I was hoping Connors would rediscover his 2010 form this coming season but I never like hearing players are missing any part of preseason for any reason, let alone for 'personal issues' :-\
-
looks like they have plugged the last of the leaks at punt rd.
in recent times ol' Jacky would have been all over this.
-
Very interesting, considering a poster started a rumour on BF last night about Connors allegedly being banned from the club. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=894070

Assuming this is true (a big assumption I admit), I wonder what the reason would be for this exclusion?

It is true, from the Richmond website.

Is he working on his middle girth strength instead.

maybe he is in another state

Mate, this is old news .
You want to find him, he is at Squires Loft a fair bit.
whats the point anyway.

drunk?

chose booze over a football career.

Seriously, how many personal issues can a bloke have? You don't have to be a victim to your own demons if you are smart and tough enough to pull yourself out.

couldnt pull himself :whistle

He needs to be horse whipped and packed off back to hillbilly territory where he can get back to shoveling pig poo and shagging the local livestock instead of being a tiresome burden on the club. How many blokes missed out in the draft would give their left aggett to get the chances he did? Talent is not a ticket to act like a spoiled brat.

Like I said about North Melbourne, we don't need either down here mate, theres barley enough livestock to go round as it is >:( ;D ;D

going back to allroy gilligan, every player who has been given a leave of absence to sort out personal issues has found themselves no longer on the richmond list at the end of the year.

This is effing ridiculous.
Does Connors play with a nappy on?

Probably shows the pressures and dedications required to play AFL footy is hard enough without additional personal issues/demons.
The Club must still be holding out on hope as Dan wasn't delisted yesterday.

20 games in 5 seasons superstar.
This time next year he'll be a 23 game supernova.

thus the heavier emphasis in character when recruiting. It will be interesting to see if they try any risky high reward types again when we have a more mature and stable list.
RT (Ruthless Tiger?) on BF is saying that the personal issue has to do with a family member rather Dan himself.
-
Never should have been drafted, shocking blue from recruiters.

If true that would then explain why he wasn't delisted.

Geez Connors just cant get his act together and have a full, continuous & breakout pre-season.
Really has to get his body to an optimal level in this pre-season to have any chance of sustaining an AFL career.
If he uses this break to acheive a skin fold and fitness base he may have a chance when the boys crank it up in January, if not his papers will be well & truly stamped for VFL where he will be deemed a list clogger after 6 years in the system.
Your move Dan, display maturity or be finished up in 10 months.
-
if it was a girlfriend you would have ditched her 2 years ago.
High maintenance with every excuse under the Sun.
Nothing can be without drama.
RFC needs men who can deal with personal issues and play football NOT guys who cant handle reality and professional life.
Goodbye.
-
Should have put a clause in his contract if he screws up time again see ya later when he resigned.Deadwood he is rather kid.
-
Injury-hit Daniel Connors has missed the US trip because of personal issues but will rejoin training before Christmas.

Didn't Mitch Morton & Troy Taylor have 'personal issues'?... :whistle
RFC NDP
-
Agree with DT. Needs to address his personal issues, assess where he is going and if he wants to play football make a concerted effort to get back on track.

Given that he will rejoin the group before christmas It's pretty safe to assume he hasnt violated his alcohol restrictions.
RT seems to think it is a serious illness or death of a family member.

If this is hte case every one who has been bagging him and taking pot shots should have a good hard look at themselves.

Why? " you reap what you sow" if T Cotchin missed the trip for personal reasons we would jump to a different conclusion. He has form off field and the club hasnt helped by being vague about it
-
so condemning someone for wanting to spend time with their family beacause of a death or serious illness if OK if that person is not a perfect human being?

STFU Al (refusing to call you dad ever again) and read carefully you old man ;D

pal.
This idiot always has an excuse.

Whatever the personal reason(s) are I think everyone including Dan himself knows that 2012 is a make or break year for him. Other younger blokes will easily pass him by in the pecking order if he doesn't step up and play most of next year in the seniors.
-
This is the thing right.
Sam Mitchell had serious personal issues last year and still missed only one game. He is a true professional who bleeds for his club.
You would've thought he would still attempt to join his mates in the states. With all the issues surrounding Connors i would've expected the club to say if it concerned a family member/illness. IMO i think its all being hidden nicely and has something to do with himself.
the bloke has issues and we dont need his type at our club. We should've offloaded him and MM to the swans.
Both rubbish attitudes we dont need.
-
If the issues are family illness related surely that is catergorised as family issues?
Personal issues is just an excuse for a ugly PR reason and we don't want the issue to be discussed in teh media for the clubs sake and the players sake.
Regardless if the reason is genuine or not, this is Dans last season.

yep another Ty Zantuck TM. Good riddons to the bloke he needs to get help like his mate Morton.
-
yep another huge mistake by RFC keeping this clown. If you cant get on the track then make way for someone who wants to desperately play AFL. l have always been against clubs keeping players who dont give any value. reminds me of Gogs

Correct.
-
This thread is a good example why RFC should provide more information about these things.
Why they can't just say Connors missed the trip because with a general reason, such as a death in his family.
It is hardly an invason of privacy and would stop things getting out of hand in the rumour mill.
