Roast Varcoe

[vinum coupe]

Start playing footy buddy.
This isn't a gliding contest.

It looks great, but smoothly working around the pack without laying a bump, tackle, intercept, or winning the ball does jack for me.

My favourite player to watch.

But buddy, you're waiting for the award winning run down the middle too much.

Do something!

Has been amongst the best the last 2 weeks and was reasonable today I thought.. Definitely contested, not sure what you're talking about..

 

[Turbocat]

Was never going to play well today , he went for a drive down Media street this week and its amazing how often a players go's crap after that

 

[Craigyboy]

Very, very harsh thread.

He was amongst our best in the first two Rounds.

2 stars? Easy marker Cometh.

I was getting frustrated with him today being handball happy. He would be in a position to have a shot himself, but would always try to pass it off instead.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

i was going to give some advice, then i remembered how much was left over from last year.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

A bit harsh.

As for tackles, he got a few, and chased all game.

Not according to the AFL stats. 0

 

[Vdubs]

He is being groomed to be our playmaker, did you notice 44 hanging onto him the whole match? He still made a lot happen out there today. You are a harsh judge. He handballed a lot today, but they worked. And he might have kicked 2 goals today that were usually certs.

 

[Big Nasty]

Thought there would have been worse players on the ground to make a thread about, especially after his last 2 games.

Mooney... Now he's been struggling.

 

[bobbycatsfanme]

why would Varcoe wanna turn up today anyways against one of the worst teams in the competiton?

He will wait for the next weeks game and the week after when it really matters Bigtime player loves the big stage to excel not today's crap in an 80 point win.

 

[Berserker26]

Ridiculous thread, we thrash the other team and you roast a bloke who had 21 pretty decent touches...

 

[CF]

while he has had a couple of excellent games in the first 2 rounds I have to agree with the OP for today. He wasn't putting too much effort into things and just looking for the easy ball. I am sure he just had a bad day today that's all.

Liked his last 2 games, they were... promising.
I love Varcs. Truly. And I am going to be harder on him now. I want more.
It's no longer 'being groomed' it's 'make a difference' time.

We were told that this year was about harassment, containment, etc.
It's only because I want the ball in his hands that I watch him so much.
But he peels away from the contest.... All the time

No more please. Make a difference up the ground or just stay in a pocket.

 

[Gladbaqs]

I know where you're coming from.

I really want Varcoe to be Geelong's best player.

And I want it now.

 

[maryjames]

Another game another great win and other thread bagging a Cat player. Last week it was Ling this week its Varcoe.. Hate to see what it be like if we were losing..

That should have been my opening post.

There would be about a dozen threads bagging players

Its cos we have had a glimpse of what he can do..... so we demand and long for it every minute of the game...

Hopefully he gets there sooner rather than later

you miss the point completely. The Op is not bagging Varcoe at all just criticising what was a below par effort from him today. Travis will be a star noone has said any different in this thread

 

[The Casey Cat]

Might be a little harsh but can see where the OP is coming from. Too much damn handballing and trying to be cute today from Trav rather than bursting through and killing teams with his kicking like he can do.

And defensively his attempts at tackles today were bloody awful. Port players casually stepped around or broke his tackles with ease all day. Kelly or Bartel need to give him a quick lesson this week on aiming the tackle at the hips and locking it in hard.

 

[bobbycatsfanme]

Sim Dog................Varcoe is our best defensive player in the team alongside Boris. He is like Alwyn Davey and Rioli when applying the pressure and is probably the best tackler at doing exactly what you reckon he needs to learn from Kelly and Bartel
I'm not sure what his stats are but he would have to lay the most tackles per game.

Gotta agree with many in here, this thread is bloody ridiculous! Am not surprised though considering the thread starter is an infatuated Collingwood lover ('yeh', they have surpassed the 3-peat Lions......my ass!")

I hope so. B/c if he doesn't get there, we never will.
