1 year.  If Hardwick can't turn him around, nobody can.

I would have Daniel surviving the initial Cull but he is definitely in the "On notice in 2010 " category

I hope the change of coach can get the best out of him as hes got plenty of potential.Picked up 25 disposals in just his second game against Geelong in 07.

His skill level is above average for a Richmond player.

Has he got an "attitude" problem ?

I'm with you 1 year at most.  After 4 years in the system if you aren't a team regular you probably never will be, after 3 years eh maybe, Kelvin Moore took 4 years to really make the team.  But Connors only got 8 possesions against Melbourne this year which doesn't sound really impressive.  Of course he may not have got much of an opportunity but usually everyone in the 22 gets a fair bit of ground time.

Might survive but I wouldn't lose any sleep if he didn't.  About time these types of players were taught that the RFC meal ticket comes at a price.

Keep for one more year, unless right deal is done.

There are others who have failed before him that need to go 1st. That's his only saviour atm.

My oath he does.  Lives right up to the reason he slid 40 places from where a kid of his talent would normally go from what I've been told.  Hopefully Hardwick is enough of a hard-line man to finally reel him in from his football wonderland and we can see Connors live up to somewhere near his potential.


He's contracted until the end of next year so he stays, but he'd be on notice, big time.

I watched him a couple of times down at Coburg and I got sick of watching him try to spin out of trouble everytime he got the ball. He thinks he is bloody Maurice Rioli. He's not going to make it in the AFL. Stop worrying about him.

Definitely keep
He's exactly the type we need to see how Hardwick can develop
That goes for almost all our kids under 24
