Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

I hope he has an outstanding two weeks. It would be to our advantage in the mid field.

Hope he's a life member by the end of the month.
And any decisions about season 2019by Reece and/or the Club - could well be influenced by whether or not that occurs.
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

Hoping we go back to back n The Concareter gets a dingly dangly. Wouldn't surprise if he's getting some attention from W.A. clubs, it's always only been his injuries that have kept Reece from being a very good player. He's had a strong season this year, finally. Happy to see him stay a Tiger, but got a feeling he might be getting some strong incentive to return west.

He is from Perth but anybody I have spoken to around RFC (which is not many I admit) say he loves the club and has no desire to leave to go back to WA

If Freo poaches Conca and we are getting Lynch we don't get any compensation pick.

That sucks big time.

If we're in essence trading Conca for Lynch, you do that every day of the week.

It's more like giving Conca away for free though.


Bad business.

It's bad business if you get a crocked Daisy Thomas for Eddie Betts. Not if you're losing our 5th or sixth midfielder for an All Australia CHF. Part of doing business.

For what it's worth, unless Freo gives him a massive offer I can't see Reece leaving. Loves the club, and is a big cultural driver. Will stay unless they offer something stupid.

yeah I agree. They'll have to make him a big offer to get him. They need grunt so they could well do that.
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

Surely Reece would have asked Freo the question over the years and been rejected. I would be bitter that they only make the offer now
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

I think of memory he rejected a previous offer and preferred to stay at RFC as he enjoys the group of players and place. Maybe it was during his last contract.

If we win & then win the GF and he is part of it, I feel he will stay

What's the alternative? Not sure we can do much else.
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

Conca is a very replaceable player who is awfully lucky to be playing this week and that's the honest truth. Been a wasted high pick good bloke or not. If he wants to go and it helps our salary cap pressure it's a win for all parties

I think he'll stay too Al. Very popular clubman.
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

You would think so TOO, especially when he suffered the injury that night and the way the players got around him. Wasn't manufactured, but real.

lucky how?
he has been consistently picked in the ones when fit since he was drafted.
 
Re: Reece "The Centurion" Conca

Turnover merchant with no X factor. Averages 17 possies a game in reg season and 10 in finals. Enough said. Hope he turns in a blinder
