Menadue played 39 AFL games for Richmond before being delisted at the end of 2019, and joins the club from Werribee.

A wingman/midfielder with pace and a booming kick, Menadue was a key part of Richmond's 2019 VFL premiership.

“We have been in regular contact with Connor throughout 2020 in a view to listing him at some stage,” National Recruiting Manager, Mark Finnigan said.

“He was the fifth piece of our plan to bring in AFL experience on the back of bringing in Corr, Stephenson, Young and Atu.

“His run and carry was really appealing to us, as was his positional versatility.

“Given how much youth has come into the club, Connor will bring along some great experience to our group.”

This is a tad perplexing!

It feels like we've drafted Sam Power

[SpiderBurton22]

WTF is this s**t.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Comes with AFL experience into a list that lost lots of it. I don't suggest he'll play much senior footy for us, but he would be handy backup

Wouldn't think we'd whinge about this one

 

[billnats]

 

[trooroo4life]

Decent pickup for the VFL Roos. Had a good 2019 VFL finals series with the tigers from memory.

 

[Pykie]

Bit of a strange one, you would have thought if we were keen we would have taken him last year.

Still, was one of the best players in the VFL in 2019 and has genuine leg speed. He ran a 2.88 sec 20m in his draft year in 2014.


Last spot on the list, to strengthen the VFL side with a hail mary isn't the worst.

 

[king rising]

Perplexing .

Give me time, I’m a good whinger.

 

[Event Horizon]

If we didn't have Tyson and to a lesser extent Hall, I'd find this selection a bit more logical.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Noble said he wanted speed, he'll get it with Menadue.

Played 39 odd games so I would've thought he was a known capacity, but we must see a bit of upside in him.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Wouldn't think we'd whinge about this one

Are you new to this board m8?

 

[Flawed Genius]

Are you new to this board m8?

Disgrace, etc

 

[Heaps of fun]

Hope he has developed his contested game in the VFL.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Everyone thought we were going to need to fill up with discards after delisting 12 players this year. We took one rookie and he's a guy that has shown a lot of talent in the AFL without developing the necessary all-round game. Not bad, not good but North Melbourne lives to fight on another year.

Or David Bourke!!

PS. I thought David Bourke was a good footballer, just unfairly compared to his father and injury prone (IIRC).

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Brad and his side kick back in charge?

Wanted him in 2014 but that was a long time ago. Would rather we kept Ed from the same draft.

 

[Harris 10]

Noble wasn't joking when he said we needed to add pace.

 

[Event Horizon]

Still, was one of the best players in the VFL in 2019 and has genuine leg speed. He ran a 2.88 sec 20m in his draft year in 2014.

What was he doing last season? Did he play any footy at any level?

 

[Event Horizon]

Is he an upgrade on Hartung at least?

 

[Harris 10]

At least we can say we have a grand final winner:

Menadue wins Grand Final sprint

Connor Menadue takes out the traditional half time sprint.

Absolutely, not every player gets to play seniors and the goal is to raise the standard on all levels.
good get.

 

[Passmore]

LOL. I thought this bloke was a complete spud at Richmond.

Anyway...Clayton and co.know far more than any of us here...so good luck Connor.
