I am not trying to ignore his short comings. I don't hate Conca as a player nor do I love him. I am quite ambivalent toward him in fact. But he is a whipping boy. Ox, as an example calls him fat in other threads and at 185 cm and 78 kegs he has me getting lap band surgery.

im sure his skin folds aren't up to the required level.

can the guy tackle? yes but so can newman and morris should we keep those 2 as well.  :shh

Im more about his so called damaging foot skills. Gee whiz his 20 metre kicks that he is so fond off are momentum killers

as for freo offering him a massive deal well in this instance we are made to look like even bigger fools for not letting him go for a trade.

The biggest problem with this guy is not with him, its with the bloke who selected him and the club for making the biggest blunder since i can remember. Heppell was a sure thing but hackson had to think outside the square and screw it up yet again.

Anyway whats done is done but they can still offload him and that is exactly what i would do for one of the west australian ruckman not getting senior opportunities.

When put in light of Heppell then, yes, it doesn't look great. But like you said, he is not to blame for that, the club is.
I also agree a trade for a ruck from WA would be good, once again that doesn't mean I have hate for him, he is tradeable. But do the clubs from the west wish to trade their rucks and do they want to come?

Said it many times before, Conca can play and play very well. We all see things differently but i see a player who sticks tackles, runs into the rights positions, gets the hardball, clearances, kicks well enough, team player, brings others into the game like Edwards does and even he still cops it from some :P. Keeper for mine :clapping
We require times, opponents and dates of this please?


You only need to watch the game with open eyes and you will see that can play the game. But again, its my opinion :whistle

Which "game"?

Kicked 3 goals against Brisbane in 2013 and backed it up with another 3 goals against GWS two weeks later.

Pick 6 for a jam donut.

Ive defended him in the past but after spraying the ball around in the EF ive had enough. Can't hit a target over 20m. Spoons the ball when under minimal pressure to players who are under pressure.

Ill diciplined and Ill tempered.

And we are paying through the nose for him salary wise.
yeah, who'd have thought that a bloke who has barely played any senior footy for 12 months and not too much footy at all this season would struggle with the intesnity when thrown into an AFL final without having played any footy for 8 weeks or so?

And you post about trolling  ::)
He has some talent but :-
He's not the 6th best player from 2010 draft
He can't get fit - injury or skin folds
I'm just losing faith that he's body will hold up long enough to see if he's talent will hold up

Never rated him and was a big critic of his selection for the match, but to be fair, apart from that stupid turnover, thought he went alright in the final all things considered....ran the ball out of defence well and that one-on-one steal for the goal was pretty damn good...

The people on this forum that look through Rose Coloured Glasses at the RFC, the "Rose Coloured Glass Gang"!! The RFC can do no wrong and the team we have is the capable of winning the flag with the players we have.

No doubt now an opposite acronym will be sourced.. :snidegrin
