FHO!

Get what we can for him and try to forget we ever wasted pick 6 on him.

He represents everything this club used to be. 💩

Time to flush out the remainder of the poo out of the club.

After last night, he can go

Was terrible

But in fairness... he wasn't alone

Trent, Grimes, Rance and Jack were the only players who looked like they put in.

Should we talk about how pathetic George was and is :shh

We got smashed last night and yes we will have player changes at the Club. I hope they make the right decisions and should Conca be one of them, I will back in the Club to make the right calls. Astbury couldn't run out the team warm up last night and should never have played. Dusty was sore and Nank got a major lesson from the best ruck in the comp. Lynch will be huge for us next year as we definitely need the extra tall forward. We got the chocolates last year playing Grigg as the second ruck but this must change next year as it was evident last night it cant work moving forward. We need a few more pure mids with grunt.

Bring on the trade period, draft and 2019 :gotigers

Agreed regarding lynch, is it really that done of a deal?
Need him badly, but he will have to be ready to give a decent chop out in the ruck.
For me, as someone else has posted, Conca just represents everything we used to be. Last night his play gave me flashbacks to the finals against port and north. I know he wasn't alone. He is just expendable, we have plenty of his type. Castagna butler and rioli are our small forward trio, they gel.. but they barely got to play together this year.
We then have Bolton, stengle, higgins ( who is a must keep imo ) and baker.. will be some moves this off season.

Simon who are these Conca replacements you say we have plenty of?

I am not suggesting that Conca played well but the reason he was in the team was that we don't have many contested ball players.

Trent, Grimes, Rance and Jack were the only players who looked like they put in.

You call conca a contested player ? More often than not when he gets it he panics and rushes a kick or gives it to a teammate under more pressure.
We we have jack graham who is developing nicely, we have higgins who is already better than conca, markov had a down season due to injury but has showed some promise. We know what conca offers and it isnt good enough. Atleast those 3 above have some upside and improvement to come and can play concas role.

I would try and shaft Brisbane with the Lachie Neale deal from freo. We could offer up Conca, Broad and our 1st pick for Lachie Neale.
Lachie would be a good inclusion into our midfield and he is half way out the door at Freo. Right age for us as well. Mid 20s would go
straight into our midfield.

He is exactly what we need Ramps if as reported we have Lynch.

Can’t see our first doing the job, nor the players you mentioned

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I thought about this today. Collingwood bat deeper into their midfield and we need to be able to combat that. Lachie Neale would be perfect and he has played good footy at the MCG. We should target now if we can find salary cap room.
