Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I believe Conca needs a spell but he did lift in the the 4th quarter.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Sorry Jack, I think i've completely missed your point. You were questioning why players needed a rest because they didn't seem to 20 years ago. I thought it naive
to make the comparison between the fitness needs of players today, especially given the advances in sports science.. You came back with some guff about it being no more tiring than it was 20 years ago, how you came to that conclusion is beyond me. You've then gone on to talk about marathon running and skills - not quite sure why, I merely thought you were taking a very simplistic look at something that is very scientific and measured.
I'm sure the fitness staff at the club will do whatever is in the best interests of Conca (and any other player on the list for that matter).

It doesnt matter if some supporters think he's tired and needs a rest.
I'm sure the Richmond coaching & fitness staff are in a much better position to decide!

Not bad if the stats quoted are accurate, but it doesn't look like they are.

Wouldn't use Pro Stats. There's major discrepancies between their stats and Champion Data's. Champion Data is the main stat provider for the AFL if I'm not mistaken. They had Conca credited with 3 clearances against Brisbane - equal 4th for us.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Fair enough there BCL....we'll agree to disagree on certain aspects of the past & present, thats no problem in the least, pretty irrelavant anyway.
The topic was about Conco needing a rest or not and whether fatigue or form was a reason that he could be looking at a spell.
If the kid is fatigued then by all means rest him if it is in his best interests for the future, but don't drop him and play him at Coburg, that makes no sense whatsoever and sets back any progress he has made on a heap of levels.
Even at 50% this kid shows more than anyone of the duds at Coburg that will be up for a week, and down again within 2, so why bother ?
p.s....good job with "naive" also..... :fing32

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
funny, a couple of gold coast boys are having a "rest". their medical team must have decided there WAS fatigue. batchelor was out last week for 'soreness' while crameri for the dons, and vardy for the cats, both 1st year players are out this week with 'soreness'.
you seem to be denying young players may be benefitted by weeks off, clearly at least 1 afl club, and its professional medical and training team, disagree with you.
