Daniel Connors [merged]

[1965]

Do you think another Club will take a chance with him? Wallace has stated that he was warned re behaviour 8 times in his first 3 years..........FU Wallace!!!! Why didn't we get rid of him then!

Sounds like a perfect fit for Hawthorn.

Can we trade him or is he now a free agent?

Can someone call Dan Connors and tell him to pick up Jokestar on the way to his cave?
k. Thanks.

SANFL club North Adelaide keen on sacked Richmond player Daniel Connors

SACKED Richmond footballer Daniel Connors would be welcomed with open arms by SANFL club North Adelaide if he decides to join his brother Eljay at the club.

The Roosters have forged close links with the troubled forward, who was dumped by the Tigers after missing a training session this week.

As well as Connors' brother being at the club, North Adelaide's chief executive Greg Edwards is the father of Richmond midfielder Shane who is Connors' housemate.

The pair was drafted together in 2006, shared a host family and have mostly lived together since.

Edwards Snr yesterday described Connors as "a ripper lad" and said the club would be keen to discuss reigniting his career.

Connors cannot play in the SANFL this season because the June 30 deadline for interstate transfers has passed.

"We haven't talked about him yet, obviously," Edwards said. "But he'd make a bloody good recruit.

"I know him really well and his father, Mark, and his brother Eljay is here.

"So once he works out what he wants to do next year, we would be in line for his services."

Edwards said he would discuss Connors with coach Josh Francou before making any approach to him or his management.

Tigers settle with sacked Daniel Connors

DUMPED Tiger Daniel Connors will decide within a fortnight whether he will play football again after reaching a financial settlement with Richmond.

Sacked for sleeping in and missing a training session this month after being on his last chance at Punt Rd, Connors has been weighing his future.

His manager, Anthony McConville, from Mac's Sports, said yesterday the talented but erratic player was edging closer to a decision on whether he would pursue football at state league or local levels.

"Daniel is very remorseful for the situation that has occurred, but he needs to work out whether he wants to fight on and play again," McConville said.

"No decision has been made yet as to his future.

"At this stage he is collecting himself from the fallout.

"I suppose in the next few weeks we will be better advised about whether he has the commitment to take his football to the highest level he can."

McConville said there had been "lots of interest" from various state leagues and local clubs - including several teams in the VFL.

He said Connors' contractual arrangements with Richmond had been satisfactorily settled.

"Everything that has been required from the AFL and Richmond has been completed," he said.

"The umbilical cord has been cut 100 per cent."

Connors would need special permission to sign on for a club at almost any level if he was to choose to play elsewhere this season.

The cut-off point for transfers was June 30, a week before he and teammate Dustin Martin slept through an alarm after taking sleeping tablets the previous evening.

"We would need special consideration, so that would be up to the AFL to decide, but you would like to think that (they would allow it)," McConville said.

"Hopefully if that was the way Dan wanted to go about things, it will be a quick and clean arrangement."

Connors, 23, played 29 games and kicked 11 goals in a controversial six seasons at Punt Rd, fractured by a number of off-field incidents.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Maybe people like Anthony McConville should manage there players instead of collecting a management fee

A generalisation Jack but one I have to say I agree with

Too many player managers seem to only be interested in their take and nothing else

Would have thought that player management invloves alot more than organising a contract

[Penelope]

yep, perhaps they need to move in with them so they can look after them 24/7. use some of their fees to pay someone to wipe their butts while they are at it?

[dwaino]

Best of luck to Danielle.

Things I am talking about al, are financial advice, tax advice and things like that.

I remember a couple of years back at a players sponsors dinner I was asked by the players on the table what I did for a living and when I told them they said can you give us some tax tips. I said isn't that what you have managers and their staff for? And I was told nope we don't get. Have to say I was staggered and yes I was nice gave them a few tax deduction tips

Sounds like a new career awaits you in player management.

 

[Penelope]
