Reece Conca - so long and thanks for all the fish

Agreed in fact I actually think because of those comparisons that Murphy is overrated, his disposal is not that great.

Pretty sure his kicking in his first year or two was sublime, was rated one of the best kicks going around. Think his kicking may have tapered off since then when forced to do much more midfield running just a slight loss of precision due to heavier workloads.

Putting the comparison aside, I'm perplexed by people thinking Murphy is underrated. From where I sit he's universally acknowledged as a bona-fide star midfielder. There was even talk of 'is he better than Judd?'. How much better could he be rated?

He is better than Judd in my book, but I take your point
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Murphy's development was helped by having C. Judd taking all the tags and doing the hard yards.
Let's hope Dusty, Cotch, Lids and Axel can do tthe same for Reece.

Not on the same league as the Miller thread. That's elite.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Pretty happy to have young Dyson launching his media career Thursday night while Reece quietly gets ready for round 1.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Will play round 1 but IMO he's bound to be the sub/get subbed off due to lack of match fitness so the suspension will still end up costing him and us a little bit.

I would imagine he would have done extra fitness work on top of his full load of footy training so he should be tip top. But it is the lack of match practise and dealing with pressure and his touch. Make him the sub and get him in there mid 3/4 and turn him loose.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

True, but he looked pretty clean on that first night. I think he will play in the starting 21. Ellis or Morris are my picks for sub.

I think he'll be a starter as well because he will play through the midfield. We'll need to strengthen that area as much as possible against the Blues.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Fixing Conca's match fitness by making him the sub and playing only 30 minutes?
He will be the sub all year at that rate.
More likely to be the one subbed off.

Tuck the sub for mine.
 
Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I hope Ellis isn't the sub. I need him to play maximum amount of minutes every week. :police:
