A big critic of Conca over the years. I have never thought he has enough good attributes to become a real good mid. but have always thought he would go alright in the back half with the play in front of him.I think Conca might make it from the back pocket. Liked the way he played and plenty of room for improvement from experience based on Freo game.
The back pocket suits his short straight kicking style and frees up options for his hand ball.
I wonder if its not too far into preseason to move Vlastuin out of the back half and into a midfield role and replace him with Conca down back..
