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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
