The negating defender is supposed to be Conca's role.
But there's another thing Fremantle are champions at. Recruiting once good players, usually from W.A. and sending their career backwards or stalled. EG. Conca, Wilson, Acres, Aish, Lobb? McCarthy, Hogan.
We're also good at recruiting players with an injury history and doing little or nothing to turn that around. eg. Valente, Sturt, Switkowski, Bennell
Plus of course we excel at having so many players with recurring, long term or TBA injuries. eg. Pearce, Hill, Hamling, Valente, Sturt, Logue, Tucker
