Like Richmond, hasn't really played well since late 2013.

Isn't quick or skillful enough to play outside.
Doesn't win enough of it inside
So is really just a rotation guy from half forward through the middle
Struggles with injury

Maybe take a chance on him for free instead of Matt Jones. Maybe.

    Hes a weak sniper with no football ability or brains.

    I think he's got ability but hasn't played enough football in the last year or so with injury.

    Sometimes with a guy like him who I would think has an attitude problem they frustratingly don't realise their career is shot till it's too late. Whether us or another team take a chance on him he would have to be minimums pay and trade (ie free) and then maybe it's what he needs to turn his career around.

    But he has a lot of baggage. The odds are stacked against him. It's always a nice story when a (percieved) wastrel turns his career around, works hard and becomes a good AFL citizen.

    tough call, but I would have picked Heppell in the draft instead

    What this shows is that a first round pick is no guarantee and players who can stay injury free are more valuable than those who are a risk of repeat injuires.

    Heppell, Prestia & Tom Lynch all coming just after Conca.

    He was as bad as Fiora over Pavlich, or Tambling over Franklin.

    Thanks CAC.

    I wholeheartedly rate Matt Jones as a better player than Reece Conca.

    I wonder if we would have taken Lynch, if GC hadn't 

    Prendergast told Matt Burgen in his re-cap after the draft that we would've. Instead................we were left with Lucas Cook.

    I remember waiting the couple of minutes after the top 10 selections were announced, praying that GC wouldn't take Lynch. They did.

    As a result i was hoping that we'd take Darling. What followed was me cursing at the radio for a good 20 seconds. Lucas Cook!!! FMD, i'd laugh if that decision still didn't hurt. I knew right then that Prenderghast had NFI.

    Just had a look at the 2010 draft list.

    It was not exactly stellar with the benefit of hindsight

    http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_drafts?year=2010&t=N

    Credit where credit is due, might have stuff Cook (seriously, how did you screw that pick up! The next few were Seb Tape, Brodie Smith, Smedts, Jacobs, Atley, Smith, anyone would have been nice) but nailed 33 (Howe 120 games) and Tommy Mac (104 games). Just for reference those with over 100 games on that list are Gaff, Heppell, Lynch, Smith, Atley, Smith, Guthrie, Darling, Parker, Poppy. Not a bad 12 players there and GC with 8 picks in the top 13 only have 1 of them......

    He ruined us

    We need pace, Conca isn't quick.

    I could chase down Conca after smashing a kebab and two pints...

    We need a jet to add some run.

    What was your reaction when we drafted Max Gawn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
