[Socrates2]

What sort of compo draft pick will we get for Conca?

Nothing because Lynch outweighs Conca?

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Having a look at his career so far, apart from 2015-2017 he's been a really good pick up

What happened in 2015 though? he didnt play a game until round 18

Hammy issues most of the year.

Best bit for him is its been a long time since he's had a soft tissue injury. He will play plenty at freo

Conca reminds me of one of those little ponies that follows a champion race horse to the races for company.

This bizarre post requires further explanation please.......
You saying Conca's a shit truck who gets carried by the likes of Dusty?

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Of course we can let em all go losing em changes very little.
Lets say all of C Ellis, B Ellis, Drummond, Lloyd, Miles, and Conca are all mids.I dont believe they all are as it is And they all go.
It still leaves Martin, Cotchin, Prestia, Lambert, Edwards, Higgins, Grigg, Graham, Baker, Menadue Caddy and McIntosh.

Theres also a few small fwds like Rioli Butler who we would be looking to get midfield time into.

Weather the 6 stay or go we lack a big inside mid, We lack a quality speedy outside running mid and we lack another quality clearance player we need to address these things and its something the 6 going cant provide.

Get three mids in and we dont lack numbers but still lack quality. we need three very good mids not a whole pile of battlers.

You can't have a full deck of aces. The highlighted are the only pair you've mentioned that aren't starters and will have to step in to replace an injured Martin or Cotchin should we lose all the blokes above. Not a good look.
Where do we find these 3 gun midfielders that are better than Conca, Lloyd and B Ellis that are willing to play for peanuts, cus that's all we've got in our cap. Would love to see a realistic list of your targets there.

We can do better then him a recruit from the state leagues or draft a kid..Can walk for me. Like I said Conca good gets undone double by his bad.

 

[peternorth]

I hope Bellis stays now that conca will go. if he goes.

Conca is ideal for Freo and as RFC is an egalitarian club we are happy to let him go. Equalisation.

Started off the season horribly, played some pretty good games, gets injured and comes back average. I can understand why most won't mind seeing him go, but reckon Freo might see the best if he can get a good run at it. Seems to me with Reece it is all between the ears.

Time for conca to go. More worried about loydd and ellis.

Not gonna sh.tcan conca cause he is a good defensive mid good luck to him .Higgins will take his spot in the middle and be far more dynamic and better anyway

 

[theflea]

It would be foolish of us to match four years and if he accepts, which seems very likely, then we will get nothing for him as well. Just have to suck it up and let him walk.

He is a UFA so we don't have the option to match, he just has to make up his mind.

 

[Tforce]

If he leaves, he leaves. No skin.

 

[RichoRocks2006]

Hope he stays but if i were him and there is any truth to Freo offering 4 yeard i couldn't say no. Seems to be the most popular of the potential outs this off season, starting to worry out the impact on team cohesion

 

[parmy2balmey]

he knocked the dockers back last time they came for him

don’t look a gift horse in the mouth twice bro

but i won’t be upset if he sticks fat

More that we don’t up our offer to compete with Freos as think he’d rather stay if we matched years. He’s a average wage player for his age to me and I’d rather see that money go back into the pool.

yep agree.

 

[sandeano]

You'd follow the progress of this bloke and keep thinking "Once he's injury free he'll come good" and the next thing you know he's 26 and in his supposed prime but still not quite cutting it. Seems a good bloke, is well liked by his peers but will never be the star hoped for when drafted. Good luck out west, old chap.

 

[Hank Heavenly]

AFL twitter handled just said Conca signed at Freo

Good luck Lasagne Man!

[Equus]

Farewell Conca. All the best at Freo.

 

[HTT]

We are getting pillaged by FA. When will the AFL step in and stop big, powerful clubs like Freo picking the carcass of small strugglers like Richmond?

 

[Daffytrain]

Goodluck Reece.

 

[TigerTime_89]

All the best for the future, mate.
