Travis Varcoe

[Del65166]

Why do I feel like we're Geelong's Adelaide?

chapman? yes for a year cos he's an extreme talented forward
hunt? maybe
varcoe? no way

Broken. Soft. Ordinary. No.

Tells what you think UTG .............. by the way I agree. Better kick but JON Mark II for me.

Completely agree. Average player. Not 22

I say no thanks. ...

If we want a mid/half forward, there are a couple of better options on the market:

Chappy - will come cheaper (salary and no trade required), better player (3 premierships, norm smith, all australian, best and fairest etc etc), leadership qualities
Savage - same sort of pace/goalkicking x-factor player as varcoe but without the injuries, would like be much cheaper in terms of trade and salary I would think

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Would have him for the right price (both trade and salary wise) - would be a handy replacement for White and bring some pace into the side. Still youngish so fits in with our core age group and has a bit of x factor which we lack IMO.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Reckon he is a terrific player but sadly he breaks down putting his jumper on.
Couldn't entertain for that reason.

 

[ScallyWag1]

I'd be all for him if he passes a relatively stringent medical.

 

[Harmichael]

Tambling wasn't totally bereft of talent, he was just lazy, soft, mentally weak and a poor reader of the game.

Varcoe is what Tambling would've been had he pushed himself, become a supreme gut runner, had more courage, a stronger mind and at least a vague idea of the game.

 

[Spluff]

He's a minor upgrade on White at best - I wouldn't want to sell the farm for him.

 

[TheProwler]

Is a big game player and gets the job done in finals, just like the match winning goal in the prelim vs the hawks. Oh wait, he missed that didn't he

Yeah just like he missed that one in the 2011 GF. Oh...wait...

And overrated. Agree.

 

[Rimmer]

I think his best is ahead of him and its with the cats

Not sure about that -don't think he'll ever reach the heights of 2011 again- but people virtually labelling him a hack is quite laughable.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Think commetti said it best. He's a luxury in a final.

Meanwhile at Richmond, they pick up Geelongs dead wood and allow the cats to pick up Adams....Is all of this serious? How about instead of getting Chapman and Varcoe we go and get a young kid with promise?

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Number 1 problem is that we need to give someone of substance to get some one of substance.....problem is most people here think our players are "untouchable" and just want to organise trades with Nahas and the like.

Good player, would have decent currency on the open market

 

[TheProwler]

Yeah fair call. Would be a pretty good outside player and has speed but his downside is he goes missing for too long in games.

**** a forgot about that hack! What a crack up, wins the game against Melbourne

 

[KingJ]

Terribly out of form.

 

[Madtiger2006]

I'd love a fit varcoe. He would fill the hole left by white. We need run and carry
