Daniel Connors [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

Remember his first game for us against Geelong at Kardinia Park in 2007 looked  good playing off half back that day. Was the day Angus Graham debuted also.

I think he has been serviceable so far this season bar a few notable skill errors by foot.
At Punt Rd he aint alone there.

Yeah I like what I have seen out of him this year too. I mean really this has been the first real full pre-season so to speak that he has put in for many years due to injury.

At 21 years of age I still believe this kid has a lot to offer our club for the future, certainly more than some others have to offer hanging on our list.

your joking you like hacks
he should be grounded for turning the ball over & kicking to ghosts
if a player like him cant play football after several seasons he needs delisting & l bet his on top of hardwick list to be cut

If he is on Hardwicks list to be cut then why has Hardwick played him all pre-season bar one game I think and round one????

Please, if you think Connors is a hack your list of hacks in our team must be very very very long.

l have watched Conners closely for several years now & he is a selfish one man team. Enough said

my list is very long half the team would be cut

[tigersalive]

Whilst I agree with TM about his selfishness at least it's clear from the article he knows he stuffed up defensively on Thursday night more than once and has been let know about it.  Keep him in the 22 because he's the type of player that will learn better in the big time, not in the community league.

You know most of them players need to poise a bit instead of being scared rabbits
go back to their natrual talent & they would benefit alot more from it
A bit of leadership & some scaning before release of the ball would bring them together as a squad & build confidence

[LondonTiger]

I was a bit shocked to see an article about Connors.  Yes he got a fair bit of the footy, but made basic defensive errors against Carlton and looked lazy running to contest at times, yet seems to have the RFC marketing guys talking him up in his defensive role. 

I think he has a fair amount of skill and talent, but he has been in the system long enough (and yet to prove anything) to know that poor attitude and poor decision making, should earn a long run in the magoos.    We have depth in that area, so am surprised he wasn't made an example of. (I assume he is playing this week, or why write the article)

Guess he has a few weeks to prove to Dimma and co (and us supporters) that he should not be on the chop block at years end.  I will be watching his future games very closely to see if he actually listens to Leppa.

Wonder if any of the poor performances will be made examples of?

[eliminator]

This is his year to prove himself. He is at the crossroads. He prefers playing in the backline. Play him there until end of year if he does not improve delist him. Leppa had a go at him at the Carlon game for letting Betts kick an easy goal. He is a good mark but kicking needs improve but having said that when he was kicking out from goal he kicked the ball past the 50 metre arc which alot of our defenders either can't do or a too scared to do so.

[Mr Magic]

Articles like this are premature especially as DC seems to be the type who could get ahead of himself easily.

I thought Connors was one of our best on Thursday night but he still made a few blunders defensively.

Talented HB flankers are a dime a dozen and Dan still a shedload to prove before he can be called a decent AFL footballer let alone a good one. He should be aspiring to become an onballer if he wants to extend his AFL career but he has to master the HB role first and he's a long way from doing that yet.

Very true.

And by the same token it would also help these players coming out of defence if their teammates worked a bit harder to find space for them to kick to.

[wayne]

He did make a few errors, but who would you prefer, Connors or McMahon?

I'll back Connors to improve with some new coaches to help him out.

[WA Tiger]

I think at this point in time if there was an article come out on every player no one would have agood word to say about them would they!! Someone would still have to have a dig, sure he turned the ball over a litle bit but like I said he is 21 and it's his real full pre-season for many years.

Edwards doesn't even cop as much as Connors and he ....... well!!

so Cono is alright ?
