Unfortunately for Connor hes not even doing the things he does normally do well, like running or extracting the ball like a terrier from the contest. He couldnt or wouldnt keep up with the Mullet head when running down the wing and just gave up and pointed to him, for some other sucker to pick up. Not good enough.
I watched him last week just wander aimlessly off his Bulldogs opponent who was about 5 m off the action. He vaguely wafted over to the bullies ball carrier who was in the process of getting tackled by AA Luke Ryan. Ryan didnt need assistance it was clear he would make the tackle. Connor just needed to cover the outflow. No, he leaves his man, sucks into the ball but not enough to actually impact the contest, the Doggies player then handballs to Connors player who is now streaming away from the contest and another forward foray results. Dumb footy which i normally blame the coach for.
My only guess is that JLo has spoken to him about these things yet he keeps doing them because he is unable to execute and think quick enough at AFL pace or maybe hes lost all confidence? Its unfortunate as Ive been following him since his black duck days but for whatever reason, he is really struggling and we need to see what else we`ve got.
