Yep. I'm a Due fan. Thing I like most about him is his poise after he goes on one of his runs. He doesn't just blaze away. Good user.
I watched the boy play through his junior years and he improves out-of-sight  at each new level when he believes he 'belongs'. There was one heavy contact looming today where he could have pulled out but you could almost see him saying to himself (after last week) - no, I'm not doing that again. Good on him.

I agree Big Note, I'm ashamed to see that not one poster here has critiqued the kid despite a good game and called for him to be delisted

He showed that pace I been hearing about, he can hustle and he didn't gas out either.

Just goes to show why its so important to give young developing players a block of games regardless of form. Last week he was putrid and most people including myself wanted him dropped - prior to that he probably played his 2 best games for us, coaches decided to give him another chance to atone for last week and he probably played his best game for us, was sure with his touch, and once the game opened up his run and carry was huge

Another good effort from Connor. His pace and line breaking ability is finally coming to the fore - particularly in 2nd halves when others have heavy legs.

His Pace was a real weapon against Port. Took a good grab in the second half and is chase down of Neade forced a turnover.

Has redeemed himself somewhat these last two matches and if he can maintain the upward trajectory between now and season's end Footscray may even give us a first rounder..... :shh
