Thing that annoys me is some of the best kicks I've ever seen have come off his boot under pressure. Think he struggles more in the open

Mental weakness.

But then again, the club drafted him ahead of others because he's a quality guy

I wouldn't go as far and call him JON. After all JON played less than 10 games in a side that really really struggled, at least Reece is better. Yep the thing that irks us we gave away pick 6. Spot on.

Trade.

All I mean with the JON reference is the quality of drafts and maybe what we could have had instead of either of them.
Actually saw JON at the GF on Saturday.  :lol

I remember at the time we drafted both he and Ellis the club lauded their foot skills and now they're both below average kicks. Maybe Richmond turns them into poor kicks.

That's pretty much the history of the RFC since the Pitura deal.
Wrong player, high price, huge mistake big reverberations.

There are worse than Reece Conca on our list. Our clean up should begin there.
Why is this always thrown up when players are criticised.  He may not be in the bottom 6 worst so that then means two things, we lack quality and depth and he should have some sort of value in a trade.
When will  the basic principal of  it is better to trade a player while he still has some sort of percieved value,  rather than waiting until he is worthless come into existence at our club and with our supporters.
This is what people are saying, get something back on our original investment while we can.
It really is a trait of the club to hang onto players for as long as they can in the hope they will become top players, invariably we end up keeping them for 6 7 8 yrs and get nothing at the end of it all.

I never said not to trade him just that our clean up should start below him.
You said we lack quality depth, I'll go one step further, it's atrocious. Other than that, i agree.

Reece reviewing his "frustrating" 2015 season on 'Roar Vision' ....

VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-10-27/conca-season-review-2015

* It’s extremely frustrating. Sort of been the story of my career a little bit.

* Obviously this year’s probably been a bit more significant in that I missed pretty much the whole season.  I played three games overall, whereas in previous years I’d been able to scrape through 17-18 games. I’d sort of get the hamstring right, then come back and two or three times I’d play a couple of games and then get re-injured. You get your hopes up and then you get crushed again. I guess playing in the elimination final was a little bit of a bonus at the end of a pretty disappointing year.

* I feel in really good nick physically, so I’m pretty sure that all my injuries should be behind me from here on in. I’m looking forward to a massive pre-season and a big season next year.

He will prove a lot of people right and just as many  wrong.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
