Player Watch #15: Jayden Short

[Equus]

An exceptional kick on either side of his body, Short's kicking ability has been likened to that of Hawthorn star Sam Mitchell. He averaged almost 22 possessions a game in the TAC Cup and finished the season as one of the competition's most efficient ball-winners. A broken jaw interrupted the start of his year and meant he missed selection for Vic Metro. But he had an impressive season nonetheless, displaying terrific speed and agility to go with his elite kick. He was played mainly off the wing this year, but can move forward or into the middle.

This makes me happy.

 

[Toadvine]

yeah shorty! Let the Sam Mitchell comparisons begin!

 

[Stylo]

Great pickup. Reminds me a little of Robbie Gray.

 

[TigerTime88]

Gee his left and right look good. Lucky I didn't do a phantom draft off highlights...would have put him in the top 20 ND.

 

[TJTIGER]

Reminds me of Wingard

Teammate of McKenzie aswell

 

[tugga]

Very good get.

 

[Infamy]

Wonder if these Northern Knights mids made McKenzie look good, or vice versa.
Hopefully both

 

[MR]

Kicking action reminds me a little of Petterd

 

[cairo tiger]

As good as EllisEllis

 

[Mr Magic]

Ha, ha, if he applies himself he might play AFL shortly. Can rookies be upgraded for round 1 or does a player need go on long term injury list?

Seems a level or more above the other rookies but Lambert looks as though he will push him with determination.

 

[TigerTime88]

Kicking action reminds me a little of Petterd

Rubbish...Petterd has a better kicking action than that!

 

[Mr Magic]

As good as EllisEllis

If he can play inside might end up better in the long term. Which Ellis are we talking about anyway?
