Yep, about sums it up. Most had a soft spot for the bullies but that's taking it a it far for a kid that's done sfa. They should make him wear it at tackling practice in the Pre-season.

Agree.

It's been a long year Jack. :D

Not an easy one footballwise, SA. Let's hope we can have a bit of luck at the draft.

Trade him to the doggies for the Bomt
And in 2 years the Bont will be Grigg like

Boring, boring, boring. This is a nothing issue.

Good on you Connor, be comfortable with your decision.

Clubs have no loyalty ever talked to an ex player boys?
Absolutely it is a non-issue.
Did any of you actually go to his Instagram post? ...

Most of us wanted the Bulldogs to win, he's just enjoying the day with his mates supporting the doggies. So what?

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

In breaking news, young Richmond footballer turns out to be human, not a machine.

What a massive overreaction by some.

I think I am all over this love for the Dogs. Plus I hadn't had my morning coffee during my rant. ;D

It is an interesting one Smoking, i understand the angst and anger, however i am also of the opinion Balmey should have probably called the KID Sunday morning and said mate, thats not on, your a paid professional athlete with RFC and the issue is dead.

Don't think there was anything sinister he's just a kid who loves his footy

Wont last long in the Hardwick regime having emotion
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Just wondering, did any other players from other clubs decide to do this?

It's so Richmond of the last 35 years, slightly unprofessional and makes the club look soft.

So dumb. I've no doubt the club will have words with him. And so they should. How would your workplace feel if photos of you in one of your major competitors gear started rolling in?

So Richmond like. So unprofessional.

Connor loves football. Football won.

Let him live.

He grew up in Sunshine FFS.

If you havnt got a soft spot for the dogs in Sunshine, you get deported to Hawthorn.

The closest thing I can remember is when I read a Wayne Harms profile. Apparently someone asked him who he barracked for as a kid and he said 'Richmond, still do' he explained it later saying I barrack for Richmond, I work for Carlton.

Yep i thought along those lines when i saw people giving the kid grief, people need to remember unlike you and me these kids dont get to pick who they work for, they get drafted and thats it.
They have barracked and supported a club as passionate as you and i, there is know way i could give up my emotional attachment if i was picked to work somewhere else.

Joel Selwood went to his mad Monday dressed as Jake King in a Richmond jumper a few years ago didn't he?

Yep, but wasn't as good as Matty Scarlett a few years before that, going with the comb over and number 29 :)

Had been a dogs fan all his life, all players have a soft spot for their old teams they supported as kids. Nothing post.

Agree - fine to wear - though extremely dumb move to post it ...
