How did we all rate Conca's year?

[taztiger4]

7 from me, no second year blues , most stats increased, harder at the ball this year,less mistakes

200 gamer I think

[cub]

6 Good steady improvement for a 2nd yeara - Ready for the great leap forward to propel us into finals 

[Smokey]

6 from me.  Played some good games and some average ones.  Like TT4 said, no 2nd year blues and increased most stats.  Still needs to impact on games more but I'm confident that will come with experience.  I think he will be an improver again in 2013.

[gerkin greg]

still needs to work on his monobrow to take it to the next level so I only gave him a 10

[jordie2tivendale]

Impressed with the boy but i wish he wouldn't dive on the ball all the time , gets pinged a lot needs to dispose quicker in heavy traffic

In his first yr.con a.got smacked in the head at least once a game
. Nae soft.

[Phil Mrakov]

He's a crap kick

[Penelope]

nah,normally pretty reliable.
he went through a period during the year where he panicked a bit and rushed when he had more time than he thought.

coincidently around the time went through our annual mid season form slump

[WilliamPowell]

Steady improvement

Good to see the tackle count on the increase

This too, I think more people should acknowledge his ability to play and stay upright when his head is so big.
People think he dives head first at the ball, he is over balanced because he has a head to body ratio like a toffee apple.
This disability may impact his ability to improve much more.

[Mr Magic]

Very steady improvement. Going to be a player.

[dwaino]

woah still pinching myself 

[Willy]

Like his hardness and his movement through traffic. Worry about his kicking.
