Toast Reece Conca: 50 Games

[Grockadoc]

Now that I have erased the Carlton game from my memory, I thought it would be a good time to bring up that Reece is due to play his 50th AFL game against GWS.

He may not be the most skilful player, but he puts his head over the ball, goes when he has to, and leaves nothing on the footy field. His first 50 games have shown he has the ability to become a very good AFL player, so here's hoping the next 50 are as good as his first 50 (preferably even better ).

Reece was okay today, not flawless but not inept either IMO Put in some good defensive pressure at times to

He isn't going to be the flashy player like Jack or Dusty, Cotch or Lids where you don't know what you are going to get on a week to week basis. Reece seems to be cut from the same jib as Steve Morris in that you know EXACTLY what you are getting, week in, week out.

 

[Jimmybob]

Will be twice as good once he can play a solid second half Hopefully he can get on the board again like he did against the Lions. Go Concs

 

[Harmichael]

Disposal is way too enigmatic at this stage. Needs to be more conistent. At the moment he's just a successor to Tuck -i.e. a ball winner who bangs it forward - we need him to be more than just that.

he makes better decisions than most at times though. I anticipate he will improve, good pick up, but I am not creaming like David King atm!!

I think he's got more class than some of us give him, I don't see him as only a blue collar ball winner.

Thought he was just building into what was gonna be a pretty solid season just before he got injured; timing is certainly everything in footy. Took him a week or two to get back to the pace of AFL.

Pretty good first 50, but I'd LOVE to hear him have a big pre-season and really get himself ready for what should be a big year for us. Will be an important player going ahead - kick on Reecy!

 

[TheAnt]

Before he got injured his kicking was elite.

 

[Spluff]

He hasn't gotten back to his pre-injury form but he's been more than handy. Here's hoping he sticks around.

Happy with the way Huggsy's going - 2014 will be his breakout year

 

[Dr Tigris]

Before his injury the issue with Reece's kickign wasn't accuracy but penetration. He's usually a pretty good kick, but seems to have lost it a bit with his injury. Hopefully will have a godo pre season and get that accuracy back. Can become A grade. But I'd be happy with B+ tough inside/outside player.

 

[RunningBounce]

Well done to Reece! I'm hoping for many, many more. I like what Reece contributes.

Necessary part of the team as we build towards something. Tuck and Foley aren't gunna be around forever.

 

[Madison]

Just wait till he actually does a pre season. Will light it up. Some people are going to look very foolish when he can finally string a couple pre seasons together

 

[MightyTiger]

Congrats to Reecy, my favourite player alongside Cotchin and Vlastuin, so sad though that he's constantly had foot issues since being drafted, I have a feeling that it's affected his disposal some what, regardless, will be a beauty of a player and has a long AFL future ahead of him.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Great work Conca! Always rated him since I saw his debut in the nab cup a few years ago. Good decision maker, composed and isn't afraid to do the hard stuff.

Let's hope the fella marks his 50th game with a lazy 50 disposals

P.S Still rate him higher than the princess Heppell

 

[TJTIGER]

Congratulations Reece ! Always had time for Conc's, The only way is up for Reece as his body finishes developing and he continues to fill out

 

[TigerTime88]

That ball he centred against the saints. Hopefully has a big per season and Avgs 25 pos next year instead of 20.

only took 15 posts to mention Heppell, slowly making progress

 

[Gentlemen]

I don't get the bad skill thing going around, he's a great kick of the ball.

Hell, my friend, who is a semi-follower of football told me "geez, that ranga there is a decent kick"

And no it wasn't Jackson.

 

[Mr r33per]

Congrats Conca! Can't wait to see his next 50.

With Dustin about to sign we need Concs signature.

He is no where near the just slam it on the boot style player like tucky imo. In fact he is the opposite in that he tries to chew too much off sometimes.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Congrats to Conca for 50 games. It is little wonder West Coast is chasing his signature. Need to sign him up quick smart once Dusty's deal is done. Our midfield is so much better with him in it.

 

[the push up king]

Dan Richardson just stated on 3aw that Reece has declared his interest in staying at the club and that he is happy where he is.

Also said that the dusty and Reece are in similar boats in terms of discussions of contract.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Really hope we re-sign him, he's very important to our midfield.
