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.

I rate him, just another good solid player.

Why not just go for everybody!

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

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

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
