Reece Conca

[The Falcon Strike]

Pick 6 is just currency to get talent on the list. In 2010 that currency was enough to secure Conca.

Given Conca has developed nicely, securing Conca with pick 6 would be the par result compared with taking the pick to the draft.

Obviously if we could get him for 24 that would be great, but would we accept that? I'd imagine a pick 6 downgrade would be a part of any deal.

We had to accept it for Ebert?

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

I wouldnt be against trading 6 and 24 for Conca and 11. Hopefully 1 of Sheed, Bontempelli, Freeman and possibly Acres if we were to reach are available

 

[Coledinho]

Id offer them 25 + Rosa or we pick him up in the PSD

We have the most salary cap room in the comp outside of GWS. If we circumnavigate GWS in the PSD (which will be fairly easy given they ignored a much better player in Tippett last year) we can just nab him for free by outbidding those before us.

Well we didn't have to accept it, but we did. We should have gotten far more than 28.

And given that Conca is best 22 in a finals side and we didn't consider Ebert to be so - objectively you would think Conca would have more value.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to secure him for 24 plus Rosa - but it just isn't going to happen IMO.

Is there any news on his Hammy? being that it happened 3 days ago you would think they would know what the go is?

It will happen.

Richmond are in too bad a spot here.

We dont want Conca because he is mindblowingly awesome. We want him because they cant afford him and we can get him for cheap. The best thing we have to offer Richmond is salary cap room and that is what Rosa would represent. Lump his salary onto our space for next year and it does them more good then any extra 2nd rounder could do

Good idea

 

[lewigie]

Isn't he under contract?

 

[Coledinho]

Good idea

Hell no

Pick 6 is untradeable.

Richmond can either deal with it or let him go into the PSD when we would be a better then 50% chance of picking him up anyway

Robbo has something interesting to say on this topic.

Conca was on WC's radar back in 2010 but it's my understanding that he fell into their 10-15 category. Whilst I haven't followed Richmond that closely since, there seems no evidence to suggest he's moved out of this range either up or down. Combine that with the fact that he's OOC, then I would suggest his "value" to WC would be in the 15-20 range, meaning #24 is probably slightly on the "unders" side of fair.

Knowing WC, #6 and #24 for Conca and #11 would be the fairest for both parties.

However : from my discussions with certain people within WC, they are unlikely to trade out their 1st round pick this year - so they obviously have someone in mind whom they believe will go top 10. It makes a trade for Conca unlikely unless its on WC's terms.

 

[LordHaart]

Good to hear, I hope we stick with #6.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Any idea who is wanting out?

 

[pantskyle]

No way should we trade pick 6 for Conca.

There was a suggestion not long ago that Sinclair wanted to go somewhere for more opportunities. Richmond would be perfect for him, they've got almost no backup for Maric apart from an aging (and limited) Stephenson.

Would 24 + Sinclair be enough for Conca?

That's a good deal, I suggest they take it.

 

[kerrazy]

Can we somehow send that metrosexual looking ash smith off in this deal? Really want him out of WC.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

If the rumours about Collingwood making a play for Martin are true - that bodes well for us.

The tiggers won't want to let Martin go, so if they have to up their offer for him, that reduces what they have available for Conca.

This would be our best case scenario, -
Ive heard on talking footy last night that Richmond have approached AFL for a "special part allowance" for Cochin to be paid outside the cap for a "mentoring role".
This is would be a slap in the face if the AFL fell for this .
They are obviously trying to get their stars under the cap.
Conga 's old man is an Eagles man, hes related to my best mate and hes told me they have had a good chat with their son about coming home, but hes loving it at Richmond ATM so I don't know if it will happen .
Time will tell,but the club and stadium been built near his family roots may actually help get him home.

I would have been able to deal with a pick 6+ for Conca and Richmonds first round pre-injury. However serious hamstring injuries not only are difficult and lengthy injuries to recover from, but also historically shorten careers.

So, the severity of his injury I think is now a key determining factor.

 

[lmach]

I'd rather use our 2nd round pick and see if we can target Shane Savage.
I believe he'd offer more of what we need at the moment.

Don't want Savage, just another turnover merchant.

Nah.

I thought that was Martin and related to working with an indigenous mentoring organisation, (not mentoring other players at the club).
