Connor Menadue [merged]

[Yeahright]

Can't really compare most kids to Menadue, he is literally a stick. But I get your point. One that does my head in is McIntosh. Seriously, the bloke is a big unit and pretty darn strong yet he's brushed aside easier than I think I've seen anyone before

[Yeahright]

Sorry lads but I think he needs a stint in the twos.

Sorry lads but I think he needs a stint in the twos.

I actually thought he looked promising when he used his pace again last night. He kinda just screwed it up each time unfortunately. I'd stick with him I reckon a good game is around the corner.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about..

There was a moment for me when he looked like he kicked into gear and was about to burn off into open space but that only lasted for half a second because he just blazed away and kicked it straight to a Sydney player. For me he doesn't use his pace, he only teases. I'm not going to be fussed if he keeps getting games, better him than someone like Hunt but if another kid came in I'd be all for it. Just give him a bit of a break, get some confidence in his speed and bring him back

Yep that was the main example I was thinking about. Burst through the middle then fell over himself and scrubbed a kick forward to a Syd player. Just think maybe in 2 weeks he doesn't fall over himself and kicks that long into the 50 which would break the game open.

If he's down on confidence I agree give him a run in the 2's to find some footy. I just thought he showed more promising signs and more signs of confidence than he had the previous 2 weeks.

Was actually thinking of another one, not the one when he fell over. I didn't mind that, he showed some intent and just made an error. It was another more out on the wing near D50.

Yeah good point, was definitely better this week than the past two.

So happy we picked him as he possesses a pure footy brain. He does so many good things but I love how he flights his kicks to team mates advantage.....pure class  

[Andyy]

Quick, runs with the ball, excellent kicking and composure.

FMD we may have grabbed a couple of reasonable players with late picks lately!

Agreed. He was great to watch yesterday, particularly in that first half. Along with C Ellis and Rioli they are a trio of teenagers who are developing nicely.

This is why you play young guys even when they look like they arent ready. Give them blocks of games regardless of performance then drop them for a stint in the twos to work on weaknesses exposed, then back up to the seniors - rince and repeat a few more times until they are bonafide afl players(or shown they wont make it). Not hard

Why bother dropping them? Apparently that has nothing to do with players improving their form

[Hellenic Tiger]

Trade while he has value.
I 'm sure Blair and Dan have a 5 star Port player picked for him
Who just can't break into this all conquering Power side.

John Mitchell. We need more Steven Segal's we have too many PJ's from Blue Heelers.
