Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Whenever Conca has the ball, you can be pretty confident he will use it well. along with neat skills his decision making is just so good for a 2nd year player.

Smashed it today. Outstanding game.

Looked like a 100 gamer today. Time, space and skill.

And kicked goals. Goalkicking mids, we need them.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Loved him from day 1. Was awesome today, skill, composure, toughness, had it all. Love the way he will hold off the handball to ensure his teammate is at advantage before release, Cousins-esque.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I have sat on the fence for the most part. Concious that Heppel was doing great but willing to give Reece time. A couple of good signs mid-season before tiring then injury.

Looked super today. Let's hope the graph continues to go up all season.

Heppel reminds me of Travis Johnstone.

Dyson who?

I'd say we've got them.

Not enough! And not sure we can bank on Conca every week. If he did what he did today minus the goals most weeks I will be more then happy.

Dyson who?

The other one is Caddy. Just saw him put it out of bounds for the second time under no pressure, and not racking up the stats either.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Didn't realize Conca was a thumping kick that goal was just outside the centre square and cleared the line easy!

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Have thought this for a while & far be it for leysy to compare to one of his few all time faves.

But how *smile*ing much is Reece Conca like Matthew Knights.

A high honour but is getting close to deserving it. Baggy shorts'n'all.

Know its a big call, but anyone?

On his original draft highlights package he slammed through an almost identical goal for Perth...55 out on the run.

Well they both play/played for Richmond so I guess that's a start.

They also have the last name Knights or Conca, so thats another

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Was listening to the MMM call and Lyon said that this was the type of game Conca needed which I agree with. Hopefully it gives him the confidence to take the game on more against the better sides. His 2 goals were really classy finishes and if he can start adding that to his game then it will help us a lot like SCOOP said.

Matthew Knights-like composure was what I saw from Conca at the beginning of the season, he struggled a little when he played as a backman but blossomed in the midfield.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

Good game from Conca except for a few unacceptable turnovers by foot which suspect were because of fitness issues. He is 19 and has only one full pre-season after all.

Conca has all the attributes to be become and elite onballer and he and the coaching staff shouldn't settle for anything less.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I've been wary of all the early Conca love around here but I enjoyed his game yesterday. By far his best game. Hopefully we see plenty more of it.

Re: Reece "Squirrel" Conca

I was the 1st to bagged the kid, not just ion his performances but why they went another midfielder instead of a tall.
But yesterday showed me and proved to me that this kid in 3-4 years is going to be a 25+ possie player that will be in our top 5-6 player. Very classy and love the long knighter goals.
Give him 33!
