Opinion Travis Varcoe

[mauricerioli]

He was a pretty good player a few years ago but his injuries have taken a toll.

Doesn`t look much like the Varcoe of 2010/2011 any more.

Far our, surely we flip the ball around as much as Geelong?

Ok then how do we fill this hole. If we go into next season with the same side we got now, i doubt we play finals & i dare say DH gets the sack & gives us sweet **** all chance of getting anyone decent through free agency, except if we over pay big time - we need to at least try and fill those holes now, show that we are a team with relevance & make the bloody finals

Varcoe to me just seemed the best option available and we could probably get him on a reasonable deal. Despite his overrated-ness, he still just finished 14th in their B&F which means he is no schmuck. The did finish top 4

I agree we need to fill this hole but I just think Varcoe isn't a good fit. The fact that a gun team over the last period of time, and he only gets 15'sp suggests that he is a little bit of a passenger and a no from me.

I haven't followed him that closely but 15 disposals a game is not that high in today's football. And good luck to him that he landed at geelong and got himself a few flags... but I don't think he would produce much on the field for us.
Rookie maybe?

Better then the all conquering Matty White

15p's in a team that flips the ball around a lot, isn't much to me. I watch a lot of footy and I think he is overrated.

Especially considering he's been playing as a loose half back, in a team whose gameplan is to rebound in waves from half back.

Only as a FA. Would not trade picks for him. So no for now.

He's a bit of a gamble but if we could get him cheap I'd take the punt. Normally a good user of the ball and has speed.

Average player in a good side. No thanks.
