Next up is Daniel Connors who turned 23 today.
Dan began 2011 in the starting 22 and played in the first three games of the season before injury wrote off the rest of the year. After 5 years at Punt Rd, do you think the club will/should persist with Dan or will we try and trade him?
Connors is contracted until the end of 2012.
Career so far:

2007: 4 6.0 7.8 13.8 5.0 0.5 0.1

wont be there in 2012
-
Wants out according to the rat on The Footy Show.
-
5 years at the club at only 1 season has played 5 games or more.
Thats about as terrible as you can possibly get. Injury or not, would have to play 22 games next year and finished top 12 in our B&F to get an extention.
Shop him round for a 3rd rounder.
-
The soft tissue injury he had during the season seemed to take an eternity to repair. Now he's up for trade...
-
You can't have a guy who has been in the system for 5 years have 1 season where he has played 5 games or more.
There are some seriously talented young players being delisted at other clubs who have injury prone first 2-3 seasons, yet we hang on to a Connors for 5 seasons.
We are stuck with him for a 6th, if he cant play 22 games can't possibly suggest that we look to a 7th season for 22 games out of a player that has failed to do so over more than half a decade.
-
Injury ;D
seeya later Dan. am sure dusty and jack will be shattered
-
I don't care how talented the media the club or some fans think he is.
22 games since making his debut in 2007 is not good enough.
Trade will be better for player and club. :thumbsup
-
Currency, can't see anything higher than a high 4th round draft pick.
-
Will probably get shot down as working this junk out has never been my strong point, but if it were true what the Rat said about Connors and McDud would it be worth trying to bank a 3rd rounder for at least one of them? Just in the case that another club tries to keep us honest should we commit to Morris and someone chucks a 3rd or 4th at him?
-
Yeah, Neah, ...... Neah
Fat arsed one trick pony - move him on.
-
Injury ;D

Both will be destroyed
-
Get rid of Dan Connors RFC and I'll make a nother donation to the FTF
Send him packing - selfish player
-
These are the type of list cloggers we need to get rid of to move fwd
-
I really am feeling the love for young Dan Connors in this thread
:rollin :rollin :rollin
-
Mentally soft.
Id move him on, but there are few in front of him.

^def a few that could go before him based on skill but i think he is going to be a "what-if" type of player/prick...teased us like a dirty whore with his 2010...that "soft tissue injury" dragged on waaaay too long & he's never seemed able to grasp the whole mental requirements of afl - probably will become a local league legend somewhere...
-
GAWN
-
Unless we get a fair trade for Danny - he wont be going anywhere
trust me - if we let him go for nicks, he will be a star for another club
-
he's a prodigious talent no doubt, sheesh we havent got much to judge him on 2011, but 2010 was near enough to AA material :shh
-

So what do you think is fair trade?
-
I would be surprised to get any draft pick for him round four at best, the bloos may swap him for Collo

Over our mid season revival where we won five from 6 games?
Hardly. How many players play half a season and then do nothing more for their careers. Clear downhill skier.

lol turn it up camboon - he has talent but doesnt have the dedication and mental focus to be an afl player let alone a star. Hes finished, needs to be cut
-
He was injured all year - nothing to do with dedication as his injury was a result of over training pre season ( over dedicated?) - but of course you remembered that :whistle
I believe he may be involved with a player swap - but early days yet - based on age, talent and potential he has value in the market.

Yeah but what's his value?
Everyone knows I am not a fan so I reckon we'd lucky to get a 2nd rounder for him or in player swap situation what would you get? I woild think a Grigg type deal would be the best you'd could get and that's not that great a deal
-
Agree with your assessment WP, but some have put him up as a 4th round or worse and if that was the case I believe we will keep him!
-
Well I was a fan of Connors but I think it has come the time to sever ties with Dan, I don't think he will amount to much now, although maybe one more year injury free..........eh WP.... :lol
-
Most players are lucky to play a dozen games before they are 20. Connors was injured all this year and suspended half of last year. How's he supposed to play? 8)
-
Best to sever ties with him. Best for us and best for him.
Hopefully we can get a trade with another club in a direct player for player swap.
-
We've got lots of his type and he is well down in the pecking order now. Chuck his name around and see if something worthwhile presents itself. Will be no loss to the club if he goes and no win if he stays.
-

Yeah I agree about a 4th rounder - pointless this year and I agree for that we'd keep him
-
i'd keep him just to troll some of the ferals
-
He has flair and thats about it in my opinion...appears to be very selfish
-
Connors' reputation has spread to opposition forums - 'talented but the one Cousins smacked around the mouth at 3am in Sydney'

Found this on the North website where they've listed Connors as a Roo lol
http://www.kangaroos.com.au/players/playerprofile/tabid/8141/default.aspx?playerid=15494&typeid=2
Don't get too excited though as the North website has webpages for many non-Kangaroo players for some unknown reason.

He's not at the Brownlow tonight which cannot be a good sign.......... :gobdrop

Holy Freakin Shnitzels! ;D

Dan's new best mates are Bernie Vince and Taylor Walker from the Crows (plus Saint Sam Fisher)...
bvince17 Bernie Vince twitter:
"Just having a few bday drinks in melb with a few great mates including @Danconnors19 @SamFisher25 @texwalker13 good times!"
@Danconnors19 Daniel connors twitter:
"@bvince17 @SamFisher25 @texwalker13 couple of my new best mates xxx"
This got tongues wagging on BF about Dan maybe heading to the Crows via a trade.
-
I chucked these up too in the Maric thread. Possible straight player swap? Couldn't exactly lose since it wouldn't have mattered this year if Connors was around or not.
