I think the "plumber" is definitely a chance for RD 1, injuries aside of course...

Riewoldt "twitted" that Concas nick name is "plumber" so plumber it is folks...

Jack actually said it's plummer, not plumber. Then in the next tweet called for suggestions.

Was speaking to the father of a lad who played alongside Conca in the wafl.On asking his opinion of Reece he gave one of those reassuring smiles and simply stated youve got a beauty there is a very good footballer 8)

Leysy's spruikin Reece up like he was his very own junior, which has me wondering if Leysy's got any lads of his own nearing the interesting footy age.


Just hit me with the perfect nickname for young Conca while I was fiddling around.

Gotta be Rice as in the old advertising favourite RICE A REECE O

Oh sh!t....I just realised who he reminds me of Boomer Harvey :help

To me he looks like a polished updated amalgam of Rob Wiley, Mark Mercuri and Joe Misiti with a bit of Strawbs (O Dwyer) on top.

Wiley had that ability to slide in to a contest and escape on his feet. Mercuri the continuous movement forward and the ability to find the best target by foot either short, mid and sometimes long distance and Misiti also had that inside out pass on the right that usually found a target.

Chick Strawbs 'conca' on top.

Robert Wiley was just about the best finisher I have seen as well , hence his nickname radar . We could do with one of those up forward , someone who invariably kicked goals when in the position to do so .

Boomer is a star footballer...I dont like him though :)
Only because he plays for the Kangas. If he played for the Tiges you'd happily offer to share you're KFC bucket with him.

There are very few things I will not do in my life, and eat out of a bucket is one of them. :p

Tantalising combination there lambsfry. Defo some Mercurial like similarities. The ability to hit the ball at pace and execute cleanly is a rare trait indeed.
Like others I see some of a young Cuz in young Conc.

I'm excited to see how he goes..

Fingers crossed he survives being a "pick 6".
