Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
A very informative interview http://www.richmondfc.com.au/roar%20vision%20archive/tabid/11454/contentid/314631/default.aspx with FJ at the ND, describes Conca as a Hybrid Mid.
Around the 3:20 minute mark of this interview he mentions that Conca came under our radar in the Under 16's. Did I hear that correctly because it was a little unclear.

Thanks Disco.
No body can doubt that FJ doesn't do his homework.

Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I think the change of strategy has been kicking skills, I think they have implemented their own kicking profiles to assess the kids
I guess that this is why there has been a few from 'left field'
IIRC with Astbury, Burgatron (who had very good inside goss) had us taking Astbury with our last pick so we all went with that
I was surprised when he was read out at 35 but looking back (good old hindsight) we all can see why, around 194cm, can play back and forward, smart footballer, came equal 2nd in the first kicking test (very good for a tall), leadership
Also I think it is good the recruiting team taking kids who they want and who fit with the team rather than taking players who slide but might not fit our structures
Obviously there are exceptions to this rule but on the whole players slide for a reason and only really slide in the eyes of those who are not recruiters if you get what i mean
Anyway there has been some 'left field' picks this year (left field compared to popular opinion) and we will all wait with anticipation to see how the 2010 batch go
Bring on 2011

Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Has very nice balance does the Squirrel, like SuperJoel Bowden; makes good choices and hits his targets, like SuperJoel. I suspect we're going to be very happy with the Squirrel.Col.W.Kurtz said:

Squirrel Conca, in 8 mins of video highlights, shows more football ability in his big toenail than Daniel Jackson has in his entire body, in over 6 years of footy. And for that matter, Roundabouts Bowden as well.

:hihi Is Jackson the new whipping boy? I know where you're coming from, Conca will be telling his family & friends the toughness Jackson shows in the scrimages and the way he sacrifices his body for the team.

Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Where possible with a player (i.e they havent come onto the scene late) all clubs track players back to under 16's or earlier.

Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
yep.Hence why it was a sound decision not to use the Compo pick in this year or next years draft.Navy Days said:
Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Yeah navy's on the fence with the compo pick.
Could see reason in the arguments for & against using it. At a push would probably have kept it.
Interesting that FJ said Darling or Lycett are the two we had in the gun for 30, so would obviously also have been who we would have chose between for that compo pick.
Time will tell how it pans out. Lycett has a lot of ability.

Re: Pick 6: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Happy we shelved the compo pick if we would have used it on Lycett. A lot of ability yes, but rucks are for rookieing. Pick 20-odd in 2012 will be a jet. Tapscott, Fyfe, Bastinac went 19, 20, 21 last year. A Fyfe in 2012 thanks.
