Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Inside Footy - from his coach at Western Jets Torin Baker:
"Connor is one of the better running players in the TAC Cup this year and showed at the combine with his testing in speed, repeat speed and endurance. One of the best contributors for the year who loves to take the game on. Is a good height but will need time to develop. Naturally a defenderer but has played other roles and played well whereever he was positioned. Hopefully goes somewhere between picks 22 - 40"

Plays like: Isaac Smith
An explosive yet nimble midfielder, don’t let Connor Menadue’s light frame fool you into thinking he isn’t up to the rigours of AFL football. Averaging 18 disposals for the Western Jets behind the likes of Liam Duggan, Corey Ellis, Dillon Viojo-Rainbow and Jayden Laverde, Menadue’s ability to cut open a game with his speed and penetrating kick makes him an exciting prospect for the Western Bulldogs, such is outside running game. Although on the skinny side, Menadue cracks in hard when it comes to tackling, and has a knack for kicking goals on the run. He gets a big tick for versatility, playing mostly off half back and on a wing, albeit with stints up forward for the Jets. He takes the game on, rating among the best performed for handball receives, whilst his decision making is also rated within the elite bracket. With the ability to use the ball by both hand and foot, Menadue has a certain amount of polish that a player of his ilk needs. He slips through congestion with his breakaway speed and loves to run and carry up a wing, not too dissimilar to Hawthorn’s Isaac Smith. I rate him highly particularly due to his agility, game awareness, and match impact. Named best on ground in the Jets’ elimination loss, Menadue almost willed the Jets over the line off his own boot, accruing 27 disposals at 87 per cent efficiency, including 18 handball receives and two goals.

Looks agile enough. I like his moves. Bit of Dusty and Lids mixed.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
This is the one that excited me - when we got to 33 with him and Blakeley still on the board I was hugging myself and I think on balance he's the right decision - can give us some Matty White-like run.

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue
Liked the look of this kid. Was wondering where he'd land and he's come to us. Reckon he is the perfect 'type' that we we require.
Time tells if he makes it.
