Forget Martin, get in Conca's ear.

Still unsigned, Tiges will have little in their kitty after Martin, would be happy if we made Reece an offer that would lure him from Punt rd

    Good player Conca but I think the hold up is about him wanting to go home. Maybe we would be a chance if we relocate to WA.

    Am very confident he would sign, but Richmond are offering him a pittance compared to what he would be worth on the open market.

    Money is the issue here, not home, and he isn't being greedy!

    If that's the case then he is worth a crack. I rate Conca, hard at it and good basic skills with a lot of upside.

    Hard to believe the Tiges would let him go.

    Anyone out of contract is fair game, he is quality so offer him what he is worth, not sure what that would be exactly and see what he has to say, if he says no we're in the same position as we are now.

    Tigers would hate to see him leave, but if they sign Martin, would only be able to afford to offer Conca half of what he is worth if my understanding of situation is right

    Surprised it took this long for Conca's name to be floated. Hard at it. Reasonable skill level and would be a perfect fit for our midfield as he is 185cm tall and can take a good overhead mark. The only hesitance would be that he is susceptible to foot injuries..... 2012 broken toe, 2013 stress point (hot spot) of the foot.

    His eyes are too close together, no thanks.

    At least he hasn't got a piece of tape holding his nose up Django ;);)

    High draft pick which matters little now.

    But averaged just less than 20 touches over the last two seasons.

    In the right age bracket.

    Will continue improving and may get the chance to flourish in our midfield with more opportunities in comparison to the tiges.

    And lets face it, we have to pay someone so it's a good chance to get him across

    As I have said elsewhere we are into him! Offering I believe 1.8m for 4 years

    Is he worth that or are we having to pay overs cause we are the MFC?

    That would be a reasonably handy preseason draft acquisition.

    Exactly the type of player we should be targeting imo

    Gee I'd love him on our list but that definitely seems too much. 450k a year is huge. We still need to have enough cap to target players such as Adams, Selwood and Swallow.

    Would be only just over what his current market rate would be IMO. Over a 4 year contract, if he keeps steadily improving, reckon in two years we would be paying less than his market rate with that offer

    We have plenty of cap space...

    We have been frontloading because we have no-one to pay.

    Would love this kid

    Just turned 21, and if you take out the elimination final where he got 0 touches as he was injured early , he averaged around 20 disposals per game and kicked 12 goals in 16 games

    Really hope we can land him

    Well you're strike rate is beyond appalling so I'm just going to throw this gossip in the pile of horse [censored] basket.

    Of course we'd be "into" Conca.

    There wouldn't be a decent young midfielder we're not courting. Getting players over the line will be the hard part.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
