With Lids out for this weeks match I havent seen one person, besides myself, think that Conners should be brought into the team. Had the ball a lot for Coburg, did some nice things. Reminded me of Raines '06 a little bit with his run and carry. I'd say this would be a perfect opportunity for him to come and and we can see how he goes.

Moore - WTF? This bloke barely had it for Coburg. I thought we were rewarding players.

Thoughts?
 
Conners in for Raines.... If he's suspended at VFL level, does that cost his chances to play AFL level?

I read somewhere that he was told, for disipline reasons, he isn't going to play senior footy this year. If Williams plays next week, surely Raines will get the job on him.

White needs to be dropped
 
The attitude has to go. Saturday's game was the first time I've seen him but its as plain as hell he is a smart arse. Hope it doesnt get in the way of his obvious talents, looks great when he is playing footy.
 
Won't play seniors this year because it will take at least that long for him to pull his head in and realise what he has to do to make it in this league.
 
My god the kid can play, clean hands, great kick, just needs a kick up the arse and realise what a opportunity he has that not many people do get

Totally agree his skills are great, sets up play beautyfully. Doesnt waste his possesions. Reminds me so much of Dal Santo. This kid will be the steal of the draft if he gets his attitude right.
Does anyone know exactly what is the deal with his attitude??
 
i was born and raised in bendigo (now a melbournite) and every footy player back home had the same attitude - get pissed and fight. the selwood brothers were campaigner*, and i'm sure connors, like the rest of the footballers in bendigo, think's hes already top shit. its a bendigo thing. and you can take the boy out of bendigo, but not the bendigo out of the boy.

Just out of interest was Joel as big a 'carnt' as his two brothers
 
i can't speak for joel, unfortunately. i went to high school with adam and troy, and i know at least one of them was an arse, i can't remember which because they're identical. homophobic, arrogant etc..

Im no Melbourne expert at all, hence Location: Northern Tasmania, however arent Bendigo and Echuca pretty much the one suburb really? They're side by side and share alot of amenities?

ah, no. they're not even suburbs, they're country towns a couple of hours away from each other, and from melbourne (3-4 in echuca's case).

:)Wherever he's from...he's a silly boy.

IMO would have played this week. Looked mighty poised and prolific last week for the Burgers!!

Cost himself. Can only hope he doesn't continue to do so!

One of the few Tigers listed players to show something of substance.

The likes of Neville, Silvester, Shelton, Ronaldson and Farrelly carry that side!

connors? really? then who's the kid we drafted from bendigo? or did he just play for bendigo? either way, i bet you dollars for donuts the same cultural problem exists all over regional victoria. asshat.

Played my fair share of country football, both here in Victoria and across the border in SA. Anyone who thinks footy clubs - and indeed leagues - are not basically the same across the board is delusional.
Every club I played for had his fair share of loose cannons - some who come good and mature, some who will continue to f*** up. They also have their share of ripper blokes you gravitate towards and would take a bullet for, a sprinkling of quieter types you don't have much in common with yet respect for who and what they are and even some you wish would plain go away (hey, that was probably me!!!) Just as you will have those with exceptional ability and those who can't kick over a jam tin (me again!!!)
You might hate that opposition club down the highway, in the next town or suburb, but spending time there you would find that club no different to the one from whence you came.
If a cultural problem exists in Bendigo, Echuca or wherever the f*** Connors is form, you can be guaranteed that problem is prevalent in Lakes Entrance, Shepparton, Wangaratta, Hamilton or Ballarat (no disrespect intended to those places!!!)
Think you would also find the problem of which we are speaking would not be isolated to football either!!!
 
yeah, it's actually more than likely just a problem with some footballers in general. most are complete f*ckwits. there are exceptions, i used to live with an excpetional young footballer. unfortunately his prospects were shattered by consecutive knee reconstructions in his mid-late teens. but, yeah, love the game hate the people (in the majority.)

And one was quite proud about what he said he did to Des Headland's 6 year old daughter.
