Richmond midfielder Reece Conca will reach the AFL 100-game milestone in tonight’s big Round 15 clash with Sydney at Etihad Stadium.

It’s a significant milestone for Conca, who endured a horror injury run for several seasons up until this year.

After being taken by the Tigers with their first pick (No. 6 overall) in the 2010 national draft, and then playing 71 games throughout his first four seasons of league football, Conca managed only 15 of a possible 70 matches from 2015-17.

This season, however, he’s played every game so far and has clearly benefitted from that long-awaited continuity with his football.

Conca is averaging 19.9 disposals per game and he’s ranked 18^th in the competition for tackles.

At the midway mark of season 2018, he features in seven of 20 key statistical categories among the Richmond playing group.
