 Daniel Connors was considered a "steal" from the 2006 National Draft as many touted him as a possible top 20 pick but slipped down to the 58th selection where Richmond selected him with their third selection.After playing 18 games in his first two season, Connors' contract was extended in 2008 and with a change of coach at the end of the 2009 season, he was seen as a potential key to Richmond's future success.Connors was suspended by Richmond for eight matches following a drunken rampage outside a Sydney hotel in 2010, hours after the Tigers' Round 3 loss against the Sydney Swans the night before.
