Hello fellow Dters, just wondering, what are your thoughts on Daniel Connors, he averaged 92.4 in 2010, and is very cheap this year. Good pick?

I think to much of a risk. There are better options. You should make a poll.

Yeah, too risky for me as well, better options around his price.

who are better options

Well. Ziebell, Wellingham. Jack, Gaff, Scully, Savage, Douglas, Hannebery, Vince, Rich and Mzungu. If he was a Defender i'd think about it but as a Midfielder not likely.

he has no job security. On the outer. probably last in line to get a game now

connors is listed as a defender

named round 1 I think he would have to be a contender. Was injured this season from memory, so...

Love the kid. Especially seeing as I jumped on board in 2010.
Unlikely for me. He shares the byes with Goddard, Scotland, Lids and 20 of the top 30 most expensive defenders. This rules him out. Unless he explodes preseason...

Was thinking he was someone else :-[ :P. Still don't think he is a chance but as he is a Defender it makes him some chance to go into someone who want';s to take a risk.

Yeah he got injured but he has bad offield behaviour and isn't lets just say "liked" at richmond. The club reports he requested a trade during trade week but it is more like they were trying to offload him. Also he is more of a fantasy only player. While he racks up dt points he isnt as good as the points suggest. Can't belive that people started him over deledio last year

he had one off the field incident- it's not like we're talking about a string of misdemeanour's. 

One of my mates is best friends with Brad Helbig and grew up with him and he said that he is on the outer and there are plenty of rumors going around. There are plenty of offield incidents that get swepyt under the carpet. What makes it serious is if the media find out or not

I dont have him in, but he has DT scoring ability. What was wrong with him last year?

He is on the outer, will be lucky to get a game.

I'm pretty sure he was injury plagued all season.

"While Richmond players are undertaking their pre season camp in Phoenix, Arizona, this week, team-mate Daniel Connors has remained at home in Melbourne.

Connors is dealing with some personal issues, and will return to training with the Tigers in due course."

Even if he looks good in NAB I'd probably still stay away, the mixture of missing some pre-season and the vague "personal issues" - surely there are better players with lower risk and higher reward in defense? Maybe Tom McDonald or Courtney Dempsey?

After reading that....I wouldn't pursue him.

Whats peoples opinion on Daniel Connors? He was in the naughty book last year but has a much cheaper price tag this year. Any news on how he has been treking in preseason? Is he on anyones radar this year??

price compared to potential makes him a very tempting prospect, but will he actually get games?

l read somewhere that he's really on the outer at richmond in a big way, so hopefully he has a point to prove

....will be monitoring over pre-season

shower bloke and fair player won't get many games

yeah no chance for my side whatsoever... they also have morris/ellis coming in who will get a go ahead of him

someone mentioned ziebell on the other page, yeah i'd have already locked ziebell in if not for the 2 games he'll be missing at the start, the guy will explode as a dter in the very very near future

cool. Post your story on the ziebell thread

struth

As a back, at $224 K definaltey one to watch in the NAB considering he averaged 92 over 14 games as a mid in 2010.
