Toast Trav Varcoe retires

[domus]

Loved the way you went about it, Trav. All heart and courage. Good luck and best wishes as you enter the post footy phase of your life. I hope you maintain some connection with our club.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

His shoulders may have aged but his hardness remained. Best of luck in your future endeavours Trav.

 

[GoDaics]

Thought he was a very good player , hard at it and natural footballer just injuries and age caught up with him. Good luck Trav.

 

[Drought Break]

Congratulations on a great career. Very popular player amongst the players and supporters

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Congrats to Varcs on a great career. Was so happy when he came across to the Pies in 2015. With him came his pace and high pressure and those bone crunching tackles.
Will be missed running around in a Pies jumper, but thank you for the great memories....

 

[Prochard123]

Strong contributor.

How much salary cap would his retirement alleviate?

 

[Anzacday]

For a little man he packed a mean bump.
Thanks Varcs.

 

[gouki88]

I'll miss him. Game went past him, as it does all, but he served us well for years. Almost entirely forgiven for 2011!

That 2018 run was incredible from him. To do what he did under such shite circumstances was very admirable. I hope he joins Wells in the indigenous community programs

 

[Cold Sober]

One of the good ones, enjoyed the way he played and think most opposition supporters would back me up.
Well done on a great career.

 

[Robroy22]

Well done Trav. Been a real goer and a much loved figure at both the Cats and the Pies. Class always shows and you've had it in bucketloads. Enjoy retirement and hopefully you'll get to work in indigenous pathways for the AFL or Pies like you wanted to.

 

[joff]

Been great for us one of those trades you just know was always going to be great for us wish him all the best in retirement

 

[peter9789]

I wish Trav nothing but the best in retirement. A true champion at the Cats showing that hard running off the ball when you are spent was real courage - hard at it, great skills and just about best on ground in the last quarter of 2 winning grand finals. Good on you Travis, and a great time at the Pies as well. Great respect to the Pies for getting him - he seemed really happy with you.

 

[Len Smith Medallist]

Congratulations on a great career to a tough, skilful player who got every bit out of his talent and hard work. Rapt that you were able to continue and contribute so much at Collingwood. Can only imagine your frustration at having to put up with the racist bullshit that keeps cropping up and diminishing our club. Best of luck for the future and I hope you shirtfront whatever role you want to take up right down the middle.

 

[grayza2018]

Congrats on a great career Trav, we got some good years out of him and was always great to watch when up and flying.

All the best in retirement!

 

[Carringbush2010]

That run down tackle on Schuey in the 18 QF and that hip and shoulder in the game against the tigs in the same year. PHWOAR!

 

[jackcass]

Good luck to him in whatever he does going forward. Was a great addition to our squad, won the hearts and souls of we supporters.

Disappointed he only managed 92 games at the club, largely due to a couple of injury interrupted seasons.

 

[Horaceg]

Excellent career Varcs, you will be missed by the Collingwood faithful, timing is right, enjoy retirement, loved what you brought to the Club.

Had some special moments and walks out with his head held high.

Only regret for me, didn't get to 100 games in black and white.

 

[jsdsgn]

One of the best front and square players youll ever see in his prime. Used to give me nightmares when played for Geelong.
His tackle on Shuey is one of the best tackles Ive ever seen. Ill show that to my grand children.
His 2018 finals series was inspiration and the first goal of the GF will always get me up and about.

 

[The jouneyman]

Well done trav on a great career...2 flags to your name...not many players can say that...you where an absolute warrior bud,all the best to you and your family.

 

[Cyclops]

What a great career, topped off with two flags at the Cats. Fast, skilled and brave, literally his only weakness was injuries.

We saw so much great footy from him, and that was despite the pain.

 

[mike123]

I liked watching him play but I don’t think we got the best out of him. Overall the was too unselfish, happy to do the unrewarded running and chasing. Happy donto get the ball and pass of off the responsibility to someone else. Some with his speed and skills should have been demanding more handball receives and taking the game on more.

Will miss his run down tackles.

 

[grayza2018]

All the best in retirement Trav, thanks for the memories in black and white! A great career, just a shame we didn't get over the line in 2018

 

[left at home]

To Travis and his family, all the best for the future.
Had a brilliant career here and the cats, unlucky not to be a three time premiership player. A team first player, great person, best wishes to you.
