Conca up for trade.

Personally I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a spoon!

What would other people rather then Conca?

Stab you in the other eye for putting this post up....lol

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.

We could use him once every 4-6 weeks to take out the opponents best player?

Hes a weak sniper with no football ability or brains.

Should suit us perfectly

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.

Just had a look at the 2010 draft list.

It was not exactly stellar with the benefit of hindsight

Marcus Seecamp v2?

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.

Not sure if you're being serious here 'Jim'????

If only Lynch had dropped down one more place.....

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.

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.

conca………………. not going to conca anything……. anymore.

What was your reaction when we drafted Max Gawn.
