Any news on Short

Spent the lasr 20 mins on the bench

[mightytiges]

We've handballing almost as twice as much as we kick. 47 kicks and 72 handballs  .

We only had 9 tackles too. Mind you they've only had 12. Bruise free footy.

Frees:  3 - 8  ..... so much for a home game .

Sorry but Baker is not up to it. How Caddy is not getting a game is beyond me.
