I criticise him because I don't think he's very good...undisciplined, unfit, injury prone, mainly because he's unfit, generally a poor decision maker with unreliable disposal , capable of good disposal yes, (two best passes by foot I've seen in recent years were both by him.)  but it's few far between and has some decent evasive skills, goes hard and tackles ok but that's about it and no more than what you could get from 4th rounder or a the kind of very good state leaguer you occassionally find with rookie picks....that he cost a first round pick at the expense of far superior & better performed players just happens to be the kicker to all that.

Could he improve and get over his  injury problems? Dunno, maybe, I guess, but unless he absolutely stands out for the remainder of the season, I'm not willing to hang onto him forever or until he's worth absolutely nothing just to find out.

I am of the belief he is much better when he kicks the ball long for example the kick to Martin in the fourth quarter which led to the goal by Lloyd. Has got to play consistent football between now and the end of the season to stay at the club.
Unfortunately when anyone kicks the ball long they are breaking team rules. Dumma will not have it! Chip chip dinky20 sideways crab movement is "the Richmond way".  :clapping

I like how 'rance gave the goal goal away'...

Only guy trying to kick forwards , make the play. From the last spot on the zone.

Cause lambert at 50 meters out thought it's a goo idea to kick it backwards 60 meters
Then he grabbed two chopsticks and stuck them in his mouth , pretending to be a walrus

“I was probably more half-back earlier in the year and I’ve slotted more midfield, bit of wing, the last few weeks (at VFL level and now in the AFL) . . . Really enjoying the time on-ball,” Conca said. 

“Contested ball and tackles are a real focus at the moment, and I’m putting my foot forward in that aspect of the game . . . I’ve been really working on it.

“If they need me down back . . . I played a little bit (there) in the last quarter (against the Suns).  So, just wherever they need me, really.”

I watched a replay of the last quarter against the Suns and thought that Conca played very well in that quarter. It is at that level that he should be playing each week for four quarters. Hopefully can stay injury free and play to that standard.

Agreed. I'd rank him as close to our top 10 if in 2013 form (which perhaps says more about our list after the top 5). Still can't kick though :(

Tough as nails, that's why he hits opposition players from behind when they are heading to the bench, real tough.... :snidegrin
