a pick in the teens is unders for me and even though I like Short (I've watched alot of his footy) he is the definition of steaknives and isn't worth a 2nd & 3rd.
In 12 weeks time it might be a different story re Short. For instance 12 weeks ago I’d have said similar for Phillips whereas now an opposition club wouldn’t get change out of a 1st rounder if they came knocking and Short is following a similar trajectory. Even then we’re giving Moore and a pick circa 50 for a guy that walks straight into our best 22 and a potential top 15 pick. Short also has the added advantage of coming across from a club with a similarish system to ours.
We also won’t hold the whip hand on Darcy which will impact on his trade currency. Right now Short is performing and Darcy isn’t. To be blunt Darcy is rated highly on potential, genetics and draft position. With his injury history and production so far all that justifies the deal I speculated on would be the contract offer from Sydney. It really is in our best interests to retain him because I wouldn’t even lock in a 1st round pick coming our way at this stage.
