Past #31: Connor Menadue - delisted end '21 - 7 NM games - 46 AFL games - thanks Connor

[Val Keating]

I know he hasn‘t played for a while, but fumbled, turned it over and certainly did not look quick. Don’t see the what he brings tbh.

This is how I saw it too

 

[The Nostradamus]

I mean he looked similar to atley

Atley with his experience should be doing better

 

[King Corey]

Have always had an eye on him because he was one of the quicks I wanted us to go for in the 2014 draft.

Was pleasantly surprised to see him on the park yesterday having not followed any media on the day. Thought he was reasonable.

Positioned well and tried to atone after errors. As others have mentioned it's worth remembering he hasn't played at any level since 2019.

If and when he can get back into the swing of it he can unleash his elite pace. Unlike years of bringing in various stodgy clones at least here we've plumped for a guy out a successful ( ) system who has attributes we sorely need.

Connor keen to take chance

To get another crack and get that first game in round one was a massive achievement for myself.

Menadue was delisted at the end of the 2019 season

But in a whirlwind three months, he was selected by the Roos at the Rookie Draft

Woud've been a long 3 months from October 2019 to December 2020 for Connor.

Probably felt like it went for 14 months.

Three months between being drafted by us and making his debut. I imagine the 11 months working at Rebel was not that much of a whirlwind.

Welcome to retail.

Certainly the fumble was noteworthy, don’t often see players just throw the ball away when running by
themselves....

play of the week must go to Tyson , much as Mahoneys multiple stuff ups were tragically entertaining, Dom on the boundary line , with a grotesque look of terror in his eyes, attempts to punch the ball away, and did that badly

Are you not entertained! as the fat kiwi would say

 

[Snake_Baker]

He was okay. Keep cracking in and build from there Connor.

 

[Snake_Baker]

If they drop him this week, then we know they're pulling names out of a hat.

 

[Luke72]

I thought he had a pretty good game. He uses the ball well.

 

[susurrar]

he took a really great mark that surprised me. apart from that he was fine again, completely unremarkable.

 

[gokangas]

Serviceable game - should hold his spot.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Credit to him, a really solid game. That mark was well outside his job description too.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Serviceable.

would like to see him actually use his speed More often

Looks a different player at AFL level compared to what he’s shown at VFL level.

Give him a run of games so he gets more comfortable and see what he's got. We've absolutely nothing to lose.

He's certainly better suited to this game plan at the moment than a few others.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Should keep his spot over kids until at least we get some cavalry back. Ultimately I think we have better options when everyone is fit.

 

[northbergs]

Deserves another shot at it - with more games and confidence we’d hope to benefit from his line breaking run.

Plays next week, with Thomas, Bonar and Stephenson, Menadue brought a lot of intent, and did a lot of really good things. Looked more confident and willing to take the game on.

 

[The acurate one]

Serviceable.

I think the same could be said for all of our players with pace, none are running and providing overlap.

What I’d give to have a Lachie Ash type in our side

I thought this guy was very good in key parts yesterday - some good poise and skill shown
