Connor Menadue [merged]

In short:

B Ellis > GCS for end 1st round pick = pick 20

Butler > Carlton for pick 46 (I'm being realistic)

MKac + Menadue > Fremantle for Cerra if they'll bite.


Go to the draft with picks 19, 20, 38, 39, 46, 72, 74, 92. Maybe trade some of them for 2020 picks to ensure enough points for MR Jr.

Would Menadue get Freo to take 38 and 46 in exchange for 26?

On points index alone 38 + 46 is a little better than 26, so I would assume so yes.

However I see Menadue as a potential steak knife for a KMac for Cerra deal.

I would like to see KMac but I see him as a role player and depth/surplus to requirements. Cerra still has more development potential in him, which Fremantle probably knows, and would therefore value him higher than KMac especially being a high draft pick and so young.


Essentially if we get ANYTHING for Menadue I'd be thrilled given that I'm happy to delist him otherwise!

VFL premiership Tiger on the move?

Richmond midfielder Connor Menadue has struggled for senior opportunities the last few years, despite showing some very strong form in the VFL this season in particular.

Fremantle football boss Peter Bell confirmed AFL.com.au's report that the Dockers are keen on the speedster.

"I won't give a narrative on names, but clearly Richmond is an exceptional team with a very deep list," Bell said on ABC Grandstand when asked about the Tiger.

"Looking at the quality of player who was running around for Richmond in their VFL premiership, you've no doubt spoken about some of the other players who are in there.

"Connor's a player that has been clearly persistent, he's been durable, he's got that rare mix of speed and endurance and he's really hard to find.

"There's no doubt there'll be interest in Connor, but again, I'm not going to be running a narrative on individual players."

The real question is will The Machine jump ship as well?

Let's see this play out before knee jerk reactions

Connor Menadue has received interest from Fremantle as it looks to replace wingmen Ed Langdon (Melbourne) and potentially Bradley Hill. - Mitch Cleary

So you are happy to give away a player who can run 15 kms. a match, sprint at 34kms an hr (top ten in the AFL) and is good on his left and right.

He was one of the few VFL players who stood up when we were being pumped in the Finals and kept us in the game.

He was a pick 33 so I would prefer to keep him as he has been trending up for the last few years and played solid football when given the chance this year.

Reality is he has had 5 years on our list and is still a FRINGE player at best. And he is soft.

Granted he is better than VFL standard but a long way off getting into our side at AFL level.

Pretty simple IMO- he gets traded or delisted

Freo are going to have to give us the best couple of items from their vending machine to snatch this warrior.

If he is soft as you claim then Naish and Turner are fluff as they went missing when the heat was on during the VFL finals while Menadue stood up.

Well gee wiz a player who's been on the list for five years played better in the reserves than a second year player & a first year player....

Yes, because despite all those lovely attributes he is still not an AFL standard player - not at our premiership club!

Trending up for a few years? He's had a full five years on our senior list. If he was going to make it he would have by now, elsewise we can expect him to crack our 22 and play a full season when, in another five years?

Sorry but I don't see it. Trade for anything we can get or just delist him. He's a VFL standard player, same with Towner, Markov etc

Diode we are well aware of ability to judge AFL standard players as your recent demands that our premiership ruckman Soldo be delisted a few months ago showed.

By the way I was drawing an Analogy of players softness in hard games not the ability to play if you bothered to read the thread.

[WilliamPowell]

After 5 years he hasn't been able to establish himself as an AFL player in our side. I think he is like number of other players in the game. Too good for VFL but falls short at AFL level

If someone is prepared to trade for him, then just do the trade.

[Simonator]

I don't mind keeping menadue for another year or two, we just might need him in case we get bad injuries again and he is more ready for AFL than some of our younger players that need another year or two ( rcd, Naish )
