Welcome to the Tigers - Connor Menadue

Love the look of him. Please put on weight and then sky is the limit!

I saw one of his games for Jets and thought he was pretty exciting. The linebreaker we have been looking for. Excellent kick as well. Can kick a long goal so wing will be his go initially.

Not great inside. But good sidestep.

Obviously needs to bulk up a lot. Hopefully works a bit harder in the gym than Shank.
Shank, Beano and now Menno. Gotta start a club. ;D

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Just what we need - a tall, quick, skillfull wingman. Welcome Aaron Fiora - eh Connor. :)

He tested reasonably well Phanto, just needs to put on some kilos. Will take 2 years minimum.

Given that you weren't expecting him to be around at 33 Bully, how does this result sit with you?
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Jumped off the couch when I saw we got Menadue. Would've been worthy of a much higher selection. Welcome Connor, go well!
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

He has been deemed an outside player so that's cool he has plenty of toe and kicks plenty of goals
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

From his highlight package the first thing that strikes me is he is skinny and to me who has a couple of beers is that he has that body shape that may be hard to muscle up. Also his field kicking seemed to get to much air which I worry will be more of an issue at the highest level. Personally from that package I can see why he was available.

He looks like Brett Deledio, minus 20 kilos.

Well we were wishing that we had three Brett Deledios at times during the season.

Now we'e got one and a half, ToTtie. ;D
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

A bloody good replacement for Matty White, albeit a year late. I can see him as our super sub next year.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

The pick a lot of us were hoping for at 33.

Happy with Menadue.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

In time the best player of out 15' lot ILO.

Excellent choice.

It has evened up the ledger in a very high risk strategy so I'm pleased with the outcome. It's definitely not something I would have done myself but one can't complain about the results. Menadue is an exciting footballer and should provide us with some much needed dash, he will take time though and I'm still not convinced that Drummond will be the answer in the short term.

So where does that place us in the forseeable future? I really don't know, I think next year we won't be seeing any added run, the clock is now officially ticking so time is of the essence. We simply have to get Dangerfield next year or a player of a similar ilk. Menadue we can tuck away and unleash in 2017, in the meantime Blair Hartley's work will be cut out, this mysterious war chest better be put to good use.
