3.8 tackles a game isn't bad.

Was he playing as a defensive forward or is that just wishful thinking?

Blair might have some competition for his spot.

Premiership player, averages a goal or better a game, is quick and skilled. He's an impact player who is good for a goal or piece of brilliance but drifts in and out of games but he will fill a role as Sidebottom aside we struggle to find players to manufacture an unlikely goal.

My concern is he has injury issues but I'd much prefer him to Mitch bloody Clark for one. People were excited about getting him when he is a) from two shit clubs, b) injury riddled and c) not that good anyway.

Varcoe isn't the answer to our prayers but he has kicked 30+ a couple of times (albeit in a much better side than we are) and is a v/good shot on goal which are in scant supply at Collingwood.
Keep reminding me Flashman.....you're almost (not quite) convincing me. :?
I'm still desperately trying to convince myself Rudey.

To add insult to injury, Balme has told the Brions that the Cats will accept pick 21 (traded in for Patful) for Christiansen... makes pick 23 for H seem very reasonable. Maybe they should keep Varcoe, ontrade 21 for Clark, and we'll take 21 for H.

T Armstrong, J White, C Young, T Varco.

All soft as butter, all should be playing magoos, all have contracts at Collingwood. WTF?? imagine all of these washouts on the park all at once. it'll be like watching clowns trying to climb a wall with roller-skates on.

Varco???? oh please. another disinterested player on the list.

enjoy your holiday in Baliwood Varco.

Us hardmen & women behind the keyboards give notice to collingwood that the players who work their butts off are soft.

Not like us.

We train harder, put ourselves in the centre of packs, we never duck, never flinch, never mis a kick, never miss a mark , never miss a handball, - we know we are a lot tougher never having played AFL before we all speak from experience.

Slice it and dice it anyway you like.

If it's a done deal and it's out: Lumumba in: Varcoe then it's a loss.

Seriously everyone should lay off Blair. He works harder than any other player on the field. Spend a quarter just watching his chasing efforts and then compare it to how hard the rest of the team works.
