Connor Menadue [merged]

Would rather keep KMac

[crackertiger]

I would rather keep Menedue. He is now playing his best football. The games he played this year he played well. Good depth player and his best footy will come next year in my opinion. Any club that takes him will get an AFL ready player. We cannot trade all our depth away. We still have a few players to cut and this draft is not deep.

Ellis gone
Grigg retired
Weller retired
Butler going
McIntosh??
Aarts??
Townsend has to be gone unfortunately
Markov??

How many do we let go? Menedue is the best of that lot in my opinion.

Players that missed the GF / pushing our best 22 / more AFL games in 2020:
Rance
Graham
Stack
KMac
Ross
Higgins
Balta
Chol
CCJ
RCD
DES
Naish


So you see I have no issue moving Menadue on

CONNOR MENADUE (Richmond)

After failing to cement his side in Richmond’s best 22, Menadue is looking for a fresh start — and Fremantle appears a potential suitor. Once the Dockers get the Hill trade out of the way, Menadue might be heading west to join Justin Longmuir’s Dockers.

Menadue is the only one of our 18 survivors from 2015 who isn't a premiership player. 5th year players who haven't become regulars in the senior side are unlikely to be kept on.

The 18 survivors:
Grimes, Dusty, Ellis (gone), Grigg (gone), Jack, Cotch, Sheds, Astbury, Houli, Rance, Floss, Kmac, Menadue, Butler (going), Short, George, Lambert and Soldo.

Geez ... when Ivan Soldo (from a non football background) wins a premiership before you do ... geez ....   
Mind you, Soldo winning a premiership took plenty of people by surprise ...

Anymore baiting of other posters will see bans handed out under the site's 3 strike policy

And for some that may result in a permanent ban, strike 3 and you are OUT

How many should go. well if we use 5 nd picks  19, 38, 39, 41 plus any half decent pick that comes our way for Butler menadue thats 5 . Throw in the fact that Pickett , Stack, DES, Baker are currently rookies and i reckon they will hang onto Chol then we need to trade/delist/retire about 9.That is if there is a rookie list next yr.Not sure about what they are doing with rookies next yr.

[the claw]

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.

Reckon Markov falls into this sort of category as well. One yr less but same age and failed miserably in trying to establish himself as an AFL player.

rookies to delist

Aarts
Townsend
Weller ret

Seniors Delist/Trade/Retire

Grigg
Ellis
Butler likely trade
Menadue likely trade
McIntosh probably wants out.

In the gun
Markov
Moore
Miller
Short would be one i would personally shop around.


Rookie promotions

Stack
D-E-S
Pickett already done ?
Baker
Chol also a possibility. Hes been on the rookie list a long time not sure how it works with him.

Hard to disagree with most of this.

I'd keep KMac if we can given Ellis just left as a runner.

Short...gee I was hoping for more. Needs to compete better. Superior kick to Baker but I know who I'd rather have my back in a trench...

Cleary: Fremantle has interest in Connor Menadue. They like his endurance and speed, that should get done.

Interesting thoughts you would think towner,moore go or on the rookie list there. They have no currency so wouldn't get anything for them.

I think KMAC will stay hed like his chances on the next year I feel be a few pushing for it. Wonder would the tigers think of pushing Baker on the wing with rance coming back ? we even can play stack, graham off it

I prefer Baker back over Short, or forward if there's space. KMac to the wing.

Short to lose his spot to Rance and needs to be defensively coached to replace Houli later.

[Diocletian]

Reckon we should just keep our premiership back six ( maybe replace Shortsteps with Stack ) and play Rance on the wing when he comes back - mainly just to troll the rest of the comp.

Or play him as a key forward haha. Takes a grab and isn't a bad kick these days!
