Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Re: Reece "Alfa Romeo" Conca

He said at the clinic yesterday he was hoping to be right to play in about 5-6 weeks
 
Re: Reece "Alfa Romeo" Conca

Make it minimum 6 then before he comes back via VFL, that is already round 20. Doubt it will leave him enough time to crack back into the ones this year?

Conca and Griffiths will be ready to come in for our first final ;)

Thanks TT, how was it?

Brilliant as usual. So well run. About an hour of clinic and another hour of autographs and photos in an exceptionally well coordinated manner. Most of the senior team present (Rance the notable exception for the first time in about the last 4 years) and the bigger names of the 2's like Maric, Hunt & Morris. I was trying to explain to my kids how lucky they were and that this kind of stuff just wasn't on offer when I was a kid.

They were like "yeah dad but you didn't even have the internet back then so....."

nice! we could walk into the rooms pre game as kids though and listen to the gee-up, just asked the doorman 8-. At least us boys could.

I was discussing this scenario in terms of Griffiths being our only viable second tall and him returning in first final....shivers down my spine.

If either aren't ready by Rd 20 we just have to go with whoever has been playing regularly. Can't risk two unproven under pressure players resuming after 16 or 20 weeks out.

2 VFL, 1 AFL and see how he goes. If hes arching his back and moving through traffic, he'd be valuable for a finals campaign.

finals are all heavy traffic, and Conca is probably only third behind Dusty and Stengle in heavy traffic 8-

And us girls had to stand out in the cold while their dad and brothers went in #memories
 
Re: Reece "Alfa Romeo" Conca

Reece spoke before game yesterday, still 5 weeks away. I would say we can forget him having any contribution to our finals campaign? Just hope he fully recovers from his lisfranc injury, (an injury which has ended a few careers).
That's the problem with Concs, we are always hoping his body holds up. For the brightsiders "Hope springs Eternal" for Darksiders "Dud delist". I'm in the former by the way.
 
Re: Reece "Alfa Romeo" Conca

Put a line threw him the rest of the year.

Bad injury that.

Thanks again for your info Caesar.
