Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
His kicking is suspect, his handballs usually high looping and ineffective, his decision making is horrible - CANNOT for the life of me see any positives with him......terrible terrible draft pick. Unbelievable really IMHO.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
Thought he was pretty good yesterday. He has missed so much football it's hard to judge him. Give him a decent run at it.
For a high first round pick though he is nowhere near the mark.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
Gets judged too harshly because of those who got picked after him. That's not his fault, that's Frank's.
Time to judge what's on the park, not what's in your heads.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
Anyone who has my heart sinking no matter where or when he gets the ball has me concerned. He should be able to make better decisions at his age. If he would just focus on the basics without trying to pull off the impossible kicks would really help him. Creates his own problems.

New season Scoop. Let's give him a chance to get some continuity and see what we end up with.
If he gets injured in 6 weeks though, call out the stewards and put up the metaphorical curtain.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
He's done a whole preseason and 3 practice matches.
No excuses about continuity now.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
Short dinky passes are a symptom of a lack of work rate from the whole team. If there's enough movement upfield, there's less need for the short passes, more options open up creating more uncontested marks and overall the speed of ball movement improves. You might call hit downhill skiing, but fast ball movement, is what players like Conca and Ellis need to compensate for skill errors. They remind me a bit of old Jacko - he was best when we were moving the ball quickly and more options were created by good upfield movement.

At best he is a good ordinary player. Normally he is not a good ordinary player

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
I've watched/reviewed the game a few times (had to turn down the sound as Gerard Healy's over the top hand wringing was driving me nuts) and I only recall seeing a solitary shank from Reece, which was a left foot dribbler near our forward 50, where he tried to squeeze/pinpoint an improbable pass rather than just banging it forward.

Re: Reece "Precision" Conca
I think I read he went at 83% disposal efficiency yesterday, doesn't always give a true indication but does mean he hit most targets.

While blind stats n numbers aren't by any means the be all n end all of the conversation. When I looked in the Hun this morning n had a look at the numbers attributed to the players,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Reecey the Concareter topped the tables, way out in front of the efforts of his team mates.
Not that shabby from a bloke who can barely string a few games together each year due to chronic hamstring injuries.
