Andrew Gaff V Reece Conca

[JCHolmes]

In a few years time we will be saying Gaff runs like a Ben Cousins imo. I mean he covers some serious ground. He does have weaknesses though. Martin, Cotchin, Deledio all tagged before Conca. If Conca was first tagged every week he would be playing poorer than Gaff was last year.

Gaff isn't first tagged at West Coast though. Being tagged last year was part of the problem but he also had a very poor year.

Conca shown more atm but when Gaff handles the tag he will be better

 

[matt_bas]

On current form Conca wins hands down, but my bias gives me a gut feeling that gaff will be better

 

[yarran13]

Conca just.

 

[WCEbrody]

Gonna have to stick with Andrew Gaff on this one.

Has improved his contested ball and defensive work, Also starting to cope with the tag much better.At his best i think he's a level above Reece and is incredibly damaging.

Conca is far more damaging, just ask Devon Smith.

 

[Bailey01]

One is a dirty sniper and the other a damaging and skilful young up and coming star

Gaff, comfortably.

Would love to slot him in alongside Liberatore, Macrae, Bontempelli, Griffen, etc.

Being at West Coast right now as a young player doesn't suit him, but give Sheed a couple of years and draft well and he'll be an outstanding mid. Gun.

 

[Jafa]

Conca is a fat ****er. Gaffs been feeding him biscuts.

 

[timtamWB]

Yep Gaff wins this one. I was wrong.

Gaff has had more tags than conca has had KFC 18 piece buckets, and is still miles ahead

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Good question.

Reckon both are yet to play their best footy consistently

 

[E Shed]

I don't get it with Conca. Just looks ordinary for mine.
Gaff has looked good recently.

 

[BomberBro2]

Conca has more aggression, he'll be better long-term by far.

 

[WCEbrody]

Still don't think Gaff was ever as soft as some in this thread claimed, he just came into the league looking like this -

Had the body of a marathon runner
Compare that to 2015 -

He's by no means Fyfe, but he's got a body to take the hits and win his own ball now.

 

[WCEbrody]

In term of the actual poll, Conca needs a massive 2016.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Gaff probably a bit ahead now but I think Conca still has him covered quite easily in the cuddles department.

 

[juss]

Gaff is better. We probably need more of Concas type though if he actually stays fit. Being an inside midfielder. Conca needs a big 2016 though, hopefully stays fit. Not a big fan of him though, has been very up and down at AFL level. Some of his disposal is horrible.

This thread can be shut down until such time as Reece can actually put together at least an AA squad level season. It's embarrassing at the moment.

More aggression towards blokes with their back turned not expecting an elbow to the head.
