Connor Menadue [merged]

Finally.

[lamington]

did not rate his game at all last night. missed his shot on goal and that turnover in the middle of the ground.... i am normally not one to say drop a kid after a few games but he has played 3 in a row now and I think the pace of AFL is still waaaay beyond him at this point in time

[Jackstar 1960]

Like Connor
Will be good

[Diocletian]

Hs much-vaunted pace might actually be real after all- was starting to think it was a myth....

Surely too young, quick & skillful for your liking?

He can actually read the play
Unlike the headless chook in Oleg

The headless chook was agin in our best players against Werribee....

Seriously Jack, when you applauded Morris' inclusion for the game against Adelaide because he "trained well" and he was then banished never to return, it doesn't make you a good judge of headless chooks, because truth be known Morris is the king of headless chooks.

Thought he earned his spot last night. Creative use when we were going forward. Did some really good things in the first quarter in particular. I'm not convinced at ALL on him but he impressed me last night.

Yep and both will play the majority season in the VFL, why ?
As they ain't in our best 22
End of story
Oh wait, let's give Ben Lennon a game and drop Grigg or Houli
Spare me please

No. He should play instead of Lloyd who is struggling with the pace of the game. Our slow ball movement suited Lloyd last year. This year he looks too slow and is finding it difficult. Lennon has continued to play well in the VFL and is at a better age to adapt to the pace of the game. He should be in instead of Lloyd.

[Jackstar 1960]

Well you must watch a different game to me
Lennon has zero defensive presssure
That's why he doesn't get a game

[Slipper]

Finally.

I watched a replay of the game after hearing Dimma mention his game in his press conference.

He did some nice things. He needs to do it more often.

[big tone]

I think it's pretty clear most of us watch a different game to you. 
Except maybe Houli's and Grigg's families.

Menadue is exciting and worked hard on winning contested footy. He is now starting to use his leg speed and endurance to advantage. Very good young player is Connor

Well, if you haven't noticed, we have Rioli, Bolton, Castagna and Butler there to provide defensive pressure. Last year it was only Rioli so Lennon needed to help out there too. He has improved his defence a little and we have those others to provide the pressure. He brings in elite kicking which we need. A football team is made up of different types each providing their bit of input. Lennon brings something unique to the table. He should be given a decent run in the firsts. As opposed to Steve Morris, he has talent. Steve tries hard, extremely hard and gives us 100% but he just doesn't have the ability to make it. Ben does have the ability, he just needs a decent run at it.

[Jackstar 1960]

Seriously Lennon ?
Wanted to leave last year , nobody wanted him
If he was any good , should be playing , but he ain't

Back to the topic. Like Menadue
Plenty of upside
Knows where to run
