Honestly, I think that's better value than I was expecting. He's not a star by any means, but a solid B-grader and certainly adds some depth and attack to the midfield.

Well, I reckon Varcoe is overrated, having said that he'll improve our team

 

Does anyone know if he is injured at the moment?


Meh...better than their pick 33 I guess

Edited by JV7

Honestly was hoping for a bit more

 

Just wondering if Varcoe is one of those players who do best in a strong team. As we say in Canberra, is he a leaner or a lifter?

This is one of the only things in football I can say I've got a link to... but I know Trav pretty well and he is terrific fella. I don't see him regularly enough to guarantee that I can find out if this trade is going to happen or not, but if I do get the chance I'll see what I can get. I'd be happy with him at the club though, has his 'moments' on the field so to speak but would inject some class into the forward half of the field.

From what I've seen in the last couple of years, class is one word I wouldn't use, however he would help a poor team like us I guess.

Mature players with speed who can carry the ball. Anyone seeing a theme? More than I thought we would get. Will improve our side.

Varcoe and Harry bring Premiership ability and 324 games of experience with them.

I can see why some would be worried..... the shock of this might be too much for some of our lot and they'd keel over.

Trade week hasnt even started......... going to be a different Melbourne in 2015

Honestly was hoping for a bit more

Then to be honest, you were hoping for too much.


It's exactly what Chook in Perth said.

The Ox and Chook in Perth have the same source it seems.

Well done chookie.

Reasonable trade as it's like for like.....

Clark is always injured and so is Varcoe.

I'm happy with that.

We get Lumumba and Varcoe, and probably Garlett for Blease and Gwilt for nothing.

We haven't even used our trump cards yet in picks 2 and 3.

That's gives us heaps of experience and outside run.

Next we will hopefully land a couple of ready made really good on ballers, Danger? Shiel? Treloar? Greenwood? Or a top three rated kid like a Brayshaw , or maybe even trade 2 and 3 for pick one and get Petracca?

Anyway you look at it we will have six ready made AFL players to lift our standard dramatically.

Varcoe + Pick 33


Wasn't there an issue with him struggling to put his hands above his head?

Played 23 games this year for a team that finished 3rd on the ladder .. he can play

Edited by joeboy

He is damaged goods. Proceed with caution.

edit: Please don't post allegations which are potentially defamatory

Edited by Grapeviney

 

Would take this trade in a hard beat.

At his best a few years back was one of the cats finest players.

He is damaged goods. Proceed with caution.

Edited: GNF - You need to proceed with caution too if you're going to make allegations like that.

And Mitch Clark isn't?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
