Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Re: Reece "Skills" Conca

Rance had 5 score involvements as did Houli. Broad had 4. Just sayin'. Big one was metres gained, only 32, that's 1/10th of his normal output. Wasn't great.

where is this stat? who was best and worst? Seems like decent company to me but anyway... Had the most goal assists for us at 2 on AFL dot com. 8 players had 1.

Hehe. Brodders getting it wrong again. McGuane esque.

What did i get wrong?

By the way others with 5 SIs- Prestia, Cotchin, Castagna.
Lambert had 3. Grigg 2.

Can not believe the love this guy gets. Has the skills of a suburban footballer. I’d rather Miles than Conca.

I can't believe the hate he gets. Totally bizaare. Duds and zips isn't bizaare mind you, their shtick is to bag all but half a dozen players, so it's just noise.

Re: Reece "Skills" Conca

All i will say is there is an issue of credibility about some bagging Conca.

There are some posting here who have spent years bagging a plethora of Richmond players week after week and year after year.
Keep posting, that's not my point, but don't expect your opinions to have much credibility because despite the constant bagging we won a premiership
and despite the constant bagging of Reece Conca ( who has been very good this year imo) we are on top of the ladder with him in the side.

Conca has been well worth his place this season in the team that sits on top of the tree. Good on him, I hope he gets a premiership medal

no he wasnt great. i dont think anyone is saying he was.
as an aside his 2 goal assists combined for about -30mtrs 'gained'. maybe the problem was when he moved the ball forward!

I'll back what our match committee thinks of him. You know, the guys who helped us win a premiership last year.

Re: Reece "Skills" Conca

Is that the Jazz Footy Guarantee? Don't reckon my bank would take it somehow.

Where does he sit when Rioli comes back? Or if they want to slot Towner in? Or menadue or Ellis hit form in the 2's?

Where do you think he ranks as a mid in our lineup?

 

[tigersnake]

Re: Reece "Skills" Conca

Your guarantee comment was wrong headed for 3 reasons. First it was just looking at last week on isolation, rather than say his last 10 games in the seniors, 9 of which have been wins in the top side, as a block. 4 in the best, 4 solid, 2 quiet. Second, there are reasons he is in the side and miles and Lloyd aren't already discussed to death, and third it's just a meaningless hypothetical that wasn't even convincing.

Your question is moot. He's in. if we get a full quota of fit in form players he might not be, who knows? He might lose form, he might be back in the best next week. Right now he's going fine.

Has had two significant brain drains , Devon Smith smack on the back of the head & last Sunday's juvenile 50 metre penalty. Do not need a third especially at a crucial moment of a finals game.

using that exact logic and timeframe, Rance is on notice: he belted a bloke on the temporal lobe eons ago, and gave a petulant 50 away last Sunday

You missed the point. The comment of a poster was:

Also had 5 score involvements from his 11 disposals. For a guy who doesnt spend much time forward (and supposedly terrible disposal) his score involvements are high.

My reply was

Rance had 5 score involvements as did Houli. Broad had 4.

Not sure why you're getting all puffed up and heated under the collar. I highlighted myself previously that Conca had 2 goal assist. Thanks for quoting me.

Not sure what his 32metres gained consisted of but the next lowest was Higgins 114 and McIntosh 116 so it was an amazingly low number from 11 disposals. It was just an observation, no malice intended.

The match committee may have helped us win a premiership but Conca didn’t. I’m sorry but he is not good enough. Can’t understand why he gets so much love. Hack of a footballer.

Wasn't getting heated, just wanted some reference points.

Re: Reece "Skills" Conca

His disposal lets him down too often.
Can't knock him for his attack on the ball.
Still in the side, but has had two ordinary games so far.
