perception is one thing and reality is another, not sure what shawitzi your smoking WP

Conca is no where near the standard of Ellis.

Ellis is a very good player who will give A grade status a nudge in the coming years.

I'd agree with that , Ellis has a few more tricks up the sleeve, carries the ball, elite thumping kick and manages to find the pill a tad more. Conca is a slow burner and is continuing to improve , space bw the two right now though

I like Conca because I've never seen him pull out of a contest

As coach said Conca is "harder" and "tough", have been a number of times when I been concerned with Ellis not attacking the contest. Yes he has got better at it and it isn't as bad as it was early on. Agree he is a better kick than Conca but at the "hard it" and tackling stakes Conca is the better option right at the minute.


LMAO at it being daring to trade Ellis for pick 1 or 2 :lol He's a good player but that's ridiculous WP. GWS would be wanting more than that.

Yep you're probably right Coach, package him up with Morris or Foley and you'd easily get pick 1 or 2  ;D

Conca hasn't had a full pre season yet. He's on track for one around 2018-19

Word filtering through now that Brisbane have accepted West Coast's offer of pick 28 for Elliott Yeo.

News coming through from 3AW is that West Coast and Carlton may do a straight swap with a player for Josh Bootsma.

GWS' pick 48 is set to be sent to the Swans for Jed Lamb who was pick 21 in 2010. The Swans must either accept the deal or watch Lamb walk to the Giants in the PSD.

Lamb is a player I wouldn't have minded, 48 sounds like a steel..

Ellis is clearly a class above Conca IMO.

Ellis > Vlastuin > Conca IMO.

I don't think Conca's as tough as either of the other two, and certainly not as good by foot.

Vlas will be the best of the 3.

Ellis runs harder. Conca goes harder at the pill and his kicking will improve as he gets fitter.
Hard to really compare them as they are different players.

Probably wanted to stay in Sydnos.  Can already see the wedge Sydney have driven into themselves trying to be too clever.

LMAO at those that think Adams is better than Conca

picked that insight up from watching 1 GWS game a year?

lololol


I reckon he is and I rate Conca, except for his kicking.

That's unfortunate Tony
Conca's disposal is better than Adams', think he is a classier player

So two first round picks and a player for Big Boy?
Where have all the whingers gone?
