Trav Varcoe

[kazam]

he's 370k, and on the bubble. i am looking at getting in goddard for silvagni next week. after i do that, my backs, mids and rucks are fine for the moment barring injury... my forward line of: rok, pav, franklin, pods (those 4 are fine) and ziebell, tippett and peterson with Fyfe and Roberts on bench.. can upgrade peterson to a player around 420k nxt week... considering trav varcoe - he has score 108 and 95. and has apparently done best pre season he's done, only 22 so could be coming of age year, i know geelong are expecting big things of him. whats everyones thoughts on that trade and on varcoe?

[Streisand]

Provided he doesn't get suspended, i'm getting him this week in the place of hall.  I had him at the start of the season but had to trade him before SC went live cos of his broken hand.

[MissPiesFF]

Why would you upgrade Peterson when he is pretty much a guaranteed benchie. Trade some one else.

[GDRAGONS]

im same as you streisand had him start then he broke his hand i thought he was gonna be a good unique in forward at start of the year but seems now alot of people are trading him in for BBB or others potential breakout year trav varcoe after a good pre season cats just keep getting stronger

[Griffo1982]

I'm considering bringing him in for Brennan if he's going to be injured for a lengthy period jut not sold on him due to the "Aboriginal goes missing" factor that they all seem to suffer from, but who knows in a winning side he cold be consistant but when Corey comes back in he may not get as many bursts in the center as he has done the last 2 games.
Lots of factors to consider with him i think.

[SCADDICT]

He relies on kicking goals to score well. Just remember that. I would look elsewhere personally. But he could be a nice unique I guess.

[Jugganauts]

Hopefully when Corey comes back and Stokes Varcoe wont be kicked out of the side if so Hall to Varcoe

[Alex7089]

No, just don't see him as a fantasy player. Going well the last couple of weeks but my bet is when Corey comes back his scores will be back down.

[SCADDICT]

Thats if Corey ever comes back and if  he comes back at full ability. Not looking good by latest reports...

[Alex7089]

Anybody got any idea when Corey will be back? Was a late pullout and was supposed to be back the next week and just never came back. Similar to Ottens last year

[SCADDICT]

Injury list says the dreaded 1-2 weeks, i.e absolutely no idea.

[Wilkopolis]

Never been a huge fan of Varcoe.  Will make you short term cash due to his early scores, but isn't a genuine premium.  I don't think Corey will be a huge threat to his scores (different role & underdone anyway), but Stokes may very well scab some of the goals Varcoe might otherwise kick.

If you have bench coverage for Brennan then I'd wait & upgrade to a definite keeper.  If you have Hall then you might as well wait until he kicks a bag (surely has to happen some time) and recoups a little bit of value.

Ah ok I was just wondering because he is way to cheap and could keep falling

[CFC 1979]

yes typical geelong 1-2 weeks from balmy

that could mean 10 weeks

definately has a knee injury but maybe geelong are taking the rest approach with Corey as with all senior players

i am actually using him on the field at the moment - thats my issue. i do have fyfe on the reserves who could play in my 22 for peterson though.
