I like Conca when he is up and going, got a lot of upside. But right now he is just underdone, should play 2's to get some form and confidence.

He's a stuffn dud passenger player.

Dumbest 3 year signing in club history.

Now with his body being weak as pee, he's a massive liability.
Would rather have shown some loyalty and stuck with whitey

Luke McGuane says "hello, hello"
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He wins plenty of hard ball and did so Thursday night. Ran out of legs in the last as did many but the kid can play. Massive over reaction by some.

All these guys that are bagging Conca must ask themselves one question - how easy would it be if you yourself tore your hamstring off the bone? Most guys here would be on crutches for months. This guy has been able to get back and do modified training. He is clearly underdone but he'll get better.

Yep bad injury takes time to get over. From personal experience I did a partial tear in my hammy and it's plagued me ever since. Obviously I didn't take the care and have the experts Conca has, but it does put it into perspective how bad it can be. I didn't play sport for a year just to do it again first game back.

Yep. Some 'supporters' are just ignorant idiots.

Reece's interview on Talking Tigers ...

VIDEO: http://www.afl.com.au/video?guid=629318


* I’ve pulled up well. It’s been a bit of a confidence booster. I’m still working on getting the body match fit. Obviously, I’m off a pretty limited pre-season but I’ve pulled up really good and I’m looking forward to this week and just getting another game under the belt.

* It takes a fair while. During pre-season we do a lot of game stimulation stuff - 18 vs 18 – which essentially is almost like a game just not as long a period. They’re pretty important especially pre-Christmas. It holds you in good stead.  So when you miss a lot of that you’re a little bit behind. I’ve still only played three full games all year so I’m working on that.  I’m doing extra conditioning at training and just trying to get all over it. I think my body’s starting to get in a pretty good spot now.

* Improvement? A bit more composure and times and my kicking efficiency’s probably got to get up a little bit. I want to try and push forward and kick some more goals.  You see Cotchy, Lids and Dusty, these sort of guys, who you know are pretty influential with the amount of goals they can kick. So if I can get that up it’d be a really good step in my development. And then obviously defensively I’ve just got to work on some stuff.  It’s such a massive part of the game these days.

Cnt find other thread and CBF'd looking for it.

This kid is a liability.
Always gets done fir holding the ball or the man.
Misses goals in front.
Runs like a wacko at a poo  fight and is a poofter.

What did anyone see in him or expect him to become ?

Haven't watched the replay but can say watching at the game last night (ground level at the Gabba) thought he was very good last night his best game this year by a long way

Seriously  ;D

Translation?

Something about the Saints, Heppell and lady's boy?

Have to say Heppell was ordinary in the last qtr when the game was on the line, didn't like the body hits  ;D
