I remember last year he would find it hard to impact games for 4 qtrs and it seems similar this year. But he needs 2 more games.

I noticed him talking a fair bit with Shane after the game. He should try and learn a bit from him especially Shane's sideways movement and evasiveness. Would add a lot to his game. He has great straight ahead speed but a bit of sideways agility and quicker hands would really see him grow a few levels.

Stating the obvious here but the more he plays the better he will become. Absolute confidence player.
Same here...don't think he'll make an impact with team selections this year...next year maybe...

Was impressed with Connor tonight as he was doing a lot more running and was up with the tempo of the game. Definitely gets another game as his pace was great.

Definitely stays in the team. Reckon if Corey Ellis played like menadue tonight we wouldn’t hear the end of it. His pace is great

looked a lot better than last week and more comfortable - still needs to keep trending upwards though if he wants to keep his spot beyond the next week or two
I like the kid and what he has to offer the team, Not doing enough yet but needs to find his place and confidence at this level
Giving him games is part of his development and happy to do it and watch him get better - Still 12 months away both physically and experience wise but can see signs of something good

Valuable pace on the outside. Did some defensive things that were impressive. Makes good second efforts.
We shouldn’t overlook the value of a combination of height and speed. With him on one wing and KMac on the other, it adds another layer to our intercept marking. Those guys sag off their opponent, guard the dangerous space and then move in quickly for the spoil or mark if the oppo kick isn’t perfect.
I like him in the team. He should stay in until Houli is ready.

You would think those long dashes thru middle of mcg will give him great confidence, I’m sure he can step up from this level to really impact
I see that the guy has class and obviously speed.
He now just needs to be backed so he can develop belief.

Should've played half back given houli is out.

Been a fan of this kid, thought he might come on a bit quicker than he has but not sacking him just yet.
Presently though, if Houli is fit and playing then I think him and K-Mac are playing for the same spot. Even though K-Mac hasn't been great I don't think Connor has announced the spot is his just yet.
Tough team to break into if you're lacking some strings to your bow, but would be rapt if we could hang onto him.

That run through the middle and goal was very reminiscent of Lids. Loved it.
Just like CEllis though he struggles to get involved.

how old is hee, what was Isaac Smith 's development from Ballarat Uni and Ballarat league to VFA for Ballarat or Bendigo to getting rookie'd fot Hawthorn
Im glad im not the only one that thought that about his run.
Good sign from him. Was better than last week.
He's the same age now that Smith was when he got drafted (in the first round, not the rookie draft).
And Smith took a while to become the player he is today....

Was fantastic seeing him back himself in
Plays like that can only build his confidence in his ability to break lines
