Daniel Connors [merged]

[{X}]

Connors had 25 and nearly every one of them was great - had his own highlights package 

agree but if he gets nominated there is no point

lets wait til next yr so he can win it!

selwood has it all stitched up this yr and deledio is only 1/100th of a player that selwood is

selwood has dominated in the midfield from day one, deledio was all show no go and too pretected

i wanna see connors in the middle, he is tuff and isnt a wimp like the rest of us(excluding foley and king )

what a joke, the only 3 players we have with balls are foley king and connors!

rfc = joke

not too hard to look good when you are your sides 4th midfielder (ie not even tagged) in a team that has won 13 straight.

Lids took a step in the right direction in terms of shaking a tag yesterday IMO. Will become a good player, and once we get a good side on the field Lids > Selwood

Oh and also, Connors can get nominated and still win it next year.

As long as you are young enough and have played less than 10 games you are still eligible. Jones from Melbourne has been nominated 2 years running

Young Tiger hoping to scale the heights

DANIEL Connors’ eye-catching performance off a half-back stuff was a bright light on another tough day for the Tigers at Skilled Stadium on Saturday.

The 18-year-old showed poise under huge pressure, with most of his 25 touches finding their mark in just his second game.

“I was trying to run hard and get a few kicks off the back line – it’s coming along all right,” Connors told richmondfc.com.au after the 70-point defeat to the Cats.

“[Coach] Terry [Wallace] wanted me to beat my man first and then run as hard as I could the other way.

“I know where my fitness has got to be at now. I’ve got to increase my fitness base and keep improving my disposal and hopefully we can all put together some good games on the way home.”

Connors, who won warm praise from Wallace after the match, hopes to become a full-time midfielder at some point, but is happy to learn his craft in the backline before being thrust into the engine room.

The Echuca lad admits he’s living his dream, having broken into the senior side, and he looked like he was home in the backyard when he took a huge mark over Travis Varcoe.

“It’s always good to take a speccy and that felt like a good one,” he said with a smile. “I’ll have to look at the tape but apparently it was all right.

“I love taking a hanger, I’ve pulled in a couple in the VFL and I’ll try and bring that into my game at AFL level. It’s a great part of the game.”

A perfect example of why you sir, are an imbecile!

Looks like Connors is not eligible this year, as pointed out by a poster on y&b.

Found this at: http://www.afl.com.au/Season2007/NABAFLRisingStarsProgram/NABAFLRisingStar/tabid/784/Default.aspx


After each round of home and away games, a player is nominated and at the end of the season a panel of experts selects the winner. The winner must be under the age of 21 at January 1 of that year, must not have played more than 10 games to the start of that season and must not have been suspended by the AFL or State League tribunals during the season (as with the Brownlow Medal, players found guilty of certain offences and fined or reprimanded by the Tribunal remain eligible to win the award).

Does that mean that they wont bother giving him a round nomination seeming he is ineligible to win it?
