Reece Conca

[Happy Mastenator]

Yeah conca is a pretty shit footballer so you guys don't need him.

Who here has ever said that? We all want him, but at a price reflective of him being an out of contract player that preferably leaves us pick 6 to use in the draft.

Who has said he's shit?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

multiplied by behinds?

Free kicks are clangers. Which means that there is a bias against defenders.

 

[Chris_6678]

Asking for pick 6 AND a player i think is over the top. We have the bargaining power and they know it.

I said he still can't kick for shit I don't miss THAT part of his game! Ebert was a horrible kick when he was here and is probably close to top 10 in the league for clangers this year ! He would be on par with priddis this year for clangers ! If I'm right then it's you who looks the fool after your dribble !

Elbert's overall ball use, his run and carry, his ability to damage the opposition with the ball have improved enormously each of the last 2 years. Plenty of times this year he has run, bounced and then kicked long to set up goal scoring attempts. Does he occasionally still shank a kick? Yes, as does almost every player in the AFL. Given the role he plays and the possessions he gets/damage he does his kicking is now fine. It's not elite but its fine.

He's an excellent player we should have fought harder to retain.

I'm happy to put my knowledge of Ebert and footy up against yours.... I suspect it'll be a short contest.

People who come on and dribble about Eberts kicking or pace or whatever based on things he did and perceptions he created as an 18 and 19 year old need to move on. He is a very good 23 year old midfielder that' we would be much better off having. If it makes you feel better to point out a couple of average kicks in one game then go for it. It suggests you don't really know much about Ebert or footy though.

I never said he wasn't a good midfielder or that I'm glad he went to port at all I wish we still had him just his kicking is still shit . His goal kicking not bad but his field kicking is horrible at times even under no pressure and all I said that I don't miss that part of his game ! Look at his kicking efficiency he one of the worst at port and it was the same here so don't go round on your I love Ebert band wagon and tell me he is a great kick because that is just false ! And my point in the first place was about how his horrible turnovers against Geelong cost them !

Well, I'll agree to disagree. Cos frankly your opinion is bollocks and not worth wasting time on.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Karl Langdon - Conca Eagle target. Richmond and Conca still some distance away. Will leave if deal not made very soon.

Whatever.

From the Richmond board.

I don't really think Langdon has his finger on the pulse but it's interesting enough.

 

[SpaceClef]

Ebert has impressed me immensely in the games i've seen recently. Pretty bummed he's gone to be honest. Why have we failed to develop youngsters properly in recent years? It's very concerning.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Now this.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Conca has re-signed until 2016

On the HUN now with quotes from Conca

 

[ChampRevesby]

Well looks like Martin is the only one left on the market that is worth anything to us.

 

[Prem87]

We'll chase him at the end of 2016 then..

 

[Danog]

We'll chase him at the end of 2016 then..

If his mindset is the same as it is now, you should get him then.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Thank God, the only way we were going to get him is if Martin re-signed and it squeezed Conca out, Richmond can keep him, never really rated him as highly as everyone else in this place and that hammy injury in the finals sealed the deal for me

 

[Icanwalk]

It seems that by virtue of Dustin Martin being a complete f**kwit, we've missed out on what could've been a very beneficial trade. Could D.Swallow be lured away with pick 6? Yarran with our second, Yeo a straight swap for Smith (reckon he needs a new club or coach to fulfil his potential).

 

[QS]

If his mindset is the same as it is now, you should get him then.

He seems loyal so maybe not

 

[pantskyle]

Well that's just funny.

 

[Falco]

Well that has fizzed bigtime. I guess this thread is going to disappear into the BF ether, never to be seen again.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Quick everyone to the Elliot Yeo thread and feel the excitement!

 

[Falco]

Quick everyone to the Elliot Yeo thread and feel the excitement!

Huzzah! Yeo for pick 40!

 

[mentalgrind]

Well that has fizzed bigtime. I guess this thread is going to disappear into the BF ether, never to be seen again.

Look for Alphy to bump it in 3 years time and tell everyone not to get ahead of themselves.

 

[Milenko]

Bullet dodged I say.

Best available young MID talent please.

And don't f it up this time WCE recruiters.

 

[bodazoka]

:/

Hopefully Pick#6 is a good talent.

 

[Chris_6678]

When he did the hammy i wasn't 100% sure..and also we would have to use our first pick as Conca did like being at the Tigers and he would want to make sure it was a fair trade. If we can not get Yarran for a 2nd round pick i say we just get him next year cheaper and go for Yeo with our 3rd round this year. Also we should roll the dice and take Gartlett as he will be something special.
