Recommitted Reece Conca [re-signed]

[juss]

Hell no, I wouldn't want him at all at Essendon.

Mid to late 3rd rounder is his worth though.

It will be interesting to see what hes traded for given recent examples of Wellingham and Bastinac. He'll definetely be on an AFL list next year.

 

[Zach Package]

conca ' s best is much better than Howlett but he just can't get a good run of it because of injury.
If conca could get a couple of seasons in a row injury free he could be a solid 20-25th player .
Howlett will struggle to get a game for you guys next year and is a crab .
That is why essendon fans have been trying to offload him for years

Yeah, that's exactly why Conca is the reclamation project and Howlett is the reliable journeyman.

 

[schmuttt]

except melbourne's according to nathan jones

I think it is more to do with the fact Paul Roos just coaches a style that keeps exposing Hardwick. Us to you is like St.Kilda to us (Although we don't own anyone like the Saints own us).

You'll do a lot better against us with a better coach.

 

[La Dispute]

He looked pretty decent pre-draft.

I'd hand over our fourth rounder for him.

nathan jones's own words were we get up most for collingwood and richmond. wasn't having a dig just stating words from your own skippers mouth

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'd take a punt with a 3rd or 4th rounder. Would be a gamble though as he has copped a lot of injuries.

 

[Underdog]

Not particularly interested to be honest. He's better than some midfielders we have but we've already got too many of his type.

Would be best 22 if fit, no?

If everyone was fit and in form...not sure.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Well, having everyone "in form" might be a pipe dream.

All things being equal, he could offer more than Hutchings.

If Lamb is out the door, that could be a reasonable swap.

You can't base it on Conca being fit and in form but not giving everyone else the same concession. I see him in front of Hutchings and McGinnity but I don't see them as best 22.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Yeah, so on the basis that everyone is fit. Form is too fickle.

I see him in front of Hutchings and McGinnity but I don't see them as best 22.

I'd still take him if the cost is low. Add another AFL-ready mid under 25. He could even replace Ellis/Butler across HB if he doesn't click in the middle.

Suma Magic should write out a best 22 if WC were to recruit Conca.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Great player hampered by injury.
Should be a second rounder but....

#weareeveryonesgrandfinal

Great player? surely you're just.

 

[Morro]

Pre injuries he played well as a half forward with stints in the middle. Was hard at it, carried the footy and applied a lot of pressure around the ball

Nowadays he's apparently a half back with poor foot skills and suspect under pressure.

Bad coaching is bad.

Another club will see his potential and pay a 2nd rounder or trade a player who has similar potential

Gold Coast with 14 2nd rounders may dip their toe in as they need more mids.

Given he's still young Carlton could be tempted also.

Lamb would be a reasonable swap.

 

[ManOfClay]

What did Cale Morton get?

 

[The 747]

Not interested, don't rate him as an AFL standard player.

 

[dlanod]

What did Cale Morton get?

I have to assume it was a brain, because it wasn't a heart or courage.

Pretty red shoes?

 

[Jeremias]

Hasn't come on as expected but he's still young enough to turn things around and have a solid career.

Won't hold much value so you couldn't expect much more than a 3rd round pick being offered.

Not sure we'd bother but you'd think Brisbane may be interested.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Lamb would be a reasonable swap.

For you

 

[TigerTime88]

For you

Spare me you have a kid you have taken in the second round who has talent but hasn't done anything at AFL level.

Conca has shown he can play when he gets a run at it, he has had injuries but is a solid AFL when fit.

Truth be told I would prefer to keep Conca.

Lamb is a KPP he needs time to develop .He has shown plenty in the wafl .
We picked him up in the 2nd round due to perceived discipline problems .
Hasn't showed any since drafted .
Whoever gets lamb will get a bargain as he has talent and now 2 years of development .
No doubt if he was playing in a developing team he would have 10-15 games under his belt .

Happy for you to keep conca as he has shown he can't stay on the park, has fitness issues and is a dirty campaigner

Would have thought KPF would be the hardest position to break into at The Eagles and given your quality up forward you can probably afford to take a risk on 1st round midfielder who was tracking well pre injuries and could actually add some run to a fairly one paced midfield?

Lamb was always the type tthat would start hitting his straps at 22-23 by that time Kennedy would be retiring .
Lamb also knows he could be playing afl sooner if he played for a team in development needing forwards .

what round conca was taken is now irrelevant as he has enough exposed form to make a judgment.

As for one paced midfield you may need to keep him yourself
