Best 22 easily. Gives us outside run and sharp ball use which is something we lack

Yep, spot on  :thumbsup

Agree with all these comments. Very clean, looks composed this year, and excellent foot skills. He'll get pushed of the ball at times still but I'd take his 15 possies over 25 from B Ellis.

Talented young Tiger Connor Menadue further pressed his claims for a place in Richmond’s senior side for the season-opener against Carlton on March 24 with an impressive showing in the Club’s final NAB Challenge match ...

RICHMOND - Connor Menadue

Having played five matches last year, Connor Menadue is a chance of becoming a mainstay in the Richmond forward line in 2016. At 187cm, Menadue is a difficult match up and was quite dangerous throughout the NAB Challenge. He averaged 13 disposals and three tackles per game, while kicking three goals from three matches. His ability to move through the midfield could also be important for the Tigers.

Connor Menadue built on a solid pre-season preparation, with an impressive showing in Richmond’s opening round win against Carlton at the MCG.

The skilful Tiger speedster finished with 13 disposals, including two goals, two goal assists and three rebound-50s, four marks, plus four tackles.

They’re not huge numbers, but it’s the quality of Menadue’s work which makes him such an exciting prospect.

One of my new favorites.
I hope he keeps improving and continues to keep working hard.
The sky's the limit for this kid.
He and a few other young ones (C. Ellis, Vlastuin, Rioli) could be what we need to be a top 4 side.

Draft combine results in 2014 suggest yes.
Came 3rd in the 20m sprint with 2.88 sec (Oleg Markov and Reece Mackenzie equal second with 2.87)
Came equal 6th in the repeat sprints with a time of 24.14 sec

The dude is fast.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
