Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Made some mistakes last night but I thought he was more involved in the game. A better result than going missing like he has in recent games.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Love his endeavour and despite turning the ball over, he doesn't drop into his shell as he constantly was looking to take the game on. His disposal by foot last night was pretty average but I thought a lot of his in tight handballing was good.
If we decide to give him a rest or a week or 2 in the 2's, we need another runner so you'd think Markov would be the one to play in place of him.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Nah his composure is fine. Had it in spades earlier in the year.
Just lacking a little touch and confidence ATM.
No harm in him going back for a few weeks if the VFL team can keep performing to he can build again.
Otherwise keep him in the one's.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
His composure is likely suffering due to the distance he's covering. I'd say he's still learning the balance of his engine. Late in the third he was continually in the play and showed some good inside smarts.

Rest completely to freshen up?
Actually add that as an option leysy advocates as well.

Doesn't need a rest, keep him going. Will thrive as the season gets longer.

nah, at some stage i wouldnt object to him going back the vfl to try to have some 20+ possession games and kick some goals.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
I thought his game against Sydney was pretty good and certainly the best he has had for a number of weeks. He is definitely improving and doesn't seem overawed anymore, but I think he physically needs a rest for a week.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Unless he needs a rest keep getting games into him. I am sure the club would be carefully managing his workload at this stage. If you remember what Blair Hartley said on the 2014 draft video "he will take 3 years". Better to get to that 3 year mark with 30 games under his belt than only a handful.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Menadue made a few blues but we re seeing him work through getting to the next level,that he can really have an impact on a game and start nudging 20 possies
Yep I've noticed in recent weeks that menadue , ellis and even rioli have clearly been urged to carry the ball. They are nt much good to us giving red hot dinky handballs ,,,,Miles too has got in his bikelamb22 said:
