22 June 2017Every club houses a player whose career has not unfolded as expected after a bright start or top draft billing.
We take a look at one from all 18 clubs that has failed to live up to expectation so far...
RICHMOND
Reece ConcaStarted this year in fine fashion but on the full body of work four good games does not make a career that for the most part has spluttered after the Tigers made the Western Australian the sixth overall selection at the 2010 national draft.
Had his mental toughness questioned by former development coach Mark Williams after a litany of hamstring injuries thwarted the 181cm Tiger’s attempts to get his career started. But even when fit and firing exactly where does Conca fit in?
Is tough and works hard, which is good in leagues with half-time oranges and post-game certificates.
In the AFL, players are generally in trouble when coaches start talking about how hard they played. Still has time to produce but right now stands in a group of players taken at recent drafts that produced too many excuses and not enough players.
