Sure, its only words, but as expected, the Tigers were embarrassed by their display vs GWS last week, and will come out firing.
Quote:
Short was one of the senior Tigers including Tim Taranto and Dion Prestia highlighted by Footy Classified’s Kane Cornes on Monday for missing tackles and costly turnovers.
The 28-year-old doesn’t shy away from the criticism, saying: “I’m always looking to get better and improve as a player.”
But he said the “tough” conversations inside Punt Rd meant more to him.
“Obviously, our contest work in the first two quarters was pretty down and we reviewed that the next day and had some pretty honest conversations around that,” he said.
“We can expect a lot better this week, the boys really want to get to work.
“They are embarrassed about how we started and it is something we want to rectify.

If we play our way, there's only so far enthusiasm and embarrassment will get them.
In the 2nd half last week we defended the corridor and attacked through it. This is an area we seem to have improved thus far this year. Tiges like the handball game through the corridor. If we can lock that up again, we will beat the Tiges.
Yesterday, after viewing last couple of games vs Tigers, I expected to win tomorrow by 5 goals plus. I even thought 46 points may be the margin. Still might, but am thinking 5 goal win with Harry and Charlie to dominate their backline. Balta and Lynch will be their 2 prong attack. Its our home game. We will have the 19th man on the field.
