Connor Idun has done key defensive jobs in the TAC cup for the Falcons and Vic Country over the last 2 years.  He also swung forward at times with some success.  He was selected at full back in the TAC team of the year.

He has a combine invite and will likely be taken later in the draft I would guess.

Connors playing height at the start if the year was 189 but he is more than that now.  He has a very strong build and could play senior footy straight away.

He is an excellent judge of the ball in flight and has excellent hands.  Has great agility and sideways movement and is a neat kick.  He also has great game sense and is a natural leader having captained the Falcons when Sam Walsh was absent.

Further to that he is a really humble, smart and respectful kid who will work hard and contribute to the culture of a football club.

I would not be at all surprised if Connor forged himself a very good to excellent career.  He would be ideally suited to the third tall defensive position. 

His only knocks would be his pace in a straight line, and possibly a lack of height to play a true kpd spot but he might have grown a little more since I last saw him.

Disclaimer: I know Connor well and have coached him at local level.  I have watched him rise as a junior playing with my boys.  Having said that I am pretty objective, I think the kid has a lot of attributes, both physical and mental that will give him a big chance of being a good senior AFL footballer.

    Like it.

    Can you suggest another one or two for this year, Stretch?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
