Probably the closest any Tiger player will get to being on the MCG on grand final day for some years.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

kid can play......bad luck boys.....he had an off day...... playing a kid with promise ,hope and potential against a hack who tries his all......keep playing the kid. Massive upside
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

There are only three things stopping me getting #37 on my dufflecoat:
1. I don't have a dufflecoat.
2. If I did, it would have #8 on it, like my last (and only) one.
3. This is the last year Connor will wear 37.

This kid was awesome today. He made what, 20 *smile* ups? Against overwhelming odds this skinny child ran up and down that oval 50 times at full speed. He made a million mistakes because he was gassed. And he went again.

After Connor Menadue had busted his balls for the Richmond Football Club and could no longer raise a gallop, Mr Damien Hardwick sent our lad back to mind that bludging reputation Milera, who had a full tank. They'll meet again. My money is on Connor.
So much this. A 6'2 flyweight who keeps coming. Super-talented and busts a gut. Can Lennon move in with him for some mentoring?
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

A lot of uncharacteristic mistakes but love his style. Once he's matured and built up a bit I can see he'll rarely lose 1 on 1 contests.

Why is he so skinny, while other clubs kids look like they have been working out from birth.

Too many carbs and not enough protein

Last year he was skinny.
This year he's actually bigger and stronger.
No doubt it's part of the plan and he'll continue to bulk up over the next couple.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

He played injured.
Seemed to have a corky which he couldn't run out.
I'm not worried about Connor - he's a keeper.

Kids a pencil n will always be a pencil, doesn't stop him being a player though. Old man Tuck was a pencil all his career. Bob Murphy's been a pencil all his career. Mendoo's just another one of those talented pencils. Pretty sure he's the one they were discussing at the table on draft night n I think it was Hartley said he'll take three years of developing, got the feeling he might have misjudged by a fair bit. Mendoo's coming along very nicely.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Love this guy. Don't mind him making mistakes at this stage as he at least tries to create and break the lines.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

For a pencil me a due has amazing work ethic. He had a massive 24 pressure acts yesterday,
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Not a great day for him yesterday, but he's in his 2nd year and has played less than 10 games, that'll happen. Keep him in the side for now, he'll learn from it.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

He's a ripper this lad. Can see what he wants to do and he gets involved but he is too light now but wait until he fills out. Will be a genuine player
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Wow he's been atrocious again tonight his hands are horrid. I like him a lot but just not ready at all
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

his strengths are his run and carry. he's been handbraked already
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

One of the more creative players. Is he playing a stop job on Hurn?

Being taught about defence lol
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue


Connor is suffering a bit for his lack of size, and exhaustion as he sprints dozens of repeats up and down his wing. And gets to every contest.

I love his standards. I love his pride.

I'd give him another month on the wing/hb/hf then maybe freshen him up and give him a go forward.

A young man of the highest football character. I wish we had five of him.
