Reece Conca

[Coaster2012]

According to Damien Barrett WCE have made a sizeable offer to Reece Conca from Richmond . 20 year old midfielder, probably exactly what we need.

Expect Richmond to announce tomorrow that conca has just signed a new 3 year deal

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Good player, I'd have him.

Probably just got the names wrong, to protect the innocent...... Has Barrett ever been right about anything?

 

[dajesmac]

My guess is it's being milked to ensure he gets a bigger contract from the Tigers.

 

[Coaster2012]

I also hear Harry Obrien has fallen out with Buckley. Lets bring him home too

Trade for O'Brien and bring in Kirk as our new coach. Imagine the team meetings.

Someone on here said they're friends with Conca's grandma and that west coast had offered him a sizeable contract, but she wasn't positive. Good reporting by Barrett.

O'Brien: Did you know I was held at gun point?

Kirk: Were you? Or was the gun held at Harry point?

O'Brien and Kirk: Whoooaaaaaa....

Kirk: I'll get the schwag.

O'Brien: I'll be in my thinking chair.

Conca would require our first round pick. I'd rather Dom Sheed.

Mitch Brown and our second-rounder?

Rance, Chaplin, Grimes etc. Don't think they need Brown that much.

Me too! 2 X Conca.

From a Richmond supporter's perspective, Conca is absolute gold.

The vast majority of us rate him in the top two/three best of his draft year. We wouldn't bother with players like Brown or picks lower than first round. For a straight swap, we'd probably expect the quality of a Gaff/Darling because that's the same value we put on Conca.

That said, word is that he's really happy in Melbourne so I doubt this will go any further.

Admittedly I don't think that poster said mentioned it being a large contract. I think the part about Conca seriously having to consider it was purely from Barrett. Could be wrong though.

Let's hope it goes no further and then both camps will be happy.

Although I did get a laugh...Darling... for Conca.

Might not go further, but it will keep going until he signs. But I agree on the value you put on his head. I see a fair few Tigers games and that's fair enough.

 

[Dark Sharks]

He definitely isn't "exactly what we need" like someone mentioned above.

Technically he's a rich mans Cripps. What Cripps was supposed to turn into at west coast.

On another note.. do people honestly think it's even worth talking about Dom Sheed?
He'll be top 5 for sure, and we'll get pick 10 or something, be another case of "just missing out on a gun"

Don't see what you see, so I too hope it goes no further. All I see is a player who butchers the ball a lot. I'd take him if the cost wasn't high but absolutely not for one of our young guns nor would I want to trade this years rd 1 draft pick.

That's a bit harsh. Conca would slot into our best 22 at the moment.

So what does that say about the potato's on OUR team right now?

Yes he would get into our best 22, but we need someone better than that. You said yourself that he's "a rich man's Cripps".

We'll have pick 7 or 8.

 

[Big Cox 88]

We'll have pick 7 or 8.

Time to play Glass at full forward, Masten at full back and EMac in the middle. Nic Nat may have some general soreness so we can use McGinnity in the ruck.

lower I suspect.

And I don't think Sheed is a guarantee for top 5, I think that is BF hype. Perfectly reasonable that he might last to us and if he doesn't there are quality alternatives.

 

[The Passenger]

he's a real good player. don't know if he is getting us that real top echelon midfielder we are looking for though?

still possible though. not many would've thought that about JK when he left for the swans.

in any case, the decision is "Is he better than what we've gotta give up for him, and are we getting value on his salary"? if it's yes, then we go for it.
