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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    He did, but unfortunately not at Melbourne.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.
