I think the bitching and complaining about Conca is the football equivalent of a first world problem.

You could argue that anything to do with any afl player on the field is a first world problem.

Meaningless statement on a football forum.

Since when is constructive criticism and discussion a bad thing?

I think he means, at least conca is still pretty good

and not totally rubbish

at least he recovered with this gold:

Is he as good as Heppell - probably not.

Hang on, before we re-hash the Conca Vs Heppell debate, to even up the contest Conca deserves to have a year on the PED's!   
Heppell has been 'enhanced', Conca hasn't!   :snidegrin

I think if you are unsure whether you would prefer to see Grigg or Conca in the side you know that the kid has a long way to go and as a pick 6 and after 5 years things are not looking great.
I really hope he can turn things around as he seems like a really great "Richmond  person"

Your right what is that person thinking. It really is a no brainer Grigg has easily out performed Conca to date.

Hmmmmmmm ...

Why didn't he have a whole game in the midfield?
Hardwick is now listening to claw and playing him off a hbf.....
Looks more likely back there.Like every one i have been highly critical of him but i would like to see how he goes playing off h/b this year. Its his best chance imo of giving something back to the club.
On his k/e% its not his kicking as such but his decision making imo.
Definately last chance hotel in saying that  like others i would have liked to see what we could have got for him at trade last year.

Sorry Clawski I disagree. It's definitely his kicking not his decision making.

 I sometimes think, based on other Richmond supporters I know that the average Tiger fan is relatively intelligent. But then one realises half of our fans are naturally below this average.

The type of people that go to the zoo and expect the animals to do circus tricks to entertain them.

His problem is his brain.

Conca as a hbf?  Hmm, I'm not convinced.  I don't think it is the right role for him. 
I'd rather see Conca be given a lock-down role deep in defence, I see him as a back pocket stopper rather than a rebounding flanker.  Given the chance to apply himself to beating his opponent one on one I think his natural grit & competitiveness will come out.  I just don't think he is up to the role of the tear-away HB who will rebound & then set us up to go forward with a precise & intelligent disposal. 
I see Conca as a natural at the bottom of the pack throwing his body over live grenades, so lets give him a role that suits that mindset.  When he is expected to run & carry the doubts get into his mind & he turns it over - as we have all seen!  Leave the pretty stuff to the Yarran's & Houli's of this world & let Reece smash into bodies, tackle like a bear & concentrate solely on dominating & intimidating his direct opponent.  I reckon he will develop a taste for that instead of trying to be a pretty, classical footballer dashing off the HB line ...  He's not a dasher, he's a smasher!

Sugar in the tank til it's almost not running. Brake fluid across the bonnet at 10 to 12 and then straight off a cliff.

Beers and cigars afterwards.
