Didn't dream it, people here are tarring him with the missed shot last year. Geez, for a third rounder you could do far, far worse than Varcoe

There is a reason why cats fans are willing to part with him for a third rounder and its not one missed shot.
Seen him too many times at big moments where he can barely spot up a simple target. Exactly what we don't need more of.

He's a bit of a surplus for them ATM. They've done a good job getting some speedy runners into their midfield that look to have eclipsed Varcoe. For a 3rd rounder I'd take a shot on him.
Yeah I guess he could be MacKay's comedy sidekick

Varcoe has played well in plenty of big games.

Our top 5 highest paid players are in this category
To be fair, the reason I wouldn't want him is he'd probably get a spot in front of Charlie and that's not cool
Third rounder is about spot on for both of them.
Marchbank or Lever are the players I want in the draft this year
Strong names.

Has Lewis-Thompson still got good footy in him?
Worth grabbing as insurance whilst we develop KPP/backup ruckmen if we delist some of our dud talls?

Will that be a McGrath-Warne-Langer type gutting of the side when this lot aren't at the Swans anymore?

Only 2 of them are playing, so not really.
... but no more COLA (for higher paid players) will impact on them keeping players...
The cupboard is empty. Stewart signing didn't change that anyway BTW.
We really shouldn't be talking about this years free agents, hopefully we are getting into the ears of next years and 2 years time free agents. So.... who are they?

There's a thread about 2015's free agents here: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/list-of-2015-free-agents.1043079/
I find it concerning that Andy Otten is a restricted free agent, and therefore is one of our higher paid players

Trade him now
That's the same thing we said last year
aren't they all restricted 7-10 years ?? going by the list it seems so
Would Malceski be worth looking at for the same reason. Insurance for our defenders.

Top 10 of 40 players, and his last contract would have been higher based on expected output. He hasn't matched the expectations since, and without FA it's fair to say his next contract would, or at least should, be right back in the middle.
No

No. You don't pursue free agents to be sitting in the SANFL as insurance, and he's not young enough or good enough compared to what we already have to be worth pursuing, and that's without getting into his knees.

Don't think we have a shortage of HBF/wingmen types - even though he is quality.
I mentions LRT as we may no longer have (a combo of) Graham, Smack, LJ, Rutten, L Thompson, so may need some experienced depth whilst we develop the younger guys in case we get some injuries.
