Connors

B1 and B2 said:
Would like to see this kid come back soon, have no idea how he has been playing in the VFL.
Hopefully has a few games before end of the year...

I have a feeling Richmond may trade Conners .

B2

Been injured all year.
 
I like Connors as a player , always have . Gets the pill and his kicking faults are overstated imo.
Has x-factor as well which is something we have been lacking. I like him playing wing / half forward .

Has trade factor.......tbc
 
yep - trade bait.

prone to soft tissue injuries and it takes him a long time to get back to full fitness, due to low fitness base he has.

Connors is definitely on the outer atm.
Houli has been a far better distributor from HB.
Still he's got a bit of time left to show why he should remain.

He's going to go down as a huge waste of talent is Dan.
 
I would think Dan has currency in the trade market.
Personally I would like him to stay and play in the midfield.

Thought dan looked like he was really going to be a pretty great player last year! Like to see him stay

I don't think he will unless we get a very good trade. Dan and Jake will be the replacements for Newman and Deledio (who should play in the guts or up forward).
 
Bloody dreamers on here.
Dans been barely above fringie status in an ordinary team since we got him. Been out all year injured and people are tarting him up as trade bait. Trade for *smile* what? He's done Sweet Fanny Addams since we've had him.

I am not necessarily defending Connors output since he came to the club , so please don't think that . However think of it this way .
There is a thread now about how Jay Schulz is a better player at port than he was with us . He played 6-7 seasons and frustrated the hell out of us all because he had talent and very rarely produced .
That is the way I see Dan Connors . He is a very talented footballer who has shown at times ( agreed rarely ) that he can play well at AFL level . 6 months ago we heard that he was the fittest he had ever been . i remember reading that he had smashed his record on the tan by a massive amount . he played about 8 weeks of very good footy last year as well after he came back but tailed off at the end , probably due to fitness. He was injured in the preseason this year and never got started and got injured .
I am just not ready to write him off personally because I reckon the kid can play . But time will tell .

Doesn't make him tradeable sinnerman. I'm a fan of Condogs talent, but there's no trade value at present. I'd rather keep him for one more year and if he's fit get the absolute maximum out of him. If he steps up to a quality player as he's teased then it's our bonus. If he provides nothing then no great loss, I don't believe there's much trade value after not playing this year so if he doesn't step up next year he's still got stuff all trade value.
 
The latest injury list has Connors missing for another 2 to 3 weeks.. looks like the season is done and dusted for him.
It's either one hell of a 'quad injury' or there's much more to it (GWS?).
Seems ridiculous that he's been out of the side since round 3.
Anyone know what's up???
 
All I know is about a month ago they said he was ready to return to VFL. Hasn't been mentioned since. GWS wouldn't surprise me. Either that or he's stuffed up off-field again is a certain delisting hence they won't even play him. Dunno.

Connors is contracted for 2012
 
According to the contract list hes contracted till 2012.
Thought if GWS were to target a player thats coming out of contract it would be Morton
