Boy he has some PACE ! Doesnt look like a fast type but he glides over the surface. Real serious pace.

Very raw but has something about him. Will be interesting to see him play once he has more size.

That goal to kill the game was awesome. Showed great composure to bang it through from 55m out. Loved the boys getting around him after it.

I can see some Deledio in young Connor!  He's got the height, the speed & the footy smarts to be a really good versatile mid/forward.  Needs time to develop & muscle up more to be better in traffic & packs, but then we will have LidsMk11.  Loved his long goal in the last ... loved it!   :clapping

Connor Menadue interview ...

On his ideal playing position within the team:  “I think my running ability is my strength, and then to go up forward and maybe kick some goals, or down back if they need me.  But I think the wing and half-forward would mostly be my position.”

On modelling his game on other league players:  “(Hawthorn pair) Bradley Hill and Isaac Smith are very fast and running players, so I’ve looked at their games a little bit.  And then, I guess, you’ve got to surround your game a bit around (Fremantle’s Nathan) Fyfe.  He’s turning into, they say, the perfect player.  So, mostly the running players, but then, even Fyfe, how he’s strong over the ball and in the air.”

then he is is mentally weak and cant respond to adversity
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Hes 18, it's called a lack of maturity
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
