I like Weller, but at the time it was surprising that we took him ahead of Lever. Perhaps after what happened with Mora we were spooked by taking a bloke who already had an ACL recon under his belt.
Connor is a small success story for Freo. Taken at pick 34, given a small taste in his rookie season, given plenty of chances in his second season (when young players start to build their tank), and a regular by his third year. I also like that he has been given a number of roles to develop his game.
He’s a natural footy player so that makes it easier, but it goes to show that we can develop players from time-to-time.
