Player Watch #30: Reece Conca

[Grrr]

My cousin dislocated his knee the same weekend and he is F'd with a capital F.
Reece is extremely lucky.

Lucky and Reece.... not words often seen together.

No, about time the kid got a lucky break, he's been through enough and needs to have a good run at it.

 

[Maroo]

This from this week’s injury report.

“It’s looking really good. He doesn’t have a boot on today . . . He’ll probably start jogging on the Alter G treadmill later this week, definitely at the latest next week . . .”

Good god! That is incredible! If he was a racehorse, the curtain would have come out at Etihad that night.

Awesome news for conca. Will be a nice boost and all going well be ok for finals

 

[T4P]

Injury list has him 1-2 weeks away, unbelievable!

Good chance to play vfl next week. Great news

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Hopefully he gets back before finals and we see if he’s in our best side or not

 

[tunksy]

Hoping he plays vfl this week. Bye next week

 

[Hank Heavenly]

We've seen. He is.

 

[tropicaltiger]

[Sir_Loin]

Hope he can get back and get some form up leading into the finals. Has three games to push for a spot, don’t know who he tips out though

 

[tony__montana]

We've seen. He is.

Not if he’s not 100%. That’s what we need to see

 

[Dr Tigris]

Club report was that he is going to be playing VFL

Conca needs to get through training this week to line up in Saturday's clash with Williamstown in what will be a remarkable comeback after the graphic ankle injury he suffered just 39 days ago.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Deserves some luck

Of course.

Reece Conca rolled his ankle in the match today. Opposite one to the one he dislocated.

Will probably miss next week now :/

EDIT: reserves have a bye anyway

Matching pair now

Could only happen to cuddles

Conc’s is going to be the hard luck story again this year, just got that feeling that he won’t have the conditioning or touch to take into a finals series

Yea will be pushing it , good luck Reece

 

[Madison]

Tough luck to him and hope he recovers but I don’t see him getting back in the team anyway. There’s no one who played today that I’d drop for him.

Agree with that but still disappointing to see him not get through today, going on his form earlier in the year hed be a very handy in, if there’s any injuries

Bloody devo. Hope he gets a good run at it going into finals.
