I think he'll be the sub again, it gives us fresh fast legs late in the game, which is something we'll need against Port.

Probably in due to his speed and running power, if it were Sydney, I reckon we'd have gone a different direction.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Agree - he is picked because of matchups and the ground and style of Port may suit him (unlike Sydney or Freo as has been mentioned earlier).
Also, he was one of the standout players over summer (from all reports) so he has earned his spot. I am surprised he stays in but it is hard to judge a first gamer who comes off the bench.
Hope he goes well in game 2

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Hope he gets a full game. Great type. Will learn heaps tomorrow.
Needs to be on the ground for a period of time so his speed becomes a factor. Should use his pace offensively to start with, pressure acts and rundowns. Can't be judged on how many times he gets it at this stage.

It's a shame he's so little. We could start him out in the forward pocket in place of Morris.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Can you explain to me what Morris is suited to?

Didn't get a lot of it but his speed enables him to put extreme pressure on the opposition.

Didn't let himself or the Tigers down today. Has a way to go yet but he will always remember his first goal in AFL.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Yep, and he looks like he has a football brain. Body just not there yet. Could be a nice player in 2032 when he weighs more than 48kg.

Hopefully he'll have learnt a lot with this game and he/we'll all see the benefit in the months to come.
Well done son!
Could have had it last week with his first kick - but it was a bloody ripper tonight and just at the right time.UKTiger said:
