Connors is due!!

[meownotroar]

Keep telling yourself that.

I am a Richmond supporter and you just happen to support the same club Connors went for, well you are either one of his mates or Connors himself, so I can tell you one thing is that I know alot more than anyone on this board about Daniel Connors, and I dont think he would want it to get out!

I know too- so we drafted a gutless jellyback

But we also know he can play which is why so many Phantom Drafts had him top 15 but on draft day the recruiters knew what he had been partly involved with, allegedly. If he was involved in the worst of it, which he wasnt, I think he wouldnt have been drafted at all.

I think it's a very smart pick in the 50s though. Absolutely no harm in giving him a crack at that pick, he is great value.

PR, what is it that he was allegedly involved in?

 

[Richo for PM]

It ain't alleged, he has done 5-6 things since joining Richmond(I am not lying, TRUST ME!) and before joining the Tiges he liked to get on the piss alot, getting him into a bit of trouble.

yeh ive heard the same thing. ive also heard that the club suspended him earlier on in the season to try get him into line a little bit.
and as for his fitness someone said it earlier he hasnt put in the extra work the other first year draft picks have.

Alex Gilmour anyone?

Just what we need...

ThaTS a load of shi.t.. you would have no grounds to base that shocking comment on...you have made that up to sound cool..loser.. connors will play in 2weeks.. HBk619 make me sick

put it this way mate, when all the draftees came to punt road for the first month or so, edwards and collins would run laps and work on there fitness while conners stood there with water jogging every half hr or so. So it is no suprise edwards is play senior footy while conners is struggling with fitness

At least Connors wasnt taken with our first pick.


Connors loves to hit the piss, or did like to, and hard, and it got him into trouble as it tends to.

It was a massive rumour, that he allegedly hit it hard around draft camp time with a couple of other boys, and they could tell, and that's why he slipped so far.
Why would you pick a player that wont even take draft camps seriously??

Remember Polo was dropped earlier in the year? There was strong word Connors and him were on the piss together before training. Who knows if that was true.

He's a typical 18 year-old though, Goes and gets smashed and cant remember the shit he's done. Welcome to my world.

It'll be interesting to see if we can turn him around because he has the makings of a great player.

Dont disagree with you mate, but reading between the lines from a couple of posters on here... he sounds like a fair w anka.

I hit the piss hard too and give it a nudge on nights before a big day at work too, so not really that uncommon. But the difference is, l'm not doing time trials at work where a slip in performance a night of booze and partying is so noticeable.

He must be fcuking stupid to be caught out 4-5 times already.

ps. going to the Walthomstow dogs tonight and gonna destroy myself... good chance l'll sleep under the desk tomorrow.

Different situation. Hopefully different result.

 

[cairo tiger]

lets get his head right and then his body will follow

 

[Ando_4]

He's a kid and he can play. That's what I'm interested in.

What exactly happened with Gilmour?

Was a reasonably high draft pick, but delivered absolutely nothing

Was he just lazy...or were there other off-field incidents?

HE can play so thats the reason to why he is not in our side.

I'm under the impression he would have had a better chance of succeeding at the Eagles.

Ditto Marty McGrath.

As a good friend of Daniel's little brother Elljay i wouldnt be too worried about his attitude and stuff like that. Being from Echuca there isnt much more to do up there than get pissed and **** around. He is slowly adjusting to the life as an AFL footballer and his fitness is getting better. I think he will get a game in the next 4 to 5 weeks.
