Another forgotten Tiger.

Geez you don't want to be outside this 22 atm.

I don't want to be 'that guy' but I think there are going to be some difficult decisions come the end of the year in regards to list management.

The only players I see in serious trouble now are Taylor and Thursfield, assuming we delist 3-4 players I think its going to be very hard to decide who is going.

Most players are either too young to move on, a key position you would think would be given more time (gourdis, post) or potentially on the outer (Morton, Connors maybe).

Regardless would not want to be in the bottom 5 players on the list this year, the improvement of Nahas and White is making things very competitive.
 
Gourdis looks to be in serious trouble, as does Morton. Taylor and Thursty look to be out the door as well, and I do wonder about where Tucky sits right now. Would not suprise me if he retires or takes up an offer at GWS.

Despite the PRE love-in Webberley must be concerned also.
 
Lets not get premature with Dan Connors . He took his medicine last year but came back and played really well for a number of weeks . He tailed off at the end of the year which was probably due to lack of fitness.
He evidently had a great pre season . He now is the number one in bench press and he improved his best time on the tan by a massive amount from memory . That's a sign of him becoming more committed I would have thought .
He had a slow start to the season and is now injured . I suspect we will see him back in the team . Hopefully all the hard work he has done will pay off because he can play.

I agree Sinners. As I posted earlier, if he gest back to full fitness and either Batchelor or Newmo get injured or lose form, we have the ideal replacement.

I am sure Connors will get a run if he is fit and his attitude is right.
 
Next year is Connors year. I thought, injuries aside, he would stagnate a little in development this year but I am really confident he will have a wonderful year next year.
 
Connors, out and about the town tonight in Bendigo. If he has an injury, he certainley wasn't showing it tonight on the dancefloor.

hahahahahaha.......... Bendigo ?........... the "happening place" these days is it ?

"Oh Danny Boy the country leagues are caaaaaaaaaaallin' ..."

Looks like one of those types that has a ton of natural ability but not an ounce of common sense or gives a rats arse about what anyone thinks.

Not the combination that will ensure a long and fruitful AFL career I do believe....... needs to playing well come seasons end or is looking down the barrel I'd think.

yep , seeing he wasn't playing he should have been tucked on a couch with a blanket over him with a glass of hot milk just like most 22 year olds would be doing
 
Conners isnt the answer, his game against Carlton in round 1 was a disaster, Trade bait or worse Delisted at years end.
I thought in 2008 we had something really good, but 3 years on he hasnt added anything to this side.

You do remember that he was sub against Carlton and didn't come on until into the 2nd half don't you ?
 
He was also very good last year as well, very good.

As long as players don't cause a ruckus I have no problem with them going out and enjoying their life.
 
Without casting dispersions on his dance floor antics, Connors history on the grog isn't good.
Should save his drinking for off season.
He has to make every post a winner this season.
 
I wasn't aware drinking was a prerequisite for the dancefloor. I have no problems with Connors going out, if he got caught for drunken antics then sure obviously thats an issue but the bottom line is he didn't.
