As much as I feel sorry for Conca, and I think he is a decent backup player, he definitely isn’t in my best 22 at the club. For all the good things he does, he gives it straight back just as much.
I would bring back McIntosh and Townsend for Conca and Vlastuin this week. Both hard nuts that don’t get heaps of footy, but neither do our 3 Amigos. But they all play their rolls. We now out muscle sides which is something I can not ever think we have done. Let’s not give sides an inch when it comes to heat at the footy and the man.
Vlastuin missing a week isn’t the end of the world either, just another nice little freshener leading into the last part of the season. Next week when available I would be looking at Higgins as the unlucky one.
Just my opinion.
