Tom Bell v Reece Conca

[Ashton Agar]

Which is a better player?

 

[ThisIsJake]

Well Bell has barely played any consistent footy in his career yet and Conca has played 16+ games in all seasons since being drafted.

Conca has better numbers and better job security. If you were asking who will be a better player then it's open for debate(still Conca for me) but Conca convincingly at this point.

Absolute star. Tough nut. Hard at it. My absolute favorite player!

Yeah that's why I made the poll. Both dirty players.

What Tom Bell does is legal. Reece Conca tried to kinghit a bloke.

[Engimal]

Bell, easily.

 

[Heaps of fun]

BALLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Both thugs!

But still a better player than Bell. No star though just a good 5th or 6th midfielder.

A gif of Conca breaking the AFL rules?

 

[Ashton Agar]

Run too far???

 

[Daz]

Bell would be a hell of a player if he could kick. But he can't, so Conca.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Bell

Run too far???

It doesn't look quite like 15 metres but if you were at the game you'd definitely be yelling BALLLLLLLLL!

Yeah that's why I made the poll. Both dirty players.

Both thugs!

You clearly don't know much about this dear game of ours. Tom Bell plays the physical side of our game the way it's meant to be played. Just shaking my head that anyone would call him a thug or dirty. What a dolt!

 

[Monkey King]

As for the Poll, Conca would take it right now, but Bell has some raw tools that could easily see him go passed Conca in future. The fact that Bell hasn't come through the same elite junior system and only got drafted at 20yo, gives me the idea he's got a bit more improvement in him.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Now I will say Conca but I think Bell will be better over their respective careers.

Running and flooring a player who doesn't even have the ball isn't what I would call decent play.

Harden up ya marshmallow. A player is fully entitled to lay a hard sheppard. It's a completely acceptable part of football; indeed it was encouraged in my playing days. If you don't like it, piss off and watch another game, but don't get all uppity and go calling a player dirty or a thug for performing a perfectly acceptable act.

 

[Silvagnis]

Would we trade Bell for Conca?

Yes.

Would Richmond trade Conca for Bell?

No

Conca.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Bell's a bit rough around the edges but I'd be surprised if Conca was anything more than average (and my opinion has not always been that).

 

[PP34]

Both thugs!

If going hard for the ball is now considered thuggery then I fear for the future of the game when people like you support it.

 

[TheFVK]

I voted Tom Bell, but I've honestly never heard of the guy. Assuming he's Carlton's version of Matt Thomas

The most intelligent reason Ive ever heard for voting for someone.
