Conca cops 2 weeks from the MRP [updated]

[unplugged]

They should make an example of him..  Cowardly sniper act.  Loses the brawl and then sneaks up behind for a cheap shot.  Don't like where this club has gone the last two weeks with Vickery and now Conca.  Both have done more damage to the clubs image than they have delivered onfield.  Never rated either player.  How did we end up with this dud over Heppell?  Massive mistake.

Where was this aggression and attack on the ball and ball carrier.  If you want your club respected and feared, look at Duncan's hit on Swallow last night in the contest.  What we are delivering is just gutless.

2-3 weeks for not using his fist.

I for one will never complain when I see some mongrel on the footy field.

I think Conca is frustrated. He can see players from other clubs improving and becoming stars of the game, playing regular finals whilst he is becoming just another ordinary Richmond player that can't win contested possessions and continues to dinky kick or handballs to a contest whenever he gets the ball.
He doesn't know why this is happening too him but it must be frustrating for him especially when he was picked before Heppell and Prestia he knows that whilst they are being named as future stars of the comp, he will be just another ordinary Richmond battler with his easy possessions and dinky short kicks.
I hope he wakes up and becomes a star player too but he may have to move back west to reach his potential.
Poor bastard.

Our club needs to have players with balls. Both Tyrone and Conca did good IMHO. Its time other clubs players feared our club. Im sick and tired of having soft half hearted players. We need more mongrels. If you want soft go barrack for St Kilda.

he can make instant improvements himself .....1 don't do dinky kicks
                                                          2 think before you act eg dumb handballs to contests.
you don't need Ron Barrassi to teach you this

What they did was soft.  It takes no balls to sneak up behind someone and king hit them.  You want balls, you show it when you crunch the opposition with fierce tackles and bumps.  North Melbourne players couldn't get up after being hit by the Geelong players last night.  Fair hits and in the contest.

Sneak attacks are just a soft cowards game.

Tiger Thomas laments Conca 'brain fade'

Richmond midfielder Matt Thomas has defended the character of Reece Conca, but admits it's disappointing to see another of his teammates reported.

Conca had his number taken on Saturday for striking Devon Smith in the Tigers' fifth consecutive AFL win, a 27-point triumph over GWS at the MCG.

It was Richmond's second match-day report for striking in the space of eight days.

As Smith trotted towards the interchange bench in the second quarter, Conca raced after the GWS midfielder and caught him completely unawares with an elbow to the back of the head.

Tigers forward Ty Vickery was last week given a four-game ban when he was referred directly to the tribunal for knocking out West Coast ruckman Dean Cox.

Conca is likely to join Vickery on the sidelines for the club's crucial Friday night clash with Essendon.

"I know Reece is such a great guy with a great character .. hopefully everything works out for him," Thomas said.

"(It is disappointing he was reported), especially with a big game coming up.

"Reece is a really important player for our team and we don't like to see anyone get reported.

"There's playing on the edge and Reece does that very well. It's probably a bit of a brain fade."

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said he didn't see the incident, but that he'd look at speaking to Conca about his aggression.

"We like our guys to play tough, we don't like them to go above and beyond that. We've got to wheel them back if they do," Hardwick said.

Agression is aggression irrespective of how it happens. Our club produced the likes of Jack Dyer and Mopsy Fraser and Neil Balme and a  host of others who knew what it meant to put fear into opposition players. Thats what we have to get back too not this pussy footing lets be nice and have a singalong at the footy rubbish. Lets start hitting blokes in the opposition, theyll start pooting emselves and we will be feared. Thats what footy is about. Not this gumbayah crap that everyone wants.

Yes, Vickery and Conca's acts were "dog acts". However, we need "AGRESSION". We need to be smarter how it happens.

Like in a marking contest, smash them.

Under a pack, jump into them harder.

Make them earn everything.

Tough. Ruthless. Tigers.

Agreed sure its undisciplined but would rather do this than see them whimper.

'Not my smartest move', says Conca of Smith hit

RICHMOND midfielder Reece Conca insists he's a fair player despite being reported for striking Giant Devon Smith from behind on Saturday.
 
Smith was leaving the ground after a scuffle with the Tiger, when Conca ran up behind him and struck the Giant in the back of the head with his elbow.
 
He was immediately reported and looks set to join teammate Tyrone Vickery on the sidelines, after the forward was suspended for four weeks for striking retiring West Coast veteran Dean Cox in round 18.
 
"Obviously it wasn't the smartest move," Conca admitted to Channel Nine on Sunday morning.
 
"But it's out of my control now, so I'll just let it be and see what happens.
 
"I'd like to think I'm a fair player but once you cross the line it gets a bit heated."
 
When asked if he would like to issue an apology to Smith, a reluctant Conca offered a less than heartfelt response.
 
 "Sorry mate … there you go," he told the reporter.

Conca's teammate Troy Chaplin condemned the actions, telling Channel Nine's TAC Cup Future Stars the 21-year-old had a "brain fade".
 
"It is disappointing from Reece," Chaplin said.
 
"He is going to have to swallow his pride and cop whatever.
 
"We don't want to be seen as thugs and the last two weeks have been isolated incidents with Vickery and Reece.
 
"We want to play tough football but unfortunately it doesn't look good and we'll have to wait to see what happens."
 
Conca now faces a nervous wait ahead of the Match Review Panel's findings, which will be released on Monday.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick didn't see the incident during the match but said after the game he would be disappointed if Conca was suspended.
 
"We want our guys to play to the line, we don't want them to step over," Hardwick said.
 
"If he gets weeks, whatever it may be, we're really disappointed. We like our guys to play tough but we don't like them to go above and beyond."
