A much-improved year, nonetheless.
I've had to change my tune on Varcoe. At Geelong, I thought he was a soft, outside runner with inconsistency ruling his game (as, I think did most Cats supporters). But he has been exceptional for us this year - his tackling top notch. However, I always watch the second year of a recruit with much more interest - will they still maintain the fire?
Jack Crisp, who was involved in the Beams trade has been pretty good for us and a surprise. However, his past month has been a bit quiet, not that he's on his Pat Malone there.

Yeah, I should extend it to 2nd year players, there hasn't been a lot this season but there seems to be plenty that are in their second season, Yeo springs to mind.

Like Maric, I've never been able to fathom the Crows moving him on.

Bernie was a victim of circumstance and his value at AFC was very different to that of MFC. Iam stoked that he is doing well. If we didnt have the trade sanctions from the Tippet saga, id suggest he would still be at AFC. I think him changing clubs has certainly matured him as a footballer. Its great to see.
As for Maric, once again his opportunity at another club was greater than 2nd ruck at Adelaide.
Often a change of environment gets the best out of a player

Now he is relentless in his tackling, his second efforts have been awesome and his goal sense has improved out of sight. Could have done that in the hoops you ****. That's two years in a row this bloke has made me tear my hair out LOL.

thats because they didnt move him on. Chose a two year contract whereas crows would only offer 1.

Stumps wrote:fair enough. I get a bit sensitive about this because a lot of crows people think he was absolutely shafted by the crows. At that point in time he was playing average footy and looked slow in our team he is clearly not in the crows next premiership side so 2 years would have seemed alot the way he was playing. In the end you could say the crows stuffed up but would he have been playing the same sort of footy here? not sure.
