Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Sintiger said:
This year has always been about showing the footy world what he can do when he actually has a pre season and is fit.

His career has been ordinary so far but some come at about him being slow, lacking mobility etc have always been just plain wrong.

He may come out and pull a hammy next week but he really deserves a proper go at it. Conca can play, no doubt. I really hope for his sake he stays fit
I posted elsewhere but may as well include in Reece thread:

Reece spoke at the Social Club tonight, happy as a pig in sh!t at the moment, gave plaudits to Balmey for sitting him down and having a chat and convincing him Tige's was the place to be, seemed like that is all he was wanting to hear. First full pre-season too so all is good in the world until that next hammy?, (hopefully not).
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Conca was awesome today. His reading of the incoming ball, anticipation, pace (yes!), courage, ball-winning ability, vision and dancing feet are well-suited to the role. If he ever gets back to the kicking we saw in his draft year, look out.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

But he's a dud and we shoulda taken a bunch of other players. Blah blah.

I'm glad he's healthy. Hopefully we see even more than he's shown so far.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

If he keeps playing like he did today, I'll be happy to admit I was wrong
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Best game I've seen him play.

Seems to have eliminated the short kicks to a 50-50 contest.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Plenty more where that came from. Conca always had the footy brain, he just needed his body to get right.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Much better. Still does some crazy things but today is as good as I've seen him in two years.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Played a great game today.

Just got to work on getting more penetration on his kicks still.
Seems to get too close to the man on the mark which results in the up and unders.

Deserves a change in luck with the injury gods ... hope this good run continues.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Loved his game today, didn't see those panic kicks today and his pace was very good
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Whoodda thunk you would need a preseason and a decent run without injury to have a chance to become a solid AFL footballer!
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Best game I have seen him play. Not a fan usually but was quite impressive.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Was really strong in contests. His run was A1.
He played a really good game.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Playing well.

I still maintain that he shouldnt take our kickouts but.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

Outstanding game. Up there with the Geelong game a couple years back at the 'G.

One of this years big improvers.
 
Re: Reece "All Australian" Conca

We get on and off players too quick. Good game, good players keep playing them.
