Toast Trav Varcoe retires

[AndrewShawble]

Has been speculated but club making it official, Trav Varcoe has retired.

One of my favourite Pies, tackled to hurt and left it all out there.

Hope he stays on at the club to help develop the Indigenous pathways.

Thanks Trav for giving us beautiful moments such as kicking the first goal in the 2018 grand final

Seems like a good bloke and at his best he was a very entertaining and effective footballer. Losing his sister in 2018 must still be tough to cope with.

He made a quality contribution to the club. I might almost forgive him for the damage he did to us as a Geelong player!

I loved what Trav brought to this team. Gonna miss his hardness. This thread needs a montage of his bumps and tackles.

maybe he should go to another club that has a path that ends up with being drafted

Sitting him in the stands on game day, I used to just watch his chasing and pressure. He worked so hard.
Couldn’t pick it up on tv, had to be able to see the field.

 

[JOELY]

So sad we couldn't get it done for him in 2018. Would have been one of the best things I've seen in sport. The opening goal of the match still gives me shivers.

 

[Jen2310]

Thanks for everything Trav.

From the brilliant rundown tackle on Shuey. To his first goal in the GF

 

[TradeDraft]

Won that Trade Easily.

Well done Trav, absolute outstanding career. Hardness and pressure was just unreal, that 2018 finals series was unreal too. Do hope he stays around, we need more Indigenous youth coming into the club and he'd be the perfect role model to settle them around the club.

Best of luck to trav.

By retire to we mean exiting the club or taking up finger painting?

Congratulations on a great career. Very good pick up by Collingwood. Played some great footy for us.

Was one of the heroes of our 2018 finals series... playing on after the sudden loss of his sister.

Hope he gets a role at the club.

If Varcoe wants to take up finger painting fulltime more power to him. At least he's not cashing a cheque from the club at the same time.

Well done wrecking ball.

Thanks for what you brought to this club Trav, you played some good footy here.

I was worried that the trade that brought him to Collingwood was going to end up with the Pies behind the other two teams in terms output from the player they traded for, but in the end Varcoe performed very well and he was comfortably better than the other two involved in that trade.

Congratulations on a great career,Trav.You’ve always been a favourite of mine and many Collingwood supporters.I’m just sorry you couldn’t win one more flag with the Pies.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Always loved Trav the pie, not so much the cat.
Great acquisition and easily the best out of that 3 way trade.
Enjoy retirement Trav, your efforts were much appreciated. Loved your hardness at the ball and man.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Thanks and all the best for the future, Trav.

When he was on song, he was such a great player. Great speed, skills, and an uncanny ability to tackle and punish while doing it. We need another guy like him.

 

[Kappa]

Body was completely shot the last 3 years, but good player before that.

Good luck to him going forward

 

[PhatBoy]

Sorry not here to stir or anything - bad luck guys on last night, the week before took a fair bit out of you and you can still be pretty proud of your season, still plenty in store for the Pies.

I really liked Trav as a Cat and was very sorry to see him go but I’m glad you guys got some good value from him and seemed to accept him as part of the club and a worthy member of the black and white.

Best of luck in retirement mate.

An outstanding career and excellent person.

Not many better at crumbing off a pack at full pace.

Had a great career.
