Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Are you talking about the time he went for a mark one-handed?

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Second year kids sometimes going to be a touch uncertain or perhaps unfocused during moments in games, will just cause a momentary flicker in their momentum while thought processes click into gear.
Reckon just about every player thats pulled on a boot has the odd dodgy moment or two. Some occaisionally manage to commit the unforgivable reflex howler.
Heard the media comments and watched for it on the replay. Think timids a bit harsh.SCOOP said:

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Judging by two of the decisions they do.
2nd term he's penalised for throwing an opponent to the groud who had possession when he was tackled but released it illegally (hard for the tackler to tell if the opponent is still in possession.
Then in the last term, 30m out from goal. High ball comes in, Conca doesn't even take possession and is slung to the ground with more force than the prior incident, but is there a whistle? I guess like the Morris head high tackle, a few minutes later, we wouldn't wantto pay anything in kicking range would we?

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I think a lot of players,especially early in their careers, have those moments where they could have gone harder which they probably regret. There have been many times where Conca has gone in pretty hard too, So I don't believe he is timid. I do think he is a bit down on form, but that is pretty common for a second year player (Batchelor is the same ATM)

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
This Conca heppell thing is just weird. You'd think Heppell was Ablett and Conca was Hernaman. Can we pass the hat around for a PRE shrink?

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I think Heppell is well ahead of Conca at this point in time. If that's still the case in 5 years, then maybe we made a blue, but I think we were recruiting for needs and they saw Conca as meeting that need. Likely they will both end up being very good players. Elite? Who knows.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I kept a good eye on heppell in game against us, barely knew he was out there....well ahead would be a stretch, a nose perhaps, little in itYeahNah said:

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Conca in my opinion has more scope for improvement. Where as heppell's game at the moment is pretty sound in all areas.
In 3-4 years conca's best footy will be better than heppell's.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Almost none I would have thought. Richmond people would be the only supporter group that would be reasonably evenly divided. Which is either a reflection of the fact that unlike others they see Conca each week and have a true understanding of his worth and potential, or they just can't bring themselves to admit that the club might have made an error (as was the case with Tambling versus Franklin for quite a few seasons). I guess we'll know for certain in a couple of years which it really is?

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I find this obsession by some to compare players boring to be honest. We also have a thread comparing Martin with JettA and Rohan.
What's the point? I am interested in how good a Richmond player Reece Conca can be and Dustin Martin can be. I have no interest in Heppell, Jetta or Rohan unless we are trying to recruit them.

Heppell is a very talented footballer, but he plays loose man in defense. Easiest gig in town. Just ask Jason Cloke.
