I think Dan has got some talent.
Would be delisted this year if we were a top 8 side.
Will probably be safe for 1 more year as there are 8 to go before him.
Been extremely lucky to still be on an AFL list.
I don't like guys that ride the "potential" wave for long periods of time.
Wouldn't be bothered if we got rid of him, if we do he has 12 months to save his career.
theres a shedload that has to go connors is one. personally if there is a younger player in the group of has to goes hes stays before connors. 5 stuffing yrs of exactly what has connors given us. 5 stuffing yrs we really have to stop this rot of hanging onto underperformers for inordinate amounts of time.keep a kid at least the kid may have some genuine upside.
i have to ask since his drafting in 06 just where has he improved.
people say shane tuck has to go but connors is worse than tuck in the very areas tuck is criticised in.
nope time enough for a bloke whos been arouind 5 yrs and hes still unfit, slow as, no motor, not a defensive bone in his body, and he bloody well butchers it in far worse ways than blokes like tuck ever have.
i know lets give him another 5 yrs he may just turn things around by then.
a part of the rfc actually growing and becoming professional will be when it can identify and move on non performers like connors far quicker than we have.
yes connors has talent i for one liked him a lot as a kid and thought him a good get in the nd in the 60s. but we have to change this attitude of oh golly gosh im scared if we get rid of him he will come good.
we need to get to a point where we actually trust our processes and a part iof those processes should be the ability to say yep hes had enough time lets move on.
