Daniel Connors [merged]

[tigtuff12]

...wouldn't say Nahas is a "coward" - bit harsh imo....light frame and mistakes don't make you a coward, they make you skinny and silly...but i digress...

Connors was solid today & IF he can keep that up he could be a very valuable member of the squad (and somewhat of an x-factor for us given he can swing down back)...but the question's never been about ability it's about application, commitment and desire to play at this level...hopefully the penny's dropped - the rest of the team seemed to "get around him" when he kicked his last which indicates they rate him a bit too...

[WA Tiger]

He's in the Schultz category.

Has got the ability but how long do we hold on to him for to do it consistently. All very good and happy for Daniel he came in and performed. But can he do it consistently for the rest of the year? If he can then he gets another contract. If he can't then he's in trouble.

Schulzy actually strung a few good games together when he was here. Now he rapes full backs every week. Connors is not in the same category. He is in the "what the stuff is this bloke still doing here" category.

Ok CD, like you to death but......MOVE ON........Schulz isn't coming back...FFS

[Gigantor]

Dan if he is to make it at AFL level is a forward.I hope the club never ever entertains the thought of playing him across half back again.Down back he was diabolical with his grubbed kicks and and flying for marks he had no chance of getting ..At least up forward this sort of stuff might just conjure a goal.

yes i agree but how can you have a forward line that consists of King, Nahas, Connors and Edwards.

Thats the problem.

Cant play all of them in the same team. Nahas doesnt do enough IMO

[Gigantor]

connors does play tall though ,so he has that string in his bow too.

King might be in trouble

[WilliamPowell]

Thought he was OK

But some of the bad habits reared up - that baulk in the 3rd when he tried to kick a goal from outside 50 when he had 2 blokes in better position one who had space on their opponent was a shocker & that sort of selfish act that has had me doing this  over time

Still question marks over his fitness too, the first efforts were there eg his defensive running but still either very few or nil 2nd or 3rd efforts. Still think has to have something to do with fitness

Take that society! 

[Judge Roughneck]

Connors and Edwards were our most dangerous forwards today. Connors worked hard today and knows how to lose his opponent. He also gets into dangerous positions. He has some tricks and can take a grab. If he can keep himself on the paddock we may have found that missing x-factor in the forward line and we can finally say goodbye to that coward Nahas.

Nahas isnt a coward thats a poor call

yes he is and he just makes so many mistakes. he is too light too soft, cant have him and king in the team together

The issue, long term is there are only 17 spots in the side for mid/small size players. Maybe 15 in you play a 3rd tall at each end.

Tuck
Newman
Foley
Jackson
Deledio
Grigg
Houli
Morris
Connors
Edwards
Cotchin
Martin
Batchelor
Dea
Conca
Ellis

How do you squeeze both the Nahas and King in the side? I see only one spot. Many none if a Aarnot or Helbig find form.
