost 200 games with them.
