Why do Geelong supporters call Travis Varcoe "The Doctor"?

Question

im a cat supporter travis varcoe is a gun but im not sure why they call him "the doctor"

Answer 1

Cause he always fixes the "illness" or like turnoover and stuff on the ground.

And he can diagnose a situation easily.

Answer 2

The real reason he has the nickname of "Doctor" is that his surname rhymes, somewhat, with Zhivargo - from the well known movie "Doctor Zhivargo".

Whether you agree or not - that is the reason for him being called "Doctor".

Answer 3

I dont know but i can ask his old man

he only lives around the corner

Ive known trav since he was 5 and saw his 1st game

but i dont know about the doctor thing

he almost was a pie

he is a gun and will soon stand out as one of the best

Answer 4

Answer 5

He's a footy player in daylight
