Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

I agree, it’s easy to see what his role is, however he really needs to tidy up the disposal, I’d nearly get him to become a bit more like down the line Dave and just take the simplest option each time, as he un does his good inside work to often by trying to get to creative.

His best position for us is on the half back line in a freo jumper

A long way from our worst.
Yep, about three or four handy players last night n an absolute truck load of duds.

Worst game we've played since the StKiddinme debacle last year, yet we still only lost by a couple of goals.
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

I love Conca's endeavour, but he's so frustrating, he had the second most tackles on the ground, but the most clangers. He gets a lot of contested possessions but hardly any clearances. Would like to see C. Ellis given his spot for a few games.

Has a cracked rib. I’d imagine he’d be less athletic as the game goes on. He’s a better option than Miles or Lloyd.
Bring back the other two, Conca is getting a lot less attention.

We should be asking why Cotchin only got 15 and Caddy 8.

I keep hearing about this cracked rib. Where did this rumour come from? I've had cracked ribs and you can't sneeze let alone play a tough game of footy

You don't think you have seen enough of little Ellis before?

regardless of one's thoughts on Conca, CEllis is miles behind him.

On past AFL games i agree, but C. Ellis has played inside mid for the last month or so and done ok. His tackles numbers are good which is a strength of Conca's and his disposal is heaps better, even if he doesn't get as many as Conca.
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

Watching Cellis try to tackle Peppa Pig last night wouldn’t have been pretty

Ellis has been going ok. Conca would dominate in the VFL.

My impression was Reece didn't see many centre bounces last night.

Was on the SA radio broadcast. They had seen him heavily strapped with padding over his left rib cage before he came out on the field.

Exactly Corey Ellis wouldve just been another passenger last night.
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

His handball receive in the fwd 50 was telling.
Was stationary and flat footed.
Everyone else in the team would have been on the move towards goal in anticipation. As a result he was nailed
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

I absolutely hate his kicking!!
Teams must love when he kicks it i50.
That 9 iron style just has never improved.
For mine it’s time for Reece to move on.
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

If this guy is in our best 22 then line up Zipper at FF.

That's what frustrates me too, he's busts a gut and then undoes it with terrible kicking.

It might be worth trying him in a different role closer to goal, i think he could play in Butlers position. His set shot kicking is pretty good and he wouldn't be found wanting with tackling etc.

Bloke called Dermie once played us with a shirt full of busted ribs. Put on a wet suit vest for padding n munched a rather large handful of pain killers before running out n kicking about ten ( or similar outrageous amount ) against us n we even tried to work him over. There's some hard bastards out there that get better the tougher it is.

What game was this?
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

Same old, same old.

Butcher by foot and panics.

If we are to make another flag tilt, he has to be player 24+.
 
Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca

Simple really. Conca should be dominating in the vfl and only getting a game when we are completely undermanned. Not starting week in week out.
