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.

Me too. I couldn't believe he and Blakely were both available. No wonder they took a while to make the pick!
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

I was and still am a massive blakely fan. However, Connor has all the potential to turn into a very handy player for us
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue


Just needs time to build a body first. At his current weight, will be crunched and brushed aside.

There's less and less easy outside ball in today's game of aerobic machine players.

But has the tools to be a winner ; I'm thinking along the lines of Isaac Smith of Hawks eventually.

Shifter was a massive wrap for Connor, had him penciled in as a top 20 selection. I'm on the record as plumping for Blakely (mainly due to Weller being my first selection) but will happily have Menadue as the consolation prize.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Had a good game today. Kicked a goal but worked hard in getting back to help out defence.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Some very pleasing signs tonight!
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

I repeat: Player. Will be our best wingman since Bryan Wood.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Loved his game. Starting to get to the right spots to get possession. His kicking is very solid.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Corey and Connor look like they will inject some much needed class over the next few years. Refreshing.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

For me this guy is the most exciting thing to happen this pre-season.

He is exactly the player we lack. Very Isaac smithesque
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Star in the making. Looks like Bomtempelli.

That's pretty esteemed company, spook. Hope you're right. Did like what I saw yesterday, though.

True - and he looked a bit harder and stronger in his body.
Last year he was really quite skinny so this second pre-season has been a good one along with just being a year older I suppose.
Good signs.
