A Season of Positives for Coniglio
Ryan Miller - @ryan_dmiller
24 October 2016 3:14 PM
The heartbreaking six point preliminary final loss to the Western Bulldogs reduced Coniglio and many of his team-mates to tears.
But he wants to use pain of the loss to drive his 2017 season.
“It has to fuel the whole playing group and the staff as well,” Coniglio said.
“There was so much emotion because it meant a lot to us,
“Some people say you have to lose one to win one but for us we’re as shattered as anyone that we didn’t get the opportunity to run out there on Grand Final Day.
“For me personally… it’ll sting for a long time, the whole off season and into the pre-season.”
Coniglio’s season echoed the GIANTS; it was a marked improvement.
The 22-year-old finished the home and away season with the equal most disposals for the GIANTS, was the club’s highest vote getter in the Brownlow Medal and was in the 40 man All Australian squad.
The midfielder was recognised by the GIANTS coaching staff for his efforts, finishing third in the Sheedy Medal count.
“Like the rest of the group, I think we all progressed together and my game was helped by the fact that everyone else around me was playing really good footy,” he said.
“I had a clear role in the midfield and up forward, so for me it was a very enjoyable year I guess.”
2016 also marked Coniglio’s first year in the GIANTS’ leadership team, a role he enjoyed.
“It’s a pretty good leadership setup that we do have with the two captains and with Heath Shaw sitting beneath them,” he said.
“I think the added responsibility can only help you in terms of what you need to be doing and displaying on the field.”
Coniglio, shows his leadership capabilities in the way he looks past the disappointing end to the season by only seeing positives.
“It’s a step in the right direction for the whole football club,” he said.
“It was really a number of firsts for the club, most wins and really a positive year… it’s something to build on.”

GIANTS Not Holding Back
Ryan Miller - @ryan_dmiller
23 January 2017 3:50 PM
The 23-year-old midfielder believes the club could field a near full-strength line-up for the three match series.
The GIANTS take on West Coast, Sydney and North Melbourne, three sides who featured prominently in the 2016 AFL finals series and pose as strong opposition ahead of the season proper.
“With the later start of our preseason for the more senior players a lot of our guys are on different programs at the moment so we might see a few of our first and second year players in the first game of the JLT series,” he said.
“But, in the last couple of years in particular, the competition for spots has been high, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we go full strength for two or maybe all three of the games.”
The GIANTS have previously used the JLT Series to test out their latest draftees, exposing their youngsters to senior football.
Having worked closely with a few of the GIANTS’ latest draft crop over the preseason, Coniglio not only thinks they can handle the JLT Community Series but push for higher honors.
“Harry Perryman, Will Setterfield and Timmy Taranto in particular in the midfielder, have been great and the positive thing is that they’re hard-working and always asking questions and wanting to get better,” he said.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we see them in the GIANTS team this year."
The youngsters and the entire GIANTS squad have had to train in intense heat throughout the pre-season, something that Congilio feels is only helping them ahead of a tough season.
“The last couple of weeks in particular since Christmas have been testing on the track,” he said.
“But it’s good for physical and mental training and the boys have been coping really well with it,
“The running that we’ve been doing has probably lessened with the introduction of match play so the boys always love that when January comes around,
We start to play a little bit more of the games and that’s when you get excited.”

GIANTS Better Equipped For Finals - Coniglio
Adam Curley, AFL.com.au
14 February 2017 1:38 PM
Coniglio, like most of his teammates, was visibly upset after the Western Bulldogs won through to last year's Grand Final by six points in a thriller at Spotless Stadium, a defeat he found hard to get over.
The 23-year-old headed to the United Sates and Europe to holiday with family and friends after a breakthrough season for both he and the club, and while the hurt of the loss lingered, Coniglio will use it to drive his 2017 campaign.
GIANTS coach Leon Cameron took his players through a thorough review of the game upon their return to pre-season training, and Coniglio thinks it has helped the group realise where they were last year, and where they need to be this season.
"In terms of how it ended it was a great little (reality) check for us, and motivation within the group is right up there again," he said.
"I went away for a good chunk of time and it was easy for me to switch off, but every time something popped up about the AFL it was definitely in the back of my mind.
"For me personally it has to be a good thing in terms of me wanting to come back in good shape and go again towards hopefully another finals series, but I know I wasn't the only one in that situation, a lot of the boys are in the same boat.
"We did make a lot of mistakes (against the Bulldogs), and one of the points Leon did make was that we can ignore it, or we can review it and learn from our mistakes, and that’s one of the most important things we did.
"When that occasion might come next time, we're definitely better equipped to what we were."
Coniglio was a midfield star for the GIANTS in 2016, playing 23 games and breaking the club's season record for disposals with 644 at an average of 28 per week, kicking 12 goals, and laying almost six tackles per game, all career highs.
Desperately unlucky to miss out on All Australian selection after making the 40-man squad, the tough onballer is looking for a more positive start to 2017, after he spent round one in the NEAFL last year due to a pre-season hamstring injury, and was the GIANTS’ sub a year earlier.
GIANTS has had its shortest pre-season training block after breaking its finals duck last year, and Coniglio said the players have handled it perfectly ahead of this week's opening JLT Community Series clash with West Coast in Narrandera.
"Usually we're back training on November 2nd and this year it was December 2nd, but for me, physically and mentally, I'm in a really good space," he said.
"The one thing I've learnt is that as you get older you get smarter in terms of what you do on your break, and your level of professionalism.
"We've always had high standards with the shape we come back in and making our 3km times and reaching the goals we set prior to Christmas.
"We're really looking forward to this JLT Community Series to try out a few things we've been working on and building towards round one against Adelaide."
