dont know if this is from this year or not, he got a lot of muscle to put on
he has a frame though... wont take him long
He's quick, fast and has got pace.
I don't think we expected Menadue to be anywhere near still on the board. Haven't even prepared a highlights video

We can just sing "Xanadu" and change the title to his name.

This kid can run. Give him some time to develop and I think he'll be good.
Kevin Sheehan said on fox that he expects this kid to be a star AFL player.

Look at that run and carry.
The highlights of the last game against the Stingrays was in the TAC cup finals where the jets lost only just. Menadue was BOG, doing that in his
teams most important game of the year is a great attribute.

I keep saying it but in 04 he said Tambling was a mix of Aka and Judd..
However I like this pick. Good frame and will build muscle. He is lightening quick and kicks it a mile.
Reminds me of a rich mans Sam Blease.
Also reminds me of road runner!

I like this pick the most. We probably won't see him until 2017 in the 1's though. Seriously has to put 20kg. That'll take 5+years.
Fantastic Selection, really love this pick
Connor is 188.6 but will get to 190 easily as he is a september birthdate and atleast another year to grow
Love his speed and Game , Loves to take the game on and break the lines - Somebody mentioned that he's a Isaac Smith Clone well they have so much in common its not funny - Even the same height
Grigg's replacement has arrived gents

Free-running AFL draft prospect Connor Menadue certain to be snapped up after starring for Western Jets in the TAC Cup
"GIVE Connor Menadue a free run at your peril.
The 18-year-old from the Western Jets split opposition teams apart with his speed this season, engineering countless forays forward from the half-back line and midfield.
Menadue mixed pace with impressive contested ball and tackle numbers and was one of six Jets named in the Vic Metro squad for the AFL Under-18 National Championships.
He also performed well at the national combine, logging the fifth fastest time in the 20m sprint – 2.88 secs – and clocking 10 mins 7 secs in the 3km time trial.
Labelled a “terrific speed endurance athlete” by Jets talent manager Shane Sexton, Menadue appears all-but certain to find an AFL home on draft night."

"Menadue, a Western Bulldogs supporter, said Robert Murphy, Bradley Hill, Lewis Jetta and Nathan Fyfe were among his favourite AFL players."

I think Gordon has already done this.

Those pics earlier are pretty much spot on. He really does have a light frame so dont expect him to impact early on. Comparisons to Bob Murphy are prob close to the mark

He talks up everyone though.

Got a bit worried watching the tape because until the last bit he never bounced the ball, ran 15, well clear, space ahead and he just kicked it....Thankfully towards the end he bounced a few, but I think it'd be good to make him more comfortable doing that.
