Looks like he's gawn for the first few weeks of the season. Footage doesn't look good
-
It's inconclusive, he'd be unlucky imv
-
It's conclusive. He stopped, looked at Nort bloke and then knocked him on his ass
-
Not good enough if he goes, we can't have players like him doing poo behind the ball...if he goes he is a fool.
-
It's inconclusive, he'd be unlucky imv
Footage doesn't mean bugger all nowadays. Remember King got stitched up by Cloke in a practice game with no footage at all.
Behind the play and the guy getting subbed out means he'll get weeks.

Just saw the behind goal footage, more conclusive, not good
-
2 or 3 unfortunately..
-
spewin bc he looked good and took everything that was dished at him - nth were going for the square up for the rest of the game. Smart player, on field leader already and tough as nails
-
Stood his ground play on.
-
when did this happen? i missed the first half and a bit of the first game.
-
spewin bc he looked good and took everything that was dished at him - nth were going for the square up for the rest of the game. Smart player, on field leader already and tough as nails
Stupid player if found guilty, just like Jackson.
-
much smarter and better footballer than jackson. he is a red though so maybe he does have a fiery streak that needs to be curbed.
you really need to see the incident before you pass judgement though
-
Oh dear. That's worth 2 :(
-
he will go only cos he is a tiger, but he held his ground did nothing wrong

If al IF ..IF, thats what I said so not passing judgement yet mate. But really if found guilty, not a smart move, and a smart footballer wouldnt do that. Good player yes, smart, we will see.
-
well, with out either of us seeing it, lets say ,hypothetically, it was plain stupid.
the real issue then is does he do it again?
does he learn from his eff up, or does he do it again, then probably again.........?

Thats a fair enough comment al, I agree, but honestly, it's as stupid as King getting reported and suspended the last game of the season for the past 2-3 years.
Why (if proven guilty) would you do that in a NAB game ffs, if suspended we will be without King and Conca for round one and by all reports they went well tonight....if we have a couple of injuries (touch wood) all of a sudden we are down about 5 players going into to round one.....that just gets me.... :banghead
-
didnt do anything bad but he'll get suspended anyway.
-
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/129123/default.aspx
The footage. The only thing that I reckon going against him is he paused. Other than that, Adams should harden the eff up.
-
i think the commentator is on the money. no intent but he'll get weeks because the other bloke got knocked out.
-
Unfortunatly he's gone.
With a clean record + early guilty plea, I hope he only gets 2 weeks.
AFL hate head injuries, especially ones from bumps, especially ones behind the play.
I fear he'll get 3-4, which is ridiculous but unfortunately the nature of the AFL nowadays..
Wasn't a big bump just caught Adams in sweet spot.
-
Was a bump that normally would not be looked at but there was a clash of heads that did the damage to Adams. Conca came off also with a cut lip.
-
AFL site saying it could be a 5 week suspension :P

RICHMOND youngster Reece Conca may be facing a five week stint on the sidelines following a behind-the-play incident that left North Melbourne's Leigh Adams concussed.
In behind-the-goals footage of the incident, Conca could be seen bumping Adams in the first quarter of Richmond's round one NAB Cup game against North at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
Conca's shoulder appeared to make contact with Adams' head, although the Tiger midfielder's elbow was not raised.
Conca's biggest problem is the fact the incident took place about 40 metres behind the play.
Under new tribunal guidelines introduced in December last year, any contact made behind the play will be deemed intentional in the absence of compelling evidence otherwise.
The change was implemented after the AFL signalled its frustration with the two-match penalty given to Gold Coast Sun Campbell Brown for his off-the-ball strike on then-Western Bulldog Callan Ward early last season.
If found guilty Conca could expect a penalty of up to five matches, although he may be able to reduce any penalty with an early plea.
Adams lay on the ground for several minutes after the incident, in which time a stretcher was called onto the field. Although he was able to walk from the ground with assistance, North coach Brad Scott said after the game that Adams was "dazed and confused".
-
Adams got concussed when his head hit the ground.
-
Reece was clearly only wanting to body-bump Adams as has been going on in footy since the year dot but sadly and dreadingly I think the AFL will make an example of Reece to show off their new "intentional" rule because Adams ended up concussed no matter whether it was directly Reece's fault (from the bump) or not (an accidently clash of heads). The AFL will claim the onus of a duty of care is on the player doing the bumping so Reece will have no comeback.
-
With the changes to the rules the AFL will be 'itching' to set an early precedent. Unfortunately, Conca delivered himself up on a plate.
-
I like witnessing Toughness associated with anything Richmond. Probably has something to do with the fact that we have had such pissweek pipsqueaks putting on the jumper for too many years.
When I see new players like conca flex some muscle or a player backing up a teammate when they're getting pushed around, it brings a smile to my face.... And it makes me think maybe things are changing @ tigerland.
-
Ironed him out like a shabby shirt but honestly that would of been a golf clap from opposition players as a fair bump once upon a time. If Conca goes then Brent Harvey needs to go for a row as well for smacking him in the mouth when he came back on ffs.
-
Boomer is a little turd.
Concs is gonna be a good'n. His attack on the ball is first rate. Hope he doesnt get over two weeks. If Adams didnt go down like such a big panzy then he would be fine.
-
Hopefully 3 weeks pleaded down to two, served in the NAB, right for round 1
Where was Adams duty of care to watch where he was going?
Isnt he supposed to be a Norf hardman
"patch"
:ROTFL
-
Adams was the eff who had Cotch suspended for 4 in 2010. Sure it was late but the way they went about it then was nothing short of what I think of that circus of a footy club.
FWIW at least LA said that he ran into Conca.
-
Looked harmless. 2 weeks cos Adams was a soft prick
-

This
-
Adams should get suspended for cutting Concas lip and making him bleed his own blood the clumsy prick.
-
As a club we need to never forget the stance Nought took in 2010 with Cotch and when the skataboners time comes for MRP we stick the boot and any other projectile we can find into every hovell of that sorry footy club.
-
Also never forget that N0rt were the SINGLE AND ONLY club who not only didnt support our save our skins campaign, but felt a need to come out and make a public statement that 'weak teams like Richmond that can't survive do not deserve help to be retained in the competition'.
-
Well my hatred for that club has just gone from strength to strength now hasnt it?
-
Concs is gonna be a good'n. His attack on the ball is first rate. Hope he doesnt get over two weeks. If Adams didnt go down like such a big panzy then he would be fine.
I love his attack on the ball too. Belies his innocent look.
We have a ripper here.

yes that has gone unsaid, he was a standout in the middle in first game, loved the way he went about it, didnt waste a possie :shh

The games he is suspended for can only be served in the season proper so if he gets 5 weeks he won't be playing until round 6.
Hence why King won't be playing round 1 however he is permitted to play in the NAB Cup.
-
Maric will take King's possie for round 1.
-
Well my hatred for that club has just gone from strength to strength now hasnt it?
Nought has been promoted above Collingwood to join the Dees on my hate list.
-
With media Nought sympathisers effstix like Brayshaw and Damo around feeding bs dogma to the uneducated masses coupled with a little bit of skataboner spirit and a pinch of their inferiority complex and there you have it.
As a footy club we should
Ditch the Eureka game. Glad I buy a 16 game membership with my reserved seat and not give one cent of my hard earned to those gypsies should we play them away.
Give it to Nought at the tribunal with their stance with Cotch in 2010. Should Conca go Adams should be singled out for special attention. Their time will come on the ground and at the MRP.
Ensure that some of the hidings we have copped in the last 25 years at the hands of this club are remembered and returned back to the delight of all those associated with our footy club.
& lastly when the $10 they have in their bank account runs out and they will need another trough of gruel to feed themselves veto it or show our disaffection disgust and disatisfaction.
Nought is everything we don't want to be and secretly their hatred for us stems from the fact that they wish they had our Premierships History Glory Support Finances etc. Our gloomiest bank statement would make music at Arden Sht.
Before I end my rant I will say this just for the theme and sake of this conversation I would rather help financially the Pies and especially the Blues just in case in the future these clubs died and we never got the chance in my lifetime we play that Filth in the GF and we can pay back some of the ghosts of 1982 and before that whereas I wouldn't give that characterless footy club 1 cent.
-
I hate Carlton the most, and the whole shifty culture thing.
North and Melbourne I just can't respect. One is a hapless minnow, the other is full of toffs. Both are poot clubs.
Then there's the whole Essendon Supporter 'we deserve success' thing which I can't stand.
Collingwood I dislike. Saints are pathetic.
The rest I couldn't really care about.
-
...in trouble but what i really liked was the way it didn't seem to distract him - massive effort for a second year bloke to have that happen (then the "rough up" by angry kanga teammates) & continue to go hard and put his head over the pill...reckon he looked more composed last night as well....def have a keeper in this kid & look forward to seein him develop through the midfield more..

Reece Conca could face a month on the sidelines
by: Glenn McFarlane
From: Herald Sun
February 19, 2012
RICHMOND midfielder Reece Conca faces the prospect of spending up to a month on the sidelines after his off-the-ball clash with North Melbourne's Leigh Adams on Friday night.
But the good news for Tiger fans is he could serve at least two of those suspended matches during the NAB Cup series.
That came after AFL football operations officials met yesterday to clarify the rules for suspended players under the new set fixture of the NAB Cup.
The AFL has deemed all matches leading up to the pre-season grand final as "live games", given prizemoney is paid to the clubs from first to eighth.
Conca came under fire on Friday night after he collided with Adams away from the ball, leaving the Kangaroos player "dazed and confused".
Under changes to the AFL match review rules announced last December, all off-the-ball incidents are automatically deemed as medium or high impact.
They cannot be classed as low impact.
And, if found to have involved an elbow or a forearm, they must now be considered intentional.
The ruling between medium and high impact could be the difference between Conca receiving a three or four-game penalty this week.
The 19-year-old will find out his fate tomorrow.

Tiger Conca faces ban
Sam Lienert
February 19, 2012
RICHMOND is likely to lose promising youngster Reece Conca for its round-one match against Carlton, over an off-the-ball incident on Friday night.
The 19-year-old flattened North Melbourne's Leigh Adams in the pre-season opener at Etihad Stadium.
Behind-the-goal television footage showed Conca pause in front of a running Adams and move his body to block the path of the seemingly unsuspecting Kangaroo.
The collision left Adams lying on the ground for several minutes, before he was subbed out. North coach Brad Scott later said Adams was dazed.
The incident is likely to be classed as intentional and is certain to be graded as high contact, regardless of whether Adams' head made contact with Conca or the ground.
The greatest area of uncertainty is the degree of impact. With a medium impact grading, a rough conduct charge would be worth a four-match ban, which could be reduced to three games with an early guilty plea.
With Conca expected to be able to serve two of those matches in the remainder of the pre-season competition, that would wipe him out for the home-and-away season-opener.
The Tigers are already certain to be missing lively small forward Jake King for that match, because of a rough conduct suspension carried over from last season.

Is Adams dead? WTF is this game coming to?

I think the rule is a good and fair one WAT. If you can be suspended playing in them, then it's only right that you should serve your time in them.
I think of much greater concern is the way that the whole football media world has weighed in and stamped him as guilty and heavily suspended before he has even had a chance to defend himself. You would think the poor bugger smashed Adams face apart with a brick the way they have all become self-righteous experts.

he has been tried convicted and crucified by the media , they have stuffing blown all this up, facts are conca braced himself to protect himself, and in doing so that norffag crumbled, he should have chosen a young skinny kid to try and intimidate , not reece the conca-rer.... ffs this is a joke
i dont care if he gets done now, im just happy that we finally look lik e a team that has balls, hardness and toughness

Here's the footage and camera angle the match review panel will be relying on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOOQplSJxz8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
-
It just looks like such a soft shoulder bump and no high contact except muppet neck flopped down onto the deck to play for a free and knocked himself out overplaying the role
-
just seen it again on Foxtel.
3-4 weeks.
Too far off the ball is a real worry,
-
So what is happening about the blokes who attacked Concs afterwards, one of them coat hangared him, so thats high contact, deliberate etc, does he go for a row too?
-
Astonishing he went down so heavily from an inocuous bump, its not as if he lined him up ala the way Kosi got done, he stepped in with a block, not a baseball bat to the head.
This trial by media is pathetic
-
Stop whinging Hooter, he deserves to go. 80 metres off the ball is poor form.

I am not talking about he rule Smokey, yeah it's great, pity it wasn't in last year or we would have King back but FFS when is our game going to be left alone?
The rules for behind the ball incidents has changed and we will be the first to cop the brunt of it thanks to the press. We were also the first club to cop the change in the draft rules when we didn't get the prioriy pick and we copped the rule when the draft rules changed again, we finished bottom and the team, I think the Dees got first pick.
Leave th game alone is all I am saying.
-
nah carlton pumped us
-
Unsocialable footy has come to Tigerland. Not necessarily a bad thing but the cubs just need to be smarter when to dish it out. As much as it shouldn't be a 4-5 week suspension and the length of the suspension will be part of the AFL continually trying to take the bump out of the game, Conca was dumb to do it so far off the ball knowing the new 'intentional when off the ball' interpretation and with fox footy showing off all its different camera angles on the first night of its new coverage. The AFL will make an example of him and we'll just have to cop it :P.
-
So if he gets 4 weeks do live NAB cup games count?
-
So if he gets 4 weeks do live NAB cup games count?
That will depend on the MRP and how it issues the penalty
Adams said there was nothing in it
But unfortunately, because of the footage available it looks terrible and with the change in the rule regaridng how "behind the play incidnets" are going to graded I reckon he is on trouble
4 weeks but with an early plea and good record he'll get 3 and thet should take it.
So much for Eddie's rantings about Fox camera's will pick up everything. Hmmm in this case I ask what were the other camera's doing ;D

Tiger becomes first to benefit from new suspension law
by: Greg Denham
From: The Australian
February 20, 2012
RICHMOND defender Reece Conca will be the first beneficiary of a significant rule change set to reduce the suspension time of players during the AFL premiership season.
The league has altered its rules relating to when a player can serve his suspension. And for the first time, a suspension incurred in the pre-season competition can be served in pre-season matches.
Under previous rules, players suspended in the pre-season had to serve their time from the start of the premiership season. Last year North Melbourne's Drew Petrie, and Carlton's Michael Jamison (two games) and David Ellard all missed the start of the season proper after being suspended during the pre-season.
AFL general manager of football operations, Adrian Anderson, confirmed yesterday the rule change also applies for the eight practice games in the final weekend of the pre-season series, and the NAB Cup grand final.
"NAB Cup suspensions can be served in the NAB Cup, including the final round which determines placings and prizemoney," Anderson said.
The AFL pays prizemoney down to eighth. The winner of the NAB Cup grand final receives $198,000, while the runner-up collects $132,000. Third- and fourth-placed clubs receive $88,000, with fifth to eighth collecting $44,000.
Conca, 19, will today be cited by the match review panel after umpires lodged a notice of investigation following an incident involving North Melbourne's Leigh Adams in the first NAB Cup match of the year on Friday night at Etihad Stadium.
Adams was substituted off the field following a heavy collision off-the-ball with Conca, who appeared to contact the Kangaroos player with his shoulder.
Goal-to-goal television footage shows Conca pause in front of a running Adams before blocking the seemingly unsuspecting North Melbourne player, which left him staggering and dazed before he was attended to for several minutes while lying on the turf.
Whether the panel assess the incident as striking or rough conduct, the outcome for Conca is likely to be a three-game ban.
But with the Tigers to play a further three pre-season matches, their tough half-back could still be eligible to play against Carlton at the MCG in the opening round.
Under new tribunal guidelines introduced last year for the classification of a striking offence, striking behind the play or off the ball or during a break in play or with a raised forearm or elbow, is usually conclusive that the strike is intentional.
That change was implemented after the match review panel was deemed to have been too lenient with the two-match penalty given to the Gold Coast's Campbell Brown for his off-the-ball strike on then Western Bulldogs player Callan Ward in round three last season when his conduct was assessed as reckless.
Conca, who is ineligible for a good behaviour discount as he is entering only his second season, could attract an initial 425 demerit points if impact is assessed as high.
The Tigers are already without forward Jake King against the Blues following his two-game ban for rough conduct in round 23 last year.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick rated Conca's performance on Friday night as one of his club's positives.
"I thought Reece showed a fair bit, he took another step forward," Hardwick said, adding he was also pleased with former Adelaide ruckman Ivan Maric. "The depth of our list is certainly improving."

I went to watch the Giants v Skunks v Bullies on Saturday night. What a clash of the Bogans that was. I saw two similar incidents, same distance off the ball, only without the head clash. Players getting into position for a switch from the wing, across the ground into the forward 50, bumping their taggers and putting them on their backsides. I had the pleasure of having to sit with a group of about 30 junior-ish umpires. None of them commented when I pointed out the off-the-ball clashes.
Vale the bump!

:rollin The sad fact is though, Eddie would foot the bill no matter the cost if it meant sourcing evidence against any non Collingwood player. :banghead
-
So if he goes for 1-3 he will be eligible for round 1 and if he goes for more than 3 he will miss out?
He will go for 4+ because its Richmond.
-
There is only two games left unless we make the Nob cup final isn't there? 3 games would mean missing the Blues?

Robbo and harf are just about to discuss this on SEN 1116
If someone wants to call out Robbo on his comments the other night, here's the chance..

Does this mean hes gone for round 1 or?

Yep JVT. That's 3 weeks with the early plea included. If Reece was to challenge this and lose then it would be 4 weeks.
Mrakov - yep will miss round 1 unless we were to make the NAB Cup Grand Final.
Conca offered three
By Matt Thompson
2:55 PM Mon 20 Feb, 2012
RICHMOND midfielder Reece Conca has been offered a three-match suspension for his off the ball bump on North Melbourne's Leigh Adams at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
If the 19-year-old fights the charge at the tribunal and loses he faces a stuff ban.
The match review panel assessed the incident as reckless conduct, high impact and high contact.
But it ruled the midfielder had intended to bump or block his opponent, not make high contact, and said his intent was reckless, not intentional, under revised guidelines form striking offences this season.
Conca collided with Adams about 40m off the ball in Friday night's NAB Cup opener.
The Kangaroos said Adams pulled up fine, and could have played the second game on Friday night.
As it stands Conca now appears likely to miss only round one of the home and away season.
The League's confirmed NAB Cup games count as 'live matches', meaning at least the first two games of Conca's ban will be served before the season proper.
The Tigers will have until Tuesday at 11am to decide whether to take the case to the tribunal or accept the suspension.
The panel also investigated why Conca left the field under the blood rule in the first half against North Melbourne, but found no reportable offence had occurred.
Conca played 17 games in 2011, earning a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination in what was his debut season.
In other cases reviewed by the match review panel North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas was offered a reprimand with 60 carry-over points for striking Conca, and Fremantle's Josh Mellington and Essendon's Leroy Jetta have been been fined $900 for wrestling. They can fight it, but risk $1200 fines if they lose.

Lets make the granny then :banghead

Just on SEN:

Is that 3 with an early guilty plea? :banghead
Would think so and that's about right based on how they said they would grade behnd the play incidents.
Just take it tigers and move on - he will only miss round 1 of the H&A season so it's not a bad result ;D
-
AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson confirmed yesterday the rule change also applies for the eight practice games in the final weekend of the pre-season series, and the NAB Cup final.
:cheers
-
I hope Mrakov is correct, but somehow I doubt it. We need him in Round 1 :clapping
-
Under new rules that allow players to serve suspensions for incidents in the NAB Cup during the pre-season, Conca can serve all three weeks of his suspension then line up against Carlton in the first round of the home-and-away season.
After the rules were clarified by the AFL, the Tigers don't even have to make the NAB Cup final - a highly unlikely prospect after they lost to the Roos in their first game - to take advantage of the new loophole.
Conca will sit out Richmond's next to NAB Cup fixtures, against Fremantle and Geelong, and a yet-to-be scheduled practice match on the same weekend as the NAB Cup final.
Will play round 1.

Accept the ban, brilliant stuff! :shh :thumbsup
-
This "loophole" is an AAnderson rule (read: stuff up)
Don't be surprised if little AA comes out and says there has been a "mis-understanding and that's not what I meant" and changes it .... ;D
-
lol
-
Mrakov is right according to the RFC site as well :thumbsup.
Under new rules that enable players to serve suspensions for incidents in the NAB Cup during the pre-season, Conca would be able to serve all three matches of his suspension and then be available to play against Carlton in the opening round of the 2012 home-and-away season.
The Tigers have two more scheduled NAB Cup fixtures, against Fremantle and Geelong, and a practice match, yet to be determined, on the same weekend as the NAB Cup final, if they are not playing off for the pre-season premiership. That game will count as part of the NAB Cup, given the fact it will affect placings on the NAB Cup ladder used to decide prize-money in the pre-season competition. The AFL will pay prize-money down to eighth placing in the NAB Cup.
Given Richmond is on an AFL Community Camp in Mildura until late Tuesday, it has been granted an extension, until Wednesday morning, to decide whether to take the case to the tribunal or accept the suspension.

Well if he does miss round one we can only hope the same happens with a Carlton player next week, even it up a bit.
Love to see him play round one though.

RICHMOND midfielder Reece Conca is clear to play in Round 1 if he accepts a three-week ban for his high hit on Kangaroo Leigh Adams.
Under new rules that allow players to serve suspensions for incidents in the NAB Cup during the pre-season, Conca can serve all three weeks of his suspension then line up against Carlton in the first round of the home-and-away season.
After the rules were clarified by the AFL, the Tigers don't even have to make the NAB Cup final - a highly unlikely prospect after they lost to the Roos in their first game - to take advantage of the new loophole.
Conca will sit out Richmond's next to NAB Cup fixtures, against Fremantle and Geelong, and a yet-to-be scheduled practice match on the same weekend as the NAB Cup final.
The game will technically count as part of the NAB Cup - and Conca's ban - because it will affect placings on the NAB Cup ladder used to determine prizemoney in the pre-season competition.
The match review panel today assessed Conca's contact with Adams as reckless conduct, high impact and high contact.
But it ruled the midfielder had intended to bump or block his opponent, not make high contact, and said his intent was reckless, not intentional.
Adams was subbed out of the game but the Roos said he could have played against Hawthorn in their second game on Friday night.
Conca will risk a four-match ban if he challenges the MRP ruling.
Under previous rules, players suspended in the pre-season had to serve their time from the start of the premiership season. Last year North Melbourne's Drew Petrie, and Carlton's Michael Jamison (two games) and David Ellard all missed the start of the season proper after being suspended during the pre-season.
AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson confirmed yesterday the rule change also applies for the eight practice games in the final weekend of the pre-season series, and the NAB Cup final.
"NAB Cup suspensions can be served in the NAB Cup, including the final round which determines placings and prizemoney," Anderson told The Australian.
The AFL pays prizemoney down to eighth. The winner of the NAB Cup final receives $198,000, while the runner-up collects $132,000. Third- and fourth-placed clubs receive $88,000, with fifth to eighth collecting $44,000.
In other match review panel verdicts, North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas was offered a reprimand with 60 carry-over points for striking Conca, and Fremantle's Josh Mellington and Essendon's Leroy Jetta have been been fined $900 for wrestling.
In the hun

this is the brave new world of football. Intent has been replaced with duty of care.
a round arm, deliberate punch gets a reprimand because it didnt realy do any damage while conca gets 3 weeks for that. He may as well have raised the elbow, he wouldnt have got too much extra.
these buffoons need to go play a game of hockey against a yr7 PE class and learn about duty of care.

What if Chris Judd had done it? I wonder if the fat grub would have been so vehement in his desire for the perpetrator being banished forever. He is fast approaching Barrett in his stupidity and bias.

Robbo just trying to shift focus from his Bumblers.

His bump looked far worse so 3 weeks is fine, a bit of a rest for a bifg year for the Conc!

Just a slap on the wrist and a few weeks off

WELCOME to Free Hit February.
If you are going to strike, bump, scratch or even stomp on somebody, make sure it is in the first round of the NAB Cup.
You can cop three matches - a hefty suspension under a match review panel formula laden with discounts - and still play in the opening round of the home-and-away season.
For the first time, under an extended NAB Cup competition, a player can serve his suspension in all pre-season games.
Under previous rules, players suspended in the pre-season had to serve their time from the start of the premiership season - unless their team continued in a knockout NAB Cup.
North Melbourne's Drew Petrie and Carlton's Michael Jamison missed the start of the real thing last season after being nailed by the panel in pre-season games.
Yet Reece Conca, who was dealt three matches yesterday for a bump on North Melbourne's Leigh Adams, is free to play against Carlton in Round 1 as the Tigers' next three pre-season matches will count as penance.
That is two NAB Cup games, and even the final round of glorified experimental practice games.
The AFL's theory is simple: The games are more meaningful than in the past because final NAB Cup placings and prizemoney are on the line. A club could move from eighth to sixth on the summer ladder and pick up a few thousand extra.
You can understand the league's take, but it is a massive stretch.
Missing pre-season games of any kind is not a sufficient deterrent. In fact, it would be a positive for some.
Players like to preserve themselves. It's nice to have a run or two, but missing three "practice" matches is hardly a brutal blow.
Collingwood star Dane Swan was that relaxed for Saturday night's NAB Cup openers, he didn't even know for sure if the Pies had won when he was interviewed at Blacktown post-match.
It's hardly a big deal missing a match of that status.
This column should not be seen as a slap to Conca, who was stiff to cop three. Yes, it was off the ball but it was hardly a hanging offence.
But he is extremely fortunate to create history by missing three summer matches and freshening up for Round 1 against the Blues.
And Petrie and Jamison, who suffered the pain of missing Round 1 last year, should be peeved.

Darcy also reckons Cordy, Roughead and *snicker* Minson could be the most fearsome ruck combination in the history of football.
I hope he's right about Conca though. I am certainly happy with him.

First time we get something go our way and the football world is up in arms.
Next headline will be "AFL gone corrupt-Richmond getting as many free kicks as the other clubs!"

Who writes this crap?? This sentence completely contradicts itself. How can you have a clarification of a ratified rule change which was designed to prevent players infringing preseason from being punished in the season proper classified as a loophole? :banghead
Definition : A loophole is an ambiguity in a system, such as a law or security, which can be used to circumvent or otherwise avoid the intent, implied or explicitly stated, of the system.
There is nothing ambiguous about this rule change at all. I wonder if this journo would have called it a "Loophole" if it was a non Richmond player! They just love kicking us don't they! >:(
-
Am happy with this. I would have been happier if he got off but under the rules he did well not to miss the first week of the real stuff. Seemed to have stepped up from last year so we will welcome the midfield depth he provides come round one.
-
Tigers accept the penalty
:gobdrop :gobdrop
No brainer I would have thought
-
Knew Reece was hard at the ball. Nice to know he's hard at the man also.. :)
-
Media starting to realise not only who this guy is but that he can play. The week's events have lifted the young man's profile somewhat..
-
Yep reckon Concs is a beauty, happy he is playing round1.
On the suspension spose it's a fair deal in the environment we are operating, all the same turds (and that's all they are) wanting him drawn and quartered need a good look at themselves.
There was no malice in the event just a really nice block a bit far off the ball, even Concs could of got hurt the way it panned and what that says is he has a knack of protecting himself and getting in the right position.
Oh yeah and (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnnPG6vaAqrsBo03Yy0rY8ZIxb4RRwEbXlTq8XVdoZU2X9Mo-P) Norf, they liked to bully us and when the table is turned whine like the little biatches they are.

Norf fans think he will serve it in NAB Cup ala Conca. Can't wait till they realise this isn't the case. Gunna sit back with a few tinnies and enjoy the lulz.
-

Poor wording. I didn't mean it specifically my bad. But I thought off the ball was automatically intentional and he only got reckless?
