Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Yep he'll be fine I have no doubt about that.
We've been spoilt with Martin coming in and being ready-made from the get go. We are going to have to be a little more patient with Reece as he makes the transition from Juniors to AFL.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
To me Conca will be a very good player but he will be a reliable high quality possession winner , someone we can rely on to get high possessions and use the ball well . He will never be a game breaker .
Its not meant to be a criticism because there is nothing wrong with that . He is just not the burst of brilliance type footballer.
He was unlucky with that one . I thought it was goal live . Haven't seen the replay but it looked through from where i was and I was relatively close .Leysy Days said:

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
i was a heppell fan and think he is doing well, however i think conca will be a genuine mid very much in the form of cousins
id like to see cousins back at the club working with conca, chimp, lids and martin.... teach them how to gut run
both heppell and conca will be very good players but i think conca will overtake him and be a star

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Looks to be struggling a bit with his depth of kick at the moment.
A couple of shots he has had from 50m have fallen short in recent weeks, hope the heavy workload he has done this season is not doing too much damage.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
His legs are definately tired, but a good preason will build up his quads. He'll be raring to go next year.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Heppell will mayb win bummers b&f. He was our early target for first round selection before a switch to Conca.
R we still happy with the punt on Reece.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Wondering whether Reece would have slipped to our second pick ? I know its all hindsight, but was anyone else genuinely interested in Reece ?

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Thats what I thought. I am happy with Reece, he looks very much at home in the contested role he plays.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
Nope. She had him at #23 in her talent rankings which is where she rates them not where she thinks they will be picked based on the rumours and what she hears.
Heppell by the way:
Hmm. Was very surprised we overlooked Heppell on draft day and still surprised and can't figure our why we did it. Happy enough with Conca but he won't match Heppell's class over the journey IMO on the qualities I've seen in both so far. Conca will be a good soldier midfielder IMO as Emma points out that would have him slotting behind the likes of Cotchin/Martin. Heppell has that star quality about him that would've fallen in line right next to the likes of Cotch and Martin.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
I've got no problem with getting Conca before Heppel.
Reece showed some unbelievable courage when he knocked Stokes out a few games back, total eyes for the footy

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca
He's tailed off a bit but his early form was as good as can be expected of a first year player, I reckon he's a good fit at our club and despite the fact Heppell will be a very good player I reckon Conca will play 150 games of AFL football. I'm going out on a limb here and going to predict he'll be the best pick 6 in the history of the game. ;D
