Short managed 63 in Richmond's 114-point SCG annihilation by Sydney — 11 below his 74 BE, but context is everything: he scored more SC points (63) than his entire team managed on the scoreboard (56). In a 170-56 demolition where no Richmond player could generate clean ball, Short was one of the few Tigers who kept working. Cash gen has been pumping at +$2,121/wk from his $505k price base and his 115.3 season average is still elite. One bad score in a historic team meltdown does not change the view on a premium DEF keeper. Hold without hesitation — he's still captain-viable in the right matchup.
