That would look funny.
41 players standing around waving teir arms coralling one individual in Dog colours.
Seriously, massive non event in my opinion

Selwood did it on the day everyone accepts it, MAD MONDAY, unless the Grand Final day is called SILLY SATURDAY now it's not on.
It's these little things that make up the sum of our parts & results.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
This is an interesting notion.
Some of us grow up as very passionate supporters of a footy club and I for one reckon if I'd been good enough to play in the AFL, I wonder how I would have reconciled who I barracked for with who I played for.
I can understand Harms' position completely.
Having said that, all of my family on my father's side are mad Tiger fans and one of my cousins played a handful of games in one year at the Hawks in the 1970s.
He's been a Hawks fan ever since.

FWIW Dimma said he did well in the VFL in his presser.

It's a special technique called the 'Morris'... it gets Dimma every time.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Menadue was a bit hard to gauge at times last year.
He definitely dropped off a bit during his time in the seniors. Looking back on that I think he just got worn down.
It was his reserves form after that that I've had to stew over. I think he was playing a bit too much to instruction. Almost letter of the law stuff. And his form wasn't as good as I expected. It was a bit paint-by-numbers. He could get a kick just not as many as I thought he might have.
I am certain that it's about maturity. That Connor is young and spirited. And maybe not ready for some of the limitations of senior footy.
I was and am entirely happy that he spends time with McRae. But it wasn't happening quickly. The penny drop.
His intra club form had been more of the same. Paint by numbers and this time not enough activity. Thats why I was surprised to hear that he had excelled in last week's reserves hit out. He knows that he's being passed by others and he has to fight for a spot. *smile*, he's growing up.
He's the type who can come on quickly. A big watch for 2017.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
I'm not as big a fan as others Jack, however with a lot more genuine ball winners in the middle CM could well be able to play to his strengths and give us great run and speed on the outside, if he runs hard enough they'll use him a lotDyer'ere said:

Spot on!
With Prestia, Vlaustin and Caddy all spending time in the middle there will be opportunities galore for the outside players to link up and get involved on the spread. Quicker ball movement out of the back half should also help players like Connor.
If given the opportunity he could really excel.

Massive oppurtunity for Menadue to cement his spot in front of the likes of Markov, C Ellis, Drummond and put some real pressure on all the outside runners I.e B Ellis
