Well I hope everyone picks this guy over Varcoe cos personally I think Varcoe is a safer option. Too many times people (me included) have been seduced by a sudden change in role or a few good games in NAB or season proper. (thinking Whitecross last season). he may do well for a while then drop right off.

Varcoe will be off a half back flank at times and is always best 18 I'm pretty sure. Kicks goals is fit plays for Geelong.

He only has to do well for a little while. I would be happy if he can avg 75-80 for the first 8 weeks

Fanfooty podcast mentioned that Vossay said they were only trialling him on the wing during the nab cup and in the season proper they'd really want to use him as a fwd.....can anyone verify this? I've been looking for the post match interview but haven't been able to find it.

Also last night on the telecast they showed a stat saying he's had the most uncontested possessions out of anyone during the nab cup...pretty worrying sign on how he'll go during the actual season.

Have not heard anything either on that regard mate.  But an observation is he was playing the role that Staker played prior to his injury and using his height to float and mark around the ground.  Hence the number of uncontested possessions.  Has worked well in the NAB cup and would seem silly to change game plan as it gives Lions so much run. Coaching staff Interview on Tuesday may be interesting then.
