Player Watch #30: Reece Conca

[JAKLAUGHING]

Good luck Reecey...
Your a p***k buddy...

 

[T4P]

Devastating. Finally got his body right and cops a freak injury. Really hope that's not the end of his career, and that he recovers with no long-term complications.

 

[PuntRoad Celt]

Nothing more Tigerish than a Bloody Tiger!

Keep on Keepin on, Reece. After all youve been through, know that The Tiger Army is behind you.

Terrible. He is a good player when he gets a good run at it, but hasn't been able to since 2013. Hopefully it's not the end for him but with his injury history and the severity of the injury the game might be past him by the time he fully recovers. Best of luck Reece

 

[BF Tiger]

That really sucks for Reece. Was playing his best footy and this happens. Jack spoke glowingly of him after the game and was awesome to see the team get around him as he was stretchered off the ground.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Poor bastard haven’t seen a bloke so unlucky with injury. Had his spot cemented too

 

[DrMike]

It appeared to me as though Franklin knew he had given away the free kick, and heard the umpire's whistle, before continuing with his tackle anyway.

I am not suggesting that Franklin tried to cause this injury.

What I am suggesting is that Franklin's gross disrespect for the rules of the game played a part in this injury occurring.

Will anything happen to him as a result? Of course not.

A few years ago, Lindsay Thomas played within the rules of the game and caused a similar injury to this. Rules were changed as a result.

In this case, Franklin had already broken the rules, and continued breaking them, leading to this injury.

Good to see the Tigers players getting around Conca once he was lifted onto the stretcher mobile.

It doesn't matter mate. Witch hunt doesn't help Conca. Just let it be.

I'm so sad.

I just put a NSFW tag on this because some people might not want to see that.

I think you saw the same thing I did

I cant stand franklin, but he did nothing wrong, was a freak injury and it happens in contact sports.

Shit really feeling for this bloke - gonna be bloody rough coming back from that - especially with the history he has with soft tissue.

Looking at the image could be issues with both the leg and ankle. That's 107 kilos of Buddy on him.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Geezus reecey we were rolling along real good too!....

 

[Mr Magic]

Bad luck, all the best for Reece, hope to see him well asap!!!!

 

[KiwiTiger]

Reece's dad Lou helped hold the banner up for his son's milestone game. Reece breaks his ankle. So sad for the family.

Haere Ra

 

[THE_GUN]

Here's hoping it's not as bad as it looked. Is a serious player.

Fingers crossed for him.

Unlike the response i recieved from some of the collingwood posters on your board when i posted a get well message for Treloar i wont tell you to go and ****

Thats for your concern and its good to see opposition supporters having sympathy for a bloke that has a season ending injury

Thanks

 

[Captain_Bender]

Poor bloke can never get a break every time he looks to be playing good footy he ends up getting injured

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Ahh, poor Reece. It's almost like someone put an ancient curse on his legs.
Here's hoping it's clean and he can come back from it as quickly as Rioli did.

If Conca comes home and needs some cuddles I'm ready any time

 

[Maylandsman]

****. Just ****.

According to Grigg at the MRC after match function, it's a dislocated ankle, which is better than a break. A chance to get back before the year's out.

Hope you're right, this guy has no luck.
