Jack are you unhappy with Connors game?

The guy has improved out of sight in attitude and confidence.

You defend Simmo for having a crack for being a slow flop of a man. Yet you argue negatively towards the positives of Connors.

I'll fly to the moon with feathers if anyone thinks Simmonds game was better than Connors today.

Sure he made a few mistakes but ge name me 1 player that didn't turn the ball over today in the yellow and black.

Put his body on the line, took them on, kicking was ok apart from one clanger that resulted in a dogs goal.

Hats off for Connors for mine.

Thought Connors was servicable without being great.
Has errors in his game, thus wouldnt be playing him deep in D50.
His kicking lets him down,therefore any mistake usually results in a scoring shot for the opposition.
No having a tackle for the game is a worry though.
Would also think he Zones Off too often therefore his stats tell lies with easy possesions coming his way.
I would play him up forward, thats my opinion
By the way , he had 2 clangers which resulted in goals, and another goal resulted by him taking the opposition on and getting caught costing another goal.

IMO you can leave Jack out of that statement, He run his guts out all game.  In another post someone staed they saw him depp inb the defensive 50 (last qtr from memory). I watched him chasing the ball all the way down the ground, effected a spoil which resulted in a turnover then ran his ass off to our fwd line to try and make the contest there. He did that all game, one of the first fwds in chasing the ball and then also on of the first back when there was a turnover.  If thats not having a dig then i dont know what will make some of you happy!

Lids on the other hand seemed to be floundering most of the game. does anyone know if he isnt 100% either with injury or illness or is he just not interested at the moment?

Lids; I think he is just getting the attention from the opposition that our only real player deserves.  He seems to me to be doing a lot more of the hard work while coping with a tag.  If Cotch and Martin keep going on the way that they are Lids will start getting more freedom.

When we had richo and brown Lids had all the freedom he wanted .. but did NOTHING.. Lids knows we will do any thing too keep him (increase money ect.) SO therefore he is not worried about his preforming as much as lets say Connors or even King . King showed more GO than Lids did he just didnt have the skill . Which is a shame and sad to see

It sounds like you know Lids personally and are in his confidence for him to share those thoughts with you.  As such I am at an unfair advantage and can't comment any further.

Ch 9 brings up Connors' alleged Echuca bashing incident from 4 years ago

Lead story tonight on Nine news.

Alleged Connors in a group of men bashed a guy outside a bakery in Echuca in 2006. Insufficient evidence meant there were no charges.

Nine interviewed the guy Chris Oman who was bashed and left with brain damage. Said he's been left with no job while Dan got an AFL career straight after.

Notice it was on Channel Ed too? It was obviously done to deflect the blowtorch from Collingwood, and their ongoing Malthouse saga. Channel 7's lead story was about some boat sinking.
