His mum's name is Sarah Connor Menadue.

Does that make him humanity's last hope?

We don't have to worry about recruiting a bodyguard for him.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue



I can see why Olivia Newton-John wrote a song about him. Did they ever find her husband?
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Think he could win NAB Rising Star. He's a Freak.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

As expected from a young skinny kid his first season in VFL/ AFL was a mixed back, great glimpses, quiet games bit of everything. Mrakov an Menadue will certainly add some speed an carry in future years, ATM I like Mrakov in front of Menadue

That's a big wrap for Mrakov as Menedue has already demonstrated great pois at AFL level and imo has a better chance of making it than not at this stage - hope your right
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Markov just ahead as spent a year playing against men in SA and has a more developed body to handy the rigours of AFL. That said I can see both boys being vital cogs 2017 beyond.

Mate i like Oleg but he was playing SANFL reserves..... He is 19... Remember Morris was 20 or 21 and he was dominating SANFL 1st and won their medal i think... Oleg coming from a very very long way back, Menedue is way way ahead of him!!!

He has a lot of elite attributes hence our selection!

Thats a very very big call !

Menadue is class and will become a excellent player in 2 years time, He was drafted with a view that it would take 3 years before he is physically ready to play regular games but once he is in the team he will stay in the team - Very similar path to Kamdyn McIntosh development

I reckon your call of him been an excellent player is just as big a call Turk, hope we are both right ;)

I see Connor becoming an Isaac Smith type player for Richmond in 2 years time, Just love what the kid brings and his determination to succeed - He wont die wondering and many seen him as a 1st rounder last year with good reason
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

This is by no means an indictment on the kid as he is young and should be given time, but those talking about elite traits etc.........I just haven't seen anything to get excited about yet.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

I remember watching the 2014 draft, counting off the picks as they approached our pick 33, hoping this guy would last and then yelling at the TV for Frank to pick him. Now Choco's got me excited all over again. I really think this bloke is a player. Pace to burn, great endurance, beautiful kick, a sidestep to die for and a sense of the occasion. Two words: Nigel Lappin.

Don't you dare get me that excited. I think Niger Lappin is the most underrated player of the last 25 years. All time gun.

I'd never set the bar that high for Connor.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Agree, SCOOP. Lappin was an underrated champion. But that's who Connor reminds me of.

He reminds me a bit of Jack McRae from the Dogs. That's what I'm hoping for.
