Connor Menadue will remain a Tiger until at least the end of 2018.

Richmond has extended the contract of talented teenager Connor Menadue for a further two seasons.

The new deal means Menadue, a Western Jets and Vic Metro product, will remain at Richmond until at least the end of 2018.

Menadue, 19, was selected by the Club with pick No.33 in the 2014 AFL National Draft.

He played five senior matches in his debut season and has cemented his spot in the senior line-up this year.

The wingman has featured in 11 games this year, kicking five goals.

Richmond has also extended the contracts of young players, defender Nick Vlastuin and midfielder pair Corey Ellis and Nathan Drummond from the strong 2014 AFL National Draft.

Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson, said the Club was impressed with Menadue’s progress.

“Connor has already shown exciting signs in first two seasons at the Club," Richardson said.

"At 19 years old, he is still very young but we are confident he is firmly in our future plans.

“We are delighted to extend his contract beyond 2016 and look forward to seeing his career continue ro develop

Poor bastard. If this footy department & awesome coaching continues, his career is stuffed.


Richmond FC, ruining careers since '83.

Why only two years FFs

[Yeahright]

Heard we re-signed a player and hoped it was Vickery. Then we could hear how we should give him until the end of his contract, not just this year

Not having a shot at him after all he may turn out to be one of very few 2nd 3rd round picks we have taken who works out. Was happy they took him and thought him a good pick.
I still wish we had taken Connor Blakeley instead though.
I still think Durdin,  Blakely was the way to go Kpp followed by a big consistent inside mid.
In fact i would have been happy with any of Durdin,Lever, and Goddard with our first pick.I opted for Durdin.

Man we have had some great opportunities over several drafts to shore up our talls and inside mid stocks.It just never happens though.

I agree with your sentiment - we have too many flankers. But I think Menadue will prove to be a good pick.

Deledio discussing Menadue:

“Connor is a kid that I like.  He’s got a lot of pizzazz about him.  He doesn’t mind pumping himself up a little bit, but he also back himself in with the footy and doesn’t mind running and carrying.  And that’s something that we probably need in our team.”

just needs to eat and put on size to be a regular player next year if so and gets that grut think a wing or a a bit more pace in the forward 50 could work for him

[eliminator]

Needs to get more of the ball. Has shown he can play at this level.

[Yeahright]

Funny, didn't think he really showed much of his alleged pace

[Diocletian]

Saw a brief glimpse of it last night for about two seconds...but it may have just been an optical illusion....

[WilliamPowell]

Rather disappointing night TBBH

Nneds to get involved more

[Cheese]

Kid has only played 20 pdd games.

Same Corey Ellis.

Same Ben Lennon.

Need to keep playing them or hang on to the 22-25 that we have and give them cameos hope

for the best then on trade in the hope another Andrew Collins deal eventuates unearthing to us

another Grigg type long termer.
