Travis Varcoe

[Grand New Flag 3,226]

Regardless, he can play and should be considered.

[Grimes is Great 183]

Geelong have been trying to offload him for a couple of years

[Deestroy All 14,262]

I approve.

[Demons rising 52]

If he was so troublesome,how did he play 23 games in a top four side

Because he was allowed 2 mls of vodka in his water bottle.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I approve.

Now we just need picket fence's approval and it will be final.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

The mail i have from someone within the GFC inner sanctum, is that Mr Varcoe doesn't mind a punt, and has been in strife with it in the past. But hey, same with our newly appointed coach. So i'm not too concerned.

Not sure how I feel about being lumped in the same sentence as Picket Fence!!

As X musician once said!!

-insert shite song here-!!!

If Varcoe keeps Jimmy Toumpas out of the team it's alright with me!!!

Varcoe is no Ollie Wines!!!

Juice Newton!!!!

Bit of head wobble from some of the posters. We are currently fielding a team with Jordie Bloody Mckenzie. Has great acceleration, reasonable disposal, big game experience. Can't be any worse then what we've got.

No ones saying that, they're saying they wanted more.

[Left Field 313]

Any chance we could switch that trade for Matthew Stokes + a pick swap?

[Adzman 2,085]

I honestly thought we would investigate a 3 way trade with Geelong and collingwood. Varcoe for Clark seems straight forward enough. Would prefer a pick but Varcoe improves us even if only for a year or two while the kids develop.

[whatwhat say what 19,659]

Better than a speculative pick 55. Maybe.

[Vanilla Gorilla 204]

I think Varcoe would be a horrible addition!
Silky outside midfielder at the best of times, soft injury-prone downhill skier at the worst of times.
Can utilise his strengths at Geelong with strong inside midfielders feeding the ball out to him. Will not have the same luxury at the dees and will be found out.
Struggles to find his own ball and compete in one-on-ones.
Not the sort of player we need right now.

[Machsy 2,858]

This would not be a good result for MFC.

Varcoe is at a point in his life where his football will not get any better, and it'll be bloody surprising if he can maintain his current form.

Geelong will offer much better.

I bloody well hope so Machsy.

[Ted Lasso 17,110]

Wouldn't mind murdoch I think his name is, the quick bloke

[Return to Glory 7,795]

Has a Shannon Byrnes ring to it. He did well.

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Opinion from a bloke close to Geelong & a mate of mine:

"You can have him. No part of his game is contested, fumbles under pressure and don't even get me started on last years Prelim. Seems to have lost his pace as well".

Tend to agree Machsy.

To me Varcoe is definitely the kind of player who does well in a good side, where other blokes are doing the dirty work, but will struggle in a trash side like our own. I'd rather go someone who is seemingly of less 'value' but contributes every week and competes consistently.

Hopefully they'll offer something better.

[titan_uranus 22,741]

I don't rate Varcoe at all, never have.

Having said that, he currently has the highest winning % of any AFL player. So that's something. And we are Melbourne, so by default he improves us. And we can't expect a great deal for Clark. So all things considered, I'll live.

[Scipio 5,868]

He did, but unfortunately not at Melbourne.

I heard that's what it was going to be.

Don't think Mitch Clark will be enough to get the deal done. Looks good though! Big bodied midfielder Roos loves.

[daisycutter 28,684]

prefer their 2nd rounder to give to filth

or....i'd take murdoch
