Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

I thought his attack on the football was great early last year even if his disposal made you nervous ,

Now , nothing seems to be working ,

Should make way for Vlastun .

No *smile*, true story. In his early days i was a fan, just thought he needed to get a fair run with injuries and clean up his kicking a little. Enough is enough. No bull snakey.

yes bull. we wasn't great sure, accept that and could well be dropped. But he wasn't 'enough is enough' bad.
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

He was real bad snake. Putrid bad. But I'm a fan coz I know what his ceiling is and I'd persist hoping he gets fit and finds peak form.

Being scapegoated, wasn't our worst, wasn't great mind you.
I am a supporter of his but his was bad last night.

His biggest issue is he goes to ground too easily.

Can't see him surviving long term.
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

He’s the new Morris........

Can’t kick
Goes to Ground
Try’s hard, but no idea....

He’s a very good VFL player (as is Morris....who, to be fair, will be a good Capt for our VFL side),
but he can’t cut it at senior level.

Spends way too much time on his knees, there were 2 times the other night clean hands would've had us cut through their defence but both times he fumbled and we lost the opportunity to clear

It's not the worst comparison. To start with he wasn't but he has morphed into Morris. In the top 15 for clangers right now.

Watch Broad waltz in next week and take his spot. Player number 30 on the list and falling. Played 88 games, wouldn't bank on him getting to 95.
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

Conca is one of those players that makes me hold my breath out of fear when he gets the ball. He hesitates when he's got the ball, irrespective of the pressure being applied by the opposition and we all know what happens to he who hesitates.....he's lost.
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

He would probably be fine playing in 2012 but the game has changed since then. Plays too conservatively. As if he is scared of stuffing up all the time. In the process he misses opportunities.

Seems to be dragging our game style back a couple of years. I'm really scared of this rubbing off on other players - especially with the likes of Rioli and Prestia out of the team. Having a bad impact on the overall game style is worse than getting barely any touches at all IMO (e.g. C Ellis).
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

"Reece Conca has been critical to the Tigers this quarter, winning eight disposals this term but also ensuring that the Tigers have retained possession from seven of his disposals, clearly the best on ground in this category."

Here i was thinking Conca had mucked it up a little through the midfield handball chains, when i came across this quote on the match day app.
I can't trust my eyes it seems.
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

Well, i thought he was looking pretty stinky so.....
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

Must have been Whipping Boy Round was it?

Reecy C, Kmac, Georgy all among the best. :clap
 
Re: Reece "Silky Smooth" Conca

Bloody hell, just when you think we have seen the end of Reeece, he plays a very good game. Let's hope he can build from here.

I reckon Reecy is pure inside mid being played on a HBF

Nah. It's a very interesting study into the basic human need to blame someone. Recent criticism seriously failed to understand the big picture, people willing him to fail. Can play, full stop.
