Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I agree with Rosy. If it was an off-field thing,no way they would take him to Adelaide. There really is no sensible reason behind it all
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Has quietly snuck back in to the side. More than capable of having a say in the outcome of this game.

Probably rested him, we forget he's 19.
I like him back in the side.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

It could be considered to be more of a punishment to not give him a game in the 1's or 2's; and to takie him to Adelaide where he could be kept an eye on, and perhaps given a bit more of an earful - than if they gave him an easy game at Coburg where he could go out and have a beer afterwards. If that was the case; he would have probably been told "sure, you are the emergency - because you are not getting a game this week unless it is an emergency!".

That said; I would't have a clue why it was done. I am just saying the fact that he was taken to Adelaide doen't rule out the possibility that he was being punished.

I hope he goes really well this week and from now on.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

If he ever wanted to bob up with 25 touches and 2 goals, tomorrow is the day.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

We need him up and running tomorrow. Having the spell last week should mean he runs out the game well.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

First half for Reece has been awful. Hopefully will improve - at present he did not warrant his draft position.

What was so bad about him?
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

8 clearances and 6 tackles is a good effort from Conca. Decent, not outstanding game.
He got a lot more time in the middle this week and made the most of his chance.

Was much better. And better at the actual contest. Didn’t play one out and one back on the outside.

Needs to play that role the rest of the year. Basically the Foley role.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Yep. Good to see Concs in the middle. Hopefully he stays there.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

He is a natural midfielder and was it shown today. Not massive stats but applied enough support to Cotchin and Deledio.

Yeah I agree.. Thought he actually provided a calming influence on the mids today.. Kept a very cool head all day, thought he played a good game..
