Connors

Saw him for the first time this weekend. I really like what I saw. I don't think he'll be a superstar, but it wont be long before he's one of the first names written down on the team sheet.

Connors, Edwards, Foley, Thursfield - These guys have what it takes to lift the tigers out of the slump we've been in for so long. If other players with better skills showed the same guts and determination, we'd be a pretty servicable team.
 
Kicking was great (from what i saw)
Good awareness, attitude, alot bigger than i remember (finally)
Great start, i'm a bit exicted bout this boy
 
well done tony, the thing i noticed on the weekend that along with connors, thursfield and polak and mcguane all delivered the ball well. I did not panic as i used to with Kellaway and *smile*!! some real positives

He is a gem!! We are not bias the comentators on fox were falling in love with him

You know this kid is good when Tony Shaw was giving him a rap. He never does that to anyone remotedly involved with Richmond.

Thats probably because there are not any to give a rap to too often! ;D
 
Lucky some of us jumped on early becuase the bandwago is just about full.

Good start, the handball over the sholder running away from the player was the thing for me. Only a handfull of blokes in the AFL do that.

Did you see Tuck try it, turned it over instead

Has been known for his misdemeanours (prior to being drafted and while being on our list).

I thought this was a discussion about Connors and that is exactly what I'm contributing to.

Let me know if you have a problem with that.

Just what we need, a bit of mongrel with a bit of fire in the belly. Dont see that as being a negative.

Quoted for truth. Need a couple of players with a bit of mongrel in them.
 
Suprised Tom Williams got the NAB nomination ahead of Conners this week.

Williams stats 12 kicks, 12 marks, 1 goal

Actually think Thursty should have got a nomination this week over Williams

I agree. Everyone wants to kick you when you are down. Both Tursty and Connors are miles better than williams.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We are going to get dudded big time for our performances this year. NO nominations and a Carlton priority pick are probably going to be the next insults to us supporters. Everyone loves kicking us when we're down.
