Re: Draft Combine

Connor Menadue is interesting- 188cm, very lean midfielder but tested well in the sprints and repeat sprints. I wonder what his disposal is like?
Is he a potential second rounder?

He's a solid prospect, but that's a huge wrap to put on a kid.

Re: Draft Combine

Nakia Cockatoo is putting in an incredible performance.

I haven't seen him play, so I can't comment - but based on what I've read and his testing, do others think he could be worth a punt?

I'd rather an Andrew Macleod clone.... Hold the phone.

He's our 2nd round pick in Paige Cardona's phantom, pick 15 in Knightmare's

Pick 25: Western Bulldogs – Connor Menadue

Position: Midfielder/forward
Height: 188 cm, Weight: 69 kg, DOB: 19/09/1996
Club: Western Jets
Projected draft range: 20-40
Player comparison: 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 a club that’s looking for pace in their midfield. 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, while also making good decisions. 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 clean hands. Named best on ground in the Jets’ elimination loss, Menadue almost willed the Jets over the line off his own boot.

He was BOG in the under 18 Exhibition match played prior to the Grand Final. Saw snippets. Gee he is fast.

He looked an exciting prospect.

Re: Draft Combine

He looked an exciting prospect.

Especially the play when he took it from the centre bouncing the ball and then kicking a 55 metre goal.
