Daniel "sidestep" Connors

[folester41]

love this guy, one of my favourite players and oozes x factor.

the question i wanna ask is he a hff with stints in the midfield or if he builds up his fitness a genuine midfielder who rests up fowards and is capable of kicking a bag every now and then?

 

[sante]

In 2009, he will be a HFF. Will probably become a part of our midfield rotation. He is a fair way down the pecking order in our midfield behind Deledio, Foley, Tuck, Johnson, Cotchin, Thomson, White, Jackson, Edwards, Tambling etc.

He is only 20 and didn't have a pre season, I think that is why there is this 'no fitness' label that he has been stamped with has come from, because he has that X Factor, I would say until he has fully matured and grown into his body, plus added the extra fitness base, he will stay as a HFF with stints in the middle, but once he is matured and fully fit he will be a full time midfielder, and hopefully could be as good as an Ablett or Voss.

Been given the nickname Jimmy yet?

Ah keep forgetting these players are younger than I am.

Really looking forward to this bloke. Really hope we have the coaching team to take blokes like him and Cotchin to the level that they should get to.

Hell its going to be a long summer. Our season ended too eary mentally for me. Im already feeling deprived of the Tigers.

I care more about watching Richmond than watching Australia in cricket. does that make me unpatriotic.

good call foles, precisely why I like him, has a heap of class and looks the type like a steve johnson that can step up for a burst in a QTR , go bezerk and really split the game apart...Not sure about a mid, looks more likely HFF or HBF for mine

Not at all IMO. Aussie cricket has become increasingly boring over the last 2 years. There is absolutely no personality, character or excitement in the Aus Cricket team IMO, rather it is full of walking, media trained robots.

Bring back Boonie, Merve, Warnie....

Hell even Steve Waugh had more personality than the current crop.

I've given him the nickname D-Con (Pronounced Deacon).

 

[The Cotch]

COULD be the best of our young-uns IF he puts his mind to it.

I have no doubt he will.

D-CON = GUN

 

[one eyedtiger]

He will be an absolute star. Like has been said above he has that X factor and has the potential to turn into the Stevie J type.

dont get to carried away guys. if he was half as good as bf members say he is he would have played 22 games this year if he steps up and all your young guys step up we will be pushing for top 4 next year

It would be unpatriotic if AFL wasn't your #1 sport

I've given him the nickname D-Con (Pronounced Deacon).

I think they call him Condog on facebook.

Or if he didnt spend most of the pre season in a moon boot then have various nigling injuries all year.


Even fully fit i dont think he would of played all 22 games, but i think he would of played 12 atleast. Most likely more than Edwards.

 

[Ando_4]

Potential gun.

Put him to work in the off season.

C'mon Dan.

[tigersfan11]

Haven't seen too much of him but the games I've seen at Coburg he does have something about him which you would love to see come out in the A.F.L, takes the game on and runs hard.

I like him!
