Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

I'm actually happy this has happened, it's a sign a respect for Reece that he's been sought after. It's a bigger sign of confidence in his future than any media praise.

There may also be an element of return fire for us kicking the tires on Gaff last year.

Either way WCE can't get him without paying full value or over.

Yeah, it's a good thing. They won't get him without paying overs.

It’s a bit strange anyway . What they really need is outside speed/spread, not another player who plays well inside. Ellis, Grigg, even Matt White seem to offer better fit for purpose.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Gaff had an up and down year with a couple of stinkers this season. If in the unlikely event Conca gets traded I would be asking for more than Gaff.

Conca has has some good consistency this year.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Last thing I want to see is Conca leaving, hope he stays forever but if the offer is to good, he makes heaps of $$$$ and the chance to go home, how does this 3 way trade sound -

Conca to WC
Brown and 2nd Rounder to StKilda
J Stevens to us

Think WC wanted a first-rounder for Brown. And I don't see the Saints willingly trading Steven.

Conca + something = Darling, but I doubt Darling would be on the table or want to leave.

No thanks. I'll keep Conca. Extractors are more valuable than pacey Steven types imo. Besides Concs has more love to offer ;)

Parrot spins a negative Tigers story?

I guess we're playing North this weekend.

Yep.

It's known as the Emma Quayle syndrome.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I agree with everyone re my trade scenario and I would much, much, much rather keep Conca but I looked at it this way.

If Conca gets a ripper deal that is to good to pass up, you dont blame him for possibly heading home.
Saints desperately wanted Brown last year and they still do from what Ive heard, WC position is weakened by the fact he is out of contract so they will have to throw in their 2nd rounder as well if they want Conca. Saints will end up with 3 picks picks possibly inside the top 25 and Brown.
J Stevens to us and watch him improve out of sight, he is tagged almost every week at the moment but wouldnt even see i tag at the Tigers, maybe the saints can throw in their 3rd rounder as well.

My hope is all of the above is complete shyt as I dont want Conca to go anywhere.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Not going home. Is very settled here with his GF (and i think bought a house) Also his brother has moved here and is playing local footy for Surrey Park. Apparently he loves it here.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Replace Stevens with McEvoy and we might have a look. Conca pick 6 and McEvoy pick 5. Saints would want more than Brown for McEvoy

Brown is 24 years old and has managed 61 games in 7 seasons of AFL, 1st round pick not realistic
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Don't sell Gaff short. Different players with different skill sets but Andrew Gaff will be a star. And so will Conca. I like the way Reece is going but let's keep some perspective.

If Darling was offered, I would do it.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Conca is quickly becoming everything fj said he would and more

A genuine inside outside midfielder that is tough and shows leadership

And a perfect addition to our diamond studded midfield

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Have a feeling he'll go berko tonight. High 30s like Ellis earlier in the year.

Just a little nugget of ball winning hardness.

Release the conc!

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

David King loves this bloke (as I do). King said the other night Concs would be our 2nd best mid.
