Player Watch #30: Reece Conca

The reality is with all the new blood in he will struggle to be best 22 even if fit.
Nobody wanted him which makes him an embarrassing pick six and a list clogger. It reminds me of Wallet gifting Tsmbling games and contracts in hope he would turn into a good vintage wine yet he was vinegar from day one.

why?? because we need him to up his value and resurrect his career and get us a second rounder next year, instead of going into the PSD ;)

I was going to tear this post apart ... until I saw the wink at the end and whose name was on the post .. and then I got the essence of it.
Definitely need him so this time next year I am reading another abundance of posts such as ...
Conca, Lennon, pick 34 and 73 - Essendon
Merrett, Zaharakis and picks 3 and 19 - Richmond.
 
Need to find out who the Hawthorn physios are to get advice. He has troublesome hamstrings just as Cyril used to have, they taught him how to change his running style and he hasnt missed a game in 2 years. We have seen flashes of what Conca can do and I am glad he is going around again, fingers crossed for him.

His highlights reel on the richmond website is quite impressive

My highlights reel is impressive too, albeit shorter.
That's the point of a highlights reel.
They aren't going to put in a few dropped chest marks, the tim,e he failed to chase and endless weeks of blank footage while he was sidelined with injury.
 
Just don't get it either. One year at best. Even without injuries, while he is an in and under player and can maybe tackle, it is outweighed because he has always turned over the ball, he can only kick it 30 meters, poor decision maker and he was always too slow (so he can't be a tagger) and the modern game needs quick players. None of those deficiencies can change. He is Matt Thomas with hair.

I’m happy with this. If you look to when Reece was fit (2013) he was a consistent player for us. He’s rugged and gritty – the type of player we lack but he has some class as well. His hamstrings since that 2013 final have let him down massively. I actually thought in last years pre-season he looked as fit as he’s ever been and then went down with that hamstring injury against Port which was the beginning of an injury ridden disaster start to the year.

If he gets his body right and can play more minutes in the midfield our depth running through that area of that ground starts to look a lot better especially (and I’m going early) we bring in Caddy. He’s a best 22 for me when fit – he started showing signs in the VFL last year when he put some games together.
 
So here's a thing.

Conca had only played 15 games less than both Dion & Josh (80, 95, 95)

All drafted in the top 10 in the same year (6, 7, 9).

If we can get them all firing, Reece included, this draft will be considered a blessing for us.
