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

[🏅Dooks]

Bellis and Shampson are a real worry. A real real worry.

No Lennon??

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

[Penelope]

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

[Diocletian]

Did you mean to write retread Al or or were you just avoiding the filter?

[Penelope]

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

[Simonator]

Rioli injured ?

[Chuck17]

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

[Gracie]

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

[big tone]

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.
