Conca knows how to tackle and make them stick.
Shorty certainly knows how to kick well. Lack of physicality and strength are a problem.
A lot of people are calling for Short and Markov to be included in the team.Don't forget when these two were playing in the team late last year,the team was getting hammered.I'm not saying they were to blame,just saying keep things in perspective.

very sensible post.

Re: Reece "Cereal Performer" Conca

Wow!

i obviously have to watch it again..............

I thought his disposal (and deer in spotlight demeanour) is such a worry!!

I wish him well.

At pick 6 - Prestia made him look a hack.
 
Re: Reece "Cereal Performer" Conca

Hate to harp on it but...... after picking Conca we traded 2 picks last year to get 2 other blokes we picked after Reece.
Heppel just had 34 touches, 3 goals, 8 tackles and captaining the Bummers.
T Lynch, touted as the next Carey and premier CHF.

Which is our worst pick of the last 20 years:
#6 Conca
#4 Tambling
#3 Fiora

I just keep saying SCOOP was right.

JON, Pettifer and Steinfort don't get a geurnsey? For as long as people keep putting him on the total dud, I'll keep saying it, good player when fit and confident.
 
Re: Reece "We picked him before Heppell?!?!?" Conca

Suggest everyone write down where they would have taken conca in draft and then compare how he is going with his peers. He's already provided more value than Fiora and Tambling.

he's also one of the best performing Pick #6 in the history of the AFL draft

NOt sure that was the question
 
Re: Reece "We picked him before Heppell?!?!?" Conca

Ironic that one of the arguments against Heppell was he was a flanker and now we are playing Conca off half back while Heppell is captaining his club from the middle
 
Re: Reece "We picked him before Heppell?!?!?" Conca

Fess up, who thinks of James Sellar each time Jack Riewoldt lines up for goal?
 
Re: Reece "We picked him before Heppell?!?!?" Conca

No doubt it hard to change your kicking style, however for a bloke who's had so many hammy issues I'd have thought hed be trying to kick across his body at a minimum. He may well be trying too just under the heat of the game.

Goin ok, just has to stay on the park, don't think he'll ever be what you'd hope of a top 10 pick , however no reason if the body holds up he can't become a solid player for us.
 
Re: Reece "We picked him before Heppell?!?!?" Conca

Chill out, our strategy is to trade in that years top 10.

This was a layup pick. Dead set gimme.

At first, when you see a player with that hairstyle you think, nuhh, just a show-off who shows a bit of talent but will fade out soon enough. But I was wrong. He's improved 10-fold in the last few years even considering he stuck with a (scumbag ;D) club when going through a huge scandal.

It's only 1 game but he directed his teammates better than Jabba did.

Good pick-up SCOOP. I wish we could post this more for our recruiters. :p
