Brother of Daniel Connors at Richmond.

I would love it if we actually took a player someone has heard of occasionally. The fact that no one mentions these players is generally because they aren't good enough.

No Collard, no Gourdis, no KP Defender for us (Unless Eljay is one).

Quite an interesting morning!

Was hoping that we picked up Connors @ 70.

But still I am quite happy.

Yes who the f*** is this Frazier Geriggegh :roll:


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Found a very brief description of Connors on bigfooty in a Bendigo Pioneers thread.
have seen him play a bit....much like his brother, terrific in traffic, makes good decisions and very skillful with his left foot...best suited on a wing and has good pace
Hopefully Eljay has Daniel's ability but not the attitude.

RL - Connors significant injury problems - extremely quick and has very good skills.

McEvoy - Ruckman that can go forward.

Rucks

King
Gardiner
Rix
Van Reehan
McEvoy.

Bit different to Ackland and Blake.

Kosi can kiss ruck goodbye.

Fraze - body in good shape, great desire to play. No guarantees

Can develop and also attempt to have success, not mutually exclusive.

McEvoy - 200cm plus - country lad, mum marathon runner, and he has a big tank, reads the game very well - very good leader. If not a ruckman will make it at CHF. (just my thoughts :wink: :wink: )

Of the 11 picks from pick 64 there were only 5 taken and 2 were rejects getting a second chance which confirms the lack of depth in this draft. Why not take a punt on a promising youngster who could go much higher in next year's draft.

Interesting trivia Saint66au but you are surely not suggesting that Big Footy readers are better informed than the Geelong Falcon's coaching panel?
