Saturday’s Riverina League grand final is likely to be Conroy’s final game in Crows colours after spending the past three years travelling home from Canberra to play for his beloved Leeton-Whitton.

The 34-year-old has been sensational in his three seasons back at Leeton and would love to complete a decorated football career with a premiership.

“It probably caps the career, really,” Conroy said.

“I left when I was a kid, saw the club go through some tough times, the transition from the Redlegs to the Crows and saw the club build a bit of success in the late 90s, early 2000s and then I left.

“So to come back, there is still a lot of people involved that was here when I was here so it would be really good for the town and the support staff and a bit of a monkey off the back for the whole club, I think, to break a pretty long-drought now.

“It would be a fitting way to come back and finish off the back end of the career at the home town and give them something they haven’t really achieved in so long.”

Conroy knows what is takes to win a premiership. He enjoyed flags at Sandringham in 2004 and Queanbeyan in 2012 and believes the Crows are capable of downing Collingullie-Glenfield Park on Saturday.

“If we can play our best, I think we can get the job done,” he said.

“Obviously Collingullie have been the benchmark all year and they have got some quality all over the paddock but we’ve found that our best is good enough and we’ve beaten them twice.

“You don’t want to be too confident but you have got to have confidence in your ability to go out there and execute and I think if we can play to our potential then I think we can give it a red hot shake and hopefully come away with another win.”

Conroy understands he has an important role to play in the midfield for the Crows on Saturday. He believes the club’s midfield depth holds them in good stead for the all-important battle against the Demons, who boast the likes of Jayden Klemke, Steve Jolliffe and Matt Beckmans.

“I think we’ve got more depth through the midfield this year than we probably had in the last couple of years. We haven’t been reliant on just the one or two,” he said.

“Pup’s (Bryce O’Garey) played some really good footy, I’ve had some good games but we haven’t relied on that one or two players all the time. 

“We’ve got Curls (Ben Curley) who can go through there, Jimmy Nancarrow, Matty Rainbird, we’ve probably got a bit more depth of talent to come through there and it allows some of us to get forward a little bit more and stay dangerous and add a little bit more depth to a few areas. That’s probably been one of our strengths this year.”

Conroy is confident the Crows’ have timed their run this season perfectly.

“We were a little bit patchy, a little bit inconsistent through different stages, it took us a while to find out our best 22 and where we all fit,” he said.

“We probably introduced a lot more new guys than we probably expected but it’s worked out. We seem to be putting it all together at the right time of year, which is good.”
