Conca's latest injury is typical of the player he is. He sastained that injury because he failed to do the simple thing of using the first option when he had the footy.
It sums him up imo.

I re-watched the first quarter again yesterday and there was another instance where he was just to lazy to chase his man which resulted in an Adelaide goal. The footage was from behind the goals and he showed no respect to his opponent.

I've liked Conca in the past but the reality is he is barely up to AFL standard. He does some really good things but then does some things that make you think he is never going to be more than just back up. All players that are drafted have talent so they are all going to have good parts in games but it's the ones that minimise their mistakes that become good AFL footballers.
Rance is the perfect example of this, he showed he had something in his first few years but the knock on him was his brain fades, but he has learned to minimise those as well as improve his good stuff.

I'd trade him out at the end of the year. We as a club need to make tough decisions on these types of players.
He unfortunately has been a flop and pick 6 has been wasted.

Can't believe I'm saying this but losing Reece hurts I reckon. Was playing well.

I'm hearing Griffiths might be done and will retire due to concussion issues.

Injury update

Physical Performance Manager, Peter Burge, provides an update:

As mentioned in the other thread, Vlastuin has a fracture of his right scapula. Out for 3-4 weeks.

Townsend - right to go this week. Needed a week of no footy after that poke in the eye.

Edwards - resumes skill training this week. So if all goes will should be ready to play.

Conca - Injury can come in varying degrees (minor to serious). He's be in a boot for the next 2-3 weeks. If his foot has healed after taking off the boot then he can progress towards normal training.

Prestia - They narrowed it down to a slight hammy. 50/50 call although given his limited preseason he's more likely to miss this week. Good news is there's no issues with is knee. His training load will increase towards the second half of the season and he should be hitting his peak by then.

Graham - running on the alt-G. We need to get him to the stage where he can run carrying his own body weight. Still 4-5 weeks away. He's a young player so we will take our time to get him right as he'll be a long term player for us.

Broad - Doing conditioning at the moment. He's scheduled for a round 11 return.

What don't you like about George?

I know you don't think he is a good kick but is that it?

Wasn't there a recent article about, how Conca has finally put his injury infested career behind him?

Like a week before this? :rollin

Sheds could come in for one of either Castagna or Butler I reckon. Naturally plays better as a forward and has good hands in close. Of course we should be developing the kids but if they are tired I am sure Sheds would be a good addition
