Connors is clearly a versatile player, showing the ability to control half back, win the clearances in the middle, or play deep in the forward line. His goal kicking is much improved, highlighted by one of the best goals of the year in Coburg's preliminary final win over Williamstown, where he ran the whole wing, bouncing and weaving his way to a shot from 40m on the boundary which sailed through the middle. |

Daniel Connors (born September 22, 1988) is an Australian rules footballer who was selected at number 58 overall in the 2006 AFL national draft by the Richmond Football Club. Originally from the Echuca Football Club, he played for Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup and was named in the 2006 TAC Cup Team of the Year and the All-Australian team after representing Victoria Country at the National Under 18 Championships. Daniel Connors was considered a "steal" from the 2006 National Draft as many touted him as a possible Top 10 pick but slipped down to an incredible 58 where Richmond took him without hesitation.
Daniel is a natural athlete who excelled in every sport he played as a junior including Golf, Tennis, Cricket, Basketball and Athletics.
His first year at Richmond has been full of highlights, with many trademark hangers at both AFL and VFL level. Daniel claimed the VFL Mark of the Year award, and helped lead Coburg towards the Grand Final. After a slow start to the season with fitness issues, he finished at lightning speed, playing his first four AFL games and then coming back to dominate across the ground in the VFL.
Connors is clearly a versatile player, showing the ability to control half back, win the clearances in the middle, or play deep in the forward line. His goal kicking is much improved, highlighted by one of the best goals of the year in Coburg's preliminary final win over Williamstown, where he ran the whole wing, bouncing and weaving his way to a shot from 40m on the boundary which sailed through the middle.
He is seen as a future star of the game, combining the poise of Dal Santo, the aggression of Voss and the skills of Hodge. Daniel Connors could be anything. Daniel Connors has been touuted as the next Chris Judd who in time will become of the game's most elite players.
