As a high draft investment for Richmond i hope and pray conca will be good for the club and lead us back into the finals. Not to jump to conlcusions after watching 2 games but would heppell of been a better choice for the club? Conca may be a star but early he looks to be a battling back pocket/half back flanker where as heppell seems set to blossom as an on ball/half back star. Its only early but could this play out to be similar to the ludacratic tambling vs buddy affair?? I hope and pray not but all opinions would be fantastic :D

Heppell was a far better player. He was destined to go top 5 certainly. But a rumor started up about an injury which scared off teams. Slipped to Essendon and glad we pounced! I would have been happy with Atley but to get Heppell was just ;D.

Conca was picked well above where many expected him to go. Heppell is a ready made STAR but Conca needs some work. Playing Back Pocket isn't helping Conca though as I think he's more suited to a Half Back Flank.

Heppell is a much better player, unbiased. Conca will be a solid player (maybe grow into a star) but just needs a little persistence in him.
