Toast Travis Varcoe

[CFC2010]

At one point last night he got to the contest 4 times in a row. Was very please with his contribution. Hopefully he can keep it up.

That performance last night should be his benchmark from now on.

He is old enough, skilful enough, and he has "cleaned" up three players in three weeks so he is obviously physical enough.

Loved his pressure last night.........9 tackles must have been a world record for him.

Keep it up Varcoe

Was never a fan of his recruitment but games like last night will go a long way to winning the hearts of Pies supporters. That's the effort we need from him and consistency would be nice.

Reading the posts from a week ago, people already writing him off, jesus. He's still getting fitness back. He was pretty good last night. He'll be a bit up and down, but if he plays most games this year, no serious injuries, he'll get better and better.

His forward pressure from 2009-11 is back, now I'd like to see him get out the back and hurt the opposition more.

 

[DrDavoren]

Give him time, is exactly the player we needed and only playing 3 games at his new club is going alright. Liked what he brought Friday.

No way Young will get back in the team with the wrecking ball in town.

Uses the ball well and nice to see his attack on ball and man.

I didn't really notice the alleged laziness that he was lambasted for last week, but I certainly thought he was ineffectual. Fantastic performance and hopefully that becomes his new benchmark.

 

[THATSGOLD]

How much $ is he on?

 

[Markfs]

i hate him less this week than last week. If he keeps this up, I might only dislike him by the end of the year.

 

[BEEG]

Ling said before the injuries he was doing that stuff all the time but the last two years he had struggled with his body

Let's not be hasty.

Relevance?

 

[SpongePie]

Thought he was great on Friday night. Got a feeling he will be a but up and down all year, but even half a year of him playing like he did against the Saints ill gladly take

Surely Varcoe runs out to his own personal song next week, Wrecking Ball.

 

[Nuffsaid]

Maybe swing him in off sky cam?

 

[gtrain23]

Surely varcoe has his targets set on heppel/goddard/watson

That would be by Emmylou Harris, very nice

If he hurts them any more we'll be paying compensation. The guy is a velvet sledgehammer.

 

[Hardas]

I think one of the coaches must have had a word in his ear....different player last night

Yeah, he seemed to be a revelation defensively compared to earlier weeks.

 

[jmac70]

I'm not Varcoe's biggest fan but all credit to him for his performance on Friday night. Hope he keeps it up.

 

[Wooljay]

That one moment he had in the third (?) where he laid a tackl in our F50, and then smothered the resulting kick which then led to a goal for us was ****ing outstanding.

Acts like that are so, so underrated and it's why players like Blair can occasionally slip through the cracks in terms of praise.

Hope to see a lot more of that, will be essential for ANZAC Day.

 

[Markfs]

Let's not be hasty.

i'm trying to keep a positive attitude towards him because he's a pies player.... but i'm such a passionate supporter that I just cant stop hating him...

 

[THATSGOLD]

I think he will be up and down. Like us as a team.

 

[Bard]

Let's not be hasty.

 

[Mudeo]

One of his efforts in the forward line where he went 4-5 times effecting each contest was so good to see. He still has a few years left in him as well. Feels like he has been around forever. Im happy with the way all of our recruits are playing atm.

Quite unimportant really. Hes not on massive money and we are within the salary cap.
