Player Watch #30: Reece Conca

[tugga]

Yes, unrestricted according to AFL.

so we get nothing for him?
Doubt he would command a salary that would get us any compo.

 

[T4P]

I call BS here. The media seem to be battling very very hard to try and fabricate stories that cast doubt over us - Rioli’s jarred finger, Dusty’s knee, Conca’s contract. Can’t give anything credit at the moment.

Conca will win the norm smith and stay.

Happy for Conca if he gets a 3 year deal on decent coin, Fringe player at best and no guarantee's he will be around after 2019

 

[Nop returns]

Would love to send him off with a premiership medal

FA rules are a bit weird. But yeah, that seems to be the case.
Hopefully RFC offer him a decent contract.

You win some, you lose some.
I doubt we could afford to keep him.
If he gets more midfield time and gets to go home, then I would wish him all the best.

Don't get compo anyway given we're getting Lynch

Reece will stay, He's a star

 

[Muddiemoose]

12 months ago would of been all for getting rid of him but he’s really impressed me this year since moving into the middle

Would be a shame to lose him especially given we won’t receive anything for him in return but that’s the way the cookie crumbles

Hopefully he’s still in yellow and black next year

 

[tunksy]

If we lose him we need another mid to step up. Simple as that

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Bad scenario being a FA.

Maybe we should match to force a trade.

That has the potential to backfire however if Freo then lose interest and we are stuck with a big 3 year contract

Conca for Fyfe
Get it done tiges

Hi guys,

Interesting reading last couple of pages.

I think Neale is out the door and as such this is our plan A back up. Don’t mind it myself. Lose Neale, gain pick 4 PLUS more. Take Conca as FA. Don’t pay a cent and play him in Neales position.

Is he as good as Neale? Who cares. So long as he isn’t a complete spud it’s a slight downgrade in position and a massive upgrade in future potential.

Obviously we’ll wreck his calves and hammers further but he’s been one I’ve watched the last 2 years closely because knew he was on our radar 2 years ago.

Genuinely surprised he has fought on. Personally thought he’d slowly drift out of Richmond’s side and be delisted.

Good for him.

Nil compo if we pull a fa such as lynch

 

[NZ_Tiger]

If he goes he goes. Such is free agency and there is no point getting into a bidding war for a mid tier player or we will lose a vital player down the road.

Really only worried about Reece’s next few games.
Whatever happens after that happens. I’m sure that’s his and the clubs attitude too.

Reece is a star and one of our more important players, only thing thats kept him out of the team is injury

He's a best 22 player

He has strengths in finding a fair amount of contested ball , not a clinical ball user , not as bad as some. may suggest either , given the mooted comings and going’s , we d need to bring someone in to replace him as we havent got an obvious replacement at VFL,,,,,yet

 

[Tforce]

We need conca cuddles all round. They'll be plenty this week.

Reckon if he goes we need to keep Lloyd. Think Miles will go so we need another more experienced player whilst youngsters develop. Unless Rioli ready to move to midfield and Bolton comes in.

Fully agree , Lloyd becomes a must keep as we ve suddenly lost a bit of depth if expected list changes take place

 

[smasha]

Here come the hyenas.

AFL site with the hashtag out.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Sure he’ll probably leave and good luck to him but it’s pretty insignificant right now. Bigger fish to fry.

 

[King Jedd]

Would be nice to keep him for depth. Guess it depends who else we get in. good luck to him if he's getting offered a three year deal on good coin, can't blame him.

 

[Philth]

Tigers are a premiership team with the best culture in the league.
These could be the reasons he ignores freo and stays put for less $.
