A massive flop..Reece Conca still has a lot to prove and so far has been a massive flop.
I was rapt to find that out as well.Averaged 5 tackles a game in the TAC combined with his other elite traits and footy magic and he could play much sooner than expected.
I was worried he didnt have a strong defensive game like most U18's but those tackle numbers are very impressive from a small forward.
He was a pick six and would struggle to get in to the top 30 of his draft if it was redone, he has barely strung a season together and is one of the least durable players on our list, he has many deficiencies in his game and he was taken before a superstar and future captain in Dyson Heppell. So yeah, massive flop sounds about right to me. As I said he still has a lot to prove and has time on his side but has so far been a disappointment. Feel free to convince me otherwise.A massive flop..
You're just making this up.Have you to say he's any good?
That video footage isn't highlights, its every touch he had in those games, both good and bad
Watching a full game to see when he doesn't get the ball isn't much use now is it?
If he had played a handful of games and been spat out of the system then yes that would equate to being a massive flop.He was a pick six and would struggle to get in to the top 30 of his draft if it was redone, he has barely strung a season together and is one of the least durable players on our list, he has many deficiencies in his game and he was taken before a superstar and future captain in Dyson Heppell.

We really need to stop dissing selections compared to other players we could have taken, its a pointless waste of energy and yes, hindsight is often a bitch.He was a pick six and would struggle to get in to the top 30 of his draft if it was redone, he has barely strung a season together and is one of the least durable players on our list, he has many deficiencies in his game and he was taken before a superstar and future captain in Dyson Heppell.

Wait a minute. I'm not just liking your post, I'm re-posting it.Can't wait to see the tricks he, Martin, Yazz and Edwards pull out on the field. I think they'll all make each other better.
If you're satisfied with his output as a pick six so far then I guess you've got lower expectations of players than I do and there's no way we'll ever see eye to eye with this one. I feel as though he has accomplished absolutely nothing at Richmond, has barely fulfilled any of his potential and if he continues struggling on the route that he's on at the moment he will end up being delisted or traded for peanuts in a couple of years time. He would need to have a drastic turnaround for me to change my opinion of him because at the rate he's going he will be at best a fringe player in a couple of years time. Anyway, I've derailed the thread with my comment so let's get back on track with it.If he had played a handful of games and been spat out of the system then yes that would equate to being a massive flop.
Yep he's been cruelled by injuries and if redrafted again he wouldn't be top ten but that does not make one a massive flop.
Poor old JON was a massive flop.
Mitch Thorp at Hawthorn was a massive flop.
Out of Concas draft you could say Lucas Cook was a flop at 12.
And that's just if you get all twisted about what number someone is drafted at.
Personally once they walk through the door they are all the same number to me.
Sorry but it's just starting to really get at me the way things get so overstated to try to make a point.
Everyone on here is screaming out for a premiership.
Club wins premiership.
People on here not happy we let in 4 junk time goals to only win by 40 pts and see it as a bad sign for the future.
Reece Conca still has a lot to prove and so far has been a massive flop.
And I think that's going too far, but each to their own. Let's just hope he has a solid preseason and can build on that.If RFC wins the premiership in 2016, there will definitely be people on here who are not satisfied with that.
He's had some injuries that have stuffed him around a bit, since that hammy in the 2013 final, but prior to that, he was well on track to fulfilling his potential and becoming an elite player for us.
I won't lie, out of all our recent picks, he's the one on shakiest ground at the moment due to that stagnation since that final, however I think calling him a "massive flop" is going too far the other way with that one.
His best still has him in our Best 10-12 players imo.
Wait a minute. I'm not just liking your post, I'm re-posting it.
I'm just picturing this forward line
Martin, Yarran, Edwards, Rioli.
Just stop for a moment and imagine what this looks like
.... and what each can do when the magic starts
.... and what they might do in combination
Four players with X-factor, and let's not forget Riewoldt ... and Deledio playing forward
I think I'll buy 2 memberships this year.
Good on you for having the balls to state your position on him.I rated him as the 35th best player in the draft. Yes we needed speed- But IMO we reached at 12.
No point complaining, I'll back FJ and team in and let's hope he develops into a fine player
Show us your list.
We picked Jon based on video highlights 10 years ago, I'm going to back the guys who do this for a living and have tracked this kids years out rather then a bloke on bigfooty who has watched a few video highlights.Have you to say he's any good?
