its connors time

[Jim Jess's Jockstrap]

nuff said bring on the steal of the draft and lets see what the kid can do against the dees

 

[lids2004roar]

Injured his ankle in the 2nd quarter but played on restricted, we could let him build up fitness and debut him when he is fresh (no hampering niggles).

He was awesome today it's players like Connors who give me lots of hope for the future

 

[beaver fever]

apparently had a good game today, but I wouldn't be in any rush to bring him into the senior side. Plenty of time to develop at Coburg.

on hydes performance , I think it underlined we need to give some of these young fellas a taste. Hydey has nothing left, it was some of his pitiful efforts when the heat was on that cost us. It's only when we can rise above that crap we will WIN

I saw Hyde play in the Coburg vs Bendigo game and he was woeful. I couldn't understand why he was picked for the senior side. The boot studder would have been a better choice

Round 15 at the earliest. Great Prospect though, needs to get more kms in the legs.

 

[NavyBlues]

haha and i reckon he had millers measure in that scuffle in the last quater

 

[kainokaino]

krakouer will be brought in this week had 25+ possies in the ressies

schulz got destroyed by miller (schulz played backline),

schulz got a couple of late easy goals but should definetly not play this week

riewoldt was quiet

brown was good at stages

this week i reckon simmo and krak will be in

 

[RichosGuns]

I hope Peterson gets into the Coburg seniors soon.

I would like to see Peterson & Conners get some AFL time this year, just 2 or 3 games each toward the end of the year. Collins, can wait until next year.

Changes for this week (fortnight):

IN: Brown, Simmonds, Krakouer

Out: Kingsley, White, Polo

However I would like to see all of these 6 players play for Coburg next week aswell as Schultz, JON, Meyer, etc. As if a Schultz performs really well he may also get a call up

Newsflash - There's no game this week

no need to act like a hero mate,

simple typo i meant this ROUND

 

[Infamy]

I can see how that would be a typo, the letters are right next to each other

Next weeks Coburg match against Frankston will be a better guide to the "Ins" for the Melbourne match.

Frankston are a non-aligned team so the 12/10 rule will be in force. That means a maximum of 12 Richmond players.

Schulz, JON, Hartigan, Connors, Moore, McGuane, Reiwoldt, Meyer is 8.

Brown, Krakouer and rumoured to be Simmonds back from injury = 11.

Only leaves one spot up for grabs. Graham might be dropped for Simmonds. Perhaps Petterson gets the 12th spot - although Clingan probably deserves it.

They won't be able to drop anyone back from the Richmond side to Coburg as I understand the rules.

Maybe that's the real reason behind Hughes not making the initial 22.

 

[Richo for PM]

i doubt we will se connors this year for discipline reasons

 

[davey_23]

He isnt ready yet. His fitness is terrible and he can hardly run from the bench to the HB line without stopping. He played HB/BP most of the time when he wasnt on the bench on Monday and spent some time on Lynden Dunn.

 

[LVAK]

He looks classy but he wasn't 'awesome' and didn't play well enough against Sandy to be promoted
Plenty of time there

Did he do something like a Steve Johnson? Seems unusual for a young player to not be selected at this point of a season for 'discipline' if it impinges on his development. Although personally i am not familiar with Connors as a player. What did he do to require discipline?
