Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I think you have to have played less than 10 games or be a first year player.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Yep, slowly we are getting a few of these. Think Helbig and Batchelor fit that mould too.
And Houli and Grigg help as well. Would be great to go in with 5 new names all bringing something to the table.
Just need Conca to run the correct patterns on the outside. Just multiple efforts in the one passage of play. Just do what you are good at. Nothing more nothing less.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Would love to know what the "correct patterns" should be. Just so I know what look out for during the game.SCOOP said:

Thank heavens were now using the hardwick patterns, previously we used Pro Hart models :hihi

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
The half back line is starting to take shape with some good runner and ball users sitting back there. Astbury will take time to develop into the key role, but has the potential to hold that spot down.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
OK, so being the prez of the squirrel, i thought i should give my synopsis.
i thought recce butchered the ball early. For beavis to say we are injecting skill with reece, i expected more. But thats what i expeected.
I thought conca really worked his way into the game well. his disposal got better as the game went on,but also did the positions he made, the way he backed into packs and his seconds efforts were good.
overall, i thought his first up effort was very good. if he goes forward from here, i will be a hppy man. stats posted below. (FWIW i thought chimp was an out and out champ tonight the way he worked HIS way back into the game).

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Think you're underselling him here or maybe it's just me. One of the better Richmond debuts of recent times IMO. Yeah, he didn't get a ton of the ball but the amount of times he was put under the pump by shocking decisions from teammates and work his way out of it was impressive. Great agility, good skills, great decision making. He has time with the ball. He had confidence to take the game on and make the play. You can just tell when a kid has "it" and he has it.
I was a big, big fan of Heppell but Conca just may win me over. Well done lad. It's not easy playing in the Richmond backline.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Thank god he was there to mark the errant passes of some of our other backline butchers.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I actually thought the backline overall was great considering they had more ball comming at them than a p*** actress

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Agree, thought he was very composed, time with the ball, not in a hurry and looking to find a gap to get out and move forward.
Showed some ticker tonight too, went back with the flight and hits the ball. Very much a player.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Fumbled a fair bit in the forth when the pressure was on.
But he's only a kid.....he's a good one this one
