Agree - We need these types out there. We have too many bad users of the Ball

Thats why I'm also an advocate of putting Varcoe in the backline, Marsh over Frost (slightly better skills but more rebound) and not dropping Maynard.

I am happy where Varcoe is playing. Help to Deliver the Ball well to the Forwards and playing best Footy in his Career

I just felt like he was playing better in the backline where he uses his speed more, and played his best games down there against top teams like the Hawks and Freo

Yeah but some clubs get it closer to an exact Science than others, such as we did the year we got Thomas at 2 and Pendlebury at 5.

Hine and Wells are probably the best who have done it in recent times

Personally, I think Graham Wright at Hawthorn does as well as anyone., as well as Wells even!

Wright is a Great Trader but I am not 100% Sold on him at the Draft Table

Um complete opposite actually. Pretty sure Leon made it clear he wanted to play but we couldn't fit him with our salary cap at the time. Of all our exits from the last few years (except Beams) he is the only one that i really wanted to stay for another year or two... But the fact no other club offered him a contract (although he only wanted to play for us or in perth) means that the rest of the AFL agreed with our take on it.

Weird that no club took a punt on a bloke who was just named All Australian, and was only 30.

Apparently we offered him 150k and he wanted 250k.

We only had 150k spare in the cap when he decided he wanted to play on. He told the club he was going to retire after 2011 and the club spent their TPP's accordingly, then he got the shits when we 'insulted' him by offering him the last $150k we had spare.

It was surprising that no other club picked him up though. He was amazing playing off a hbf in 2011.

Maybe controversial but Neon Leon in 2011 was the best small defender I've ever seen.

His ball use was amazing to watch, pinpoint targets like a tracer anywhere in D50 and he was unstoppable in 1 on 1 contests.

I think he never got the recognition he deserved because of his poor finals record and the way he left the club.

He went at something like 90% DE for the season didn't he? It was unheard of. You always knew he was going to hit his target when he had the ball. It's a shame they didn't move him back there earlier in his career.

I felt so warm and cozy when he was taking the kickouts.. in the last few years I more close my eyes and pray it goes to a 50-50 contest :$

I think they eventually worked the figure up to about $200,000 from memory.
