Jayden Short [merged]

[big tone]

Going alone nicely.

I'm loving the manic pressure especially the young guys.
George, Butler, Rioli, Short and Markov last night have made footy enjoyable to watch.

[Yeahright]

Overated.
Betts will maul him.
Betts is the one anybody needs to judge him or any smallish defender against.
Betts and Cameron will gave a field day.

Sorry but that's a bit over the top.

You are going to judge a young guy on his performance on one of the best small forwards of the last decade who plays in a strong team that gives him constant supply?

Give me a break.

This is all ignoring the fact Grimes will most likely have first crack. Maybe even Rance (like last year)

Just hope it isn't Steve Morris again, last time Betts pantsed him

Did WP cut the Cheese?

[Andyy]

Like this kid, is a nice kick and looks very comfortable with ball in hand. Doesn't panic like some of his compatriots...

What do you think his role is?

Best wy to stop little Eddie is break his leg but that won't happen.
We're stuffed.

I've been very impressed. Has exceeded my expectations.
I like the way he's not chicken.

Jayden is another lesser like in decent form. Thought he became more and more important as the game went along tonight. Finding a rookie pick who kicks at 90% efficiency is a good get. The goal was bonus.

Spot on. Great to see we can draft someone as a rookie and they can go out and play a role within our system. What we've been missing from our lower round picks and rookies. His foot skills are a real asset obviously but I reckon he's getting better defensively every week as well.

[tony_montana]

If he keeps working on his defensive skills will develop into a very good player. His release from the backline, kicking and pace are already very good. Awareness in traffic has improved a lot. Well done to the kid

[eliminator]

His kicking is a real asset. Good game. Well done to him.

[Diocletian]

Was excellent fir the most part though the options he chose on some of the kick-ins were questionable to say the least....

[rogerd3]

He is gonna be a beauty this kid..
