He is no Robbie flower disposal wise, but when we are getting beaten and out worked, his clangers will stand out more.

Well he stood out more because he had by far the most clangers and the most turnovers in the team. It is rare for a player to lead both those stats in the one game. Only other time this year was Prestia (for all the love he gets he does turn it over a lot). Additionally the 10 turnovers is the most by a Richmond player in one game all season. The leader for turnovers per game for the Tiges is Prestia with 5.25 per game, so 10 is significantly more. You tend to get noticed. First half was deplorable (where he accumulated most of those clangers and turnovers). Was much better in the 2nd half and he did do a lot of the hard inside work, you have to give him that.

The last time a Tiger had 10 turnovers was Round 21 last year, B Ellis. Before that was Round 17 last year Dusty Martin but he had 40 disposals that day.

Which player from last year made way for him into the team?

Probably Prestia

Round 1 we had 4 changes to GF team:

Out: Rioli, Prestia, Houli, Broad

In: Bolton, Conca, Short, Cellis

Dunno. Probably a better question right now is if theoretically Houli, Prestia, Rioli, Martin, Graham come back next game who goes out from last game. You'd have to say Menadue, Miles, B Ellis for sure. To me it leaves Higgins, Graham, Moore, McIntosh, Conca, Grigg maybe one of Butler & Castagna fighting it out for the remaining spots.

I was about 5 meters away when he took a huge hit in the VFL prelim last year. Just like you said, he just got straight up and took his kick like it was nothing.

Good game from Concs. We need his big body in the middle.

Turnovers early were woeful. Lucky the team were able to absorve.
I saw you one. Some here love to overstate things when it comes to Conca.

He had a very good game today. His inside work was elite.

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

Plenty of honest hard work by Reecey the Concareter again today. The beauty of this is that when Reecey, Lamblett, Presty etc put in their two cents worth. Blokes like Cotch n Dusty don't have to smash every game they play. We have an amazing overall team contribution going on again this year without actually looking like we're in peak form. Gawd help opposition sides if we get it all to click at the same time.
