Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
Agree, the load is being spread. The class becomes the icing and stands up when the game is on the line!
Worked today, let us down last week Maybe the two quality in's and Jackering ram (three in's) is the tipping point! Away didn't help either though!

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
Just watched the replay. That free against Conca for throwing the ball in the 3rd quarter was, as usual, wrong.

You've got to have grunt. Reece gives us that; he's certainly not silk, but he throws his body in, chases, contests hard in and under, and tackles. If he could just tidy up his disposal, he'd get a lot more recognition. Strong effort again today.

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
so he's performing above the average!
I think from memory from stats Ive posted here before pick 6 averages something like 60 games ( whereas the other top draft picks average over double that).turk-d-tiger said:

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
just out of interest, I wonder what the breakdown of crocks to duds is on that. Be mostly duds I'd say.

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
Played a strong game yesterday did Reece but needs to play within his limitations then people will notice the good things he does and he does plenty of them, unfortunately he often undoes his great work with poor disposal or by giving away a stupid untimely free kick,

"we're not perfect, we embrace that"
When you're a cannonball tackler you're gunna give away a few frees, disagree on the 'stupid ones often' call. He also gets a lot of frees from his tackling, up there with the most for the side I think.

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
Its about time some of the Anti Conca Fan Club give up on their crusade.
Instead of focusing on the odd mistake, just see what he contributes to the team.
E.g. Conca kicks the ball inside fifty to a pack, Geelong clear the ball and run it through the middle, the ball is passed to a forward and Conca has already run hard back into defence effects the spoil.
He will be credited with a pressure act but not the fact that he sprinted 80 mt. back into defence to help out.
Conca will always make the odd mistake as other who work at the coalface do but what he adds to the team far outweighs those mistakes.

Hey Concs is on 99 games. Start pumping up the volume for his 100th Baloo.
Despite the discussions on here on pros and cons, terrific that he can get the milestone after all his injury setbacks.
Seems well loved by the group and does give it 100% every time he plays.

Re: Reece "2018 Whipping Boy" Conca
Bad call, he was not poor. Yes he is a poor kick and does miss targets but overall he played pretty well. And has earnt his spot. Reckon KMac goes out before this guy if everyone is available.

Reckon Reecey's entitled to a return cuddle from every player on the team for his hundredth.
Mighty pleased that for all the injury set backs Reecey has suffered over the years n the curse of pick 6 that he's finally made it to his hundred games for the Tiges. Now we get first dibs on any little Giuseppe the Concareters that may have talent in the future.lamb22 said:
