Welcome to the Tigers - Connor Menadue

Where clear on top of the VFL ladder and it seems by all counts there's no much down there deserving a promotion
That's very weird

Besides some talls (garthy ccj balta) and some small forwards (stengle bolton baker) the cupboard is empty in the 2's.

Where's the next line of midfielder's?
Is Soldo our only ruck option?
Carthwaite should be getting game time, from all accounts he is a beast in a contest but struggles with kicking. Balta yes to getting a game.
The other 3 not sure
 
I don't see any upside for Connor. He is very timid and doesn't get enough of the ball to influence the game. Same as Corey Ellis. Needs to go back to 2's and play if we are really desperate.
 
Was really hoping he'd shine the last few weeks. Pretty dissapointing really; too tentative. Not involved enough.
 
Unfortunately none of our depth (other than Short) have made the jump from VFL. Menadue's had three games to show what he's got but it hasn;t been enough. Markov is the obvious replacement but his form has been inconsistent. Baker perhaps? Does Balta have the tank yet?
 
Never been a fan. And I think he has blown his chance.

Terrible last night

Uncontracted and gone imo

x2

Has played some powerful quarters in a few games prior to this stint. Just haven't seen it this time. Disappointing.

Baker has the mongrel in him and the go, id be happy to see him at some stage if his good VFL form continues.
 
Boy have I been wrong on this bloke , has made a nuffy of me with his form who right now looks a certain delisting , hope he can step up but chances will soon evaporate
 
With his build is too easily pushed aside and though he’s a good running type our game style doesn’t suit him unless he plays forward where he can run onto the ball in open play.
 
Running out of chances.

Far too outside, picks and chooses when he runs & isn’t creative enough with the ball.

Not sure there is that many 187cm outside types. Who does he end up like?
 
Jesus has this guy gone backwards since last year. What happened? His trajectory was looking ok, but now he is nosediving

Isaac Smith is apparently 188cm. I think Connor's biggest issue is that he's not a smart footballer (at AFL level at least). Doesn't run to the right spots on the ground for a wingman for mine. The fact he has a career high of 19 disposals is evidence of this. As is the goal against Essendon where he was almost incredulous that he had that much space to run. Any decent midfield isn't going to give a slight wingman that much space in transition. Again against, Essendon he just always seemed a little bit out of position to get on the end of a handball chain or quick burst from a stoppage.

A LOT of work to do for him to make it imo. Not looking great at the moment.
 
Had 1 less disposal from 10% less game time than McIntosh and used it much better. Try him on the wing and let McIntosh go back to the VFL.

Yes! Start giving others a go at the 'protect the space' job. 8 disposals used well surely has to be better than 8 disposals used poorly?
