This game is pretty good proof of the value Varcoe provides, even if he's possession count isn't high. He gets in low, wins the ball and frees up teammates. Chases and tackles like maniac. He simply must come back in - he just influences contests in our favour so often.
We needed him out there tonight, laying some more bone crunching Shuey chasedown tackles. Instead we got Levi and Stephenson both played out of position, Aish and JT struggling with the tempo, and a dysfunctional forwardline that burned a hell of a lot of chances.
