Henry Playfair a Swan

[CIGNUS]

I cant understand why LRT is still in consideration. He is far too slow off the mark and gives everyone a heart attack whenever he's under the pump to compete for the ball, let alone use it effectively. If he didnt offer some height, he would have been punted already! But he does provide comic relief on occasions.

What's the better half's opinion of Bevo?

I am not sure Nico has done any tossing over him.

So doubt his wife is involved

Playfair is a great pickup I put bet %100 Roos will use playfair exactly like Adam Hunter, were he is switched to the forward and backline when it suits.

I hope we are looking to play Playfair in defence -

Im officially leading the play Leo as a forward bandwagon. Leo is our best contested mark - contested marking is not the strong point of our current forwards.

Great pick up for Sydney as Geelong had no room for a player with more development in him. He's played some great footy this year and will add the height that's desperately needed.

Playing great footy in the VFL is considerably different to AFL level. His one game in the Seniors was the Port loss - where he dropped several marks and then coughed up the ball for Ports winning goal.

However - I do agree with you his height is more than welcome. Maybe he can be groomed into the monster defender we've been crying out for. I just find it strange Roos is talking him up as a forward.

Roos is a master as mind games.........

So he can lumber around at both ends....great.

Please use him down back, Paul. We don't need another tall forward yet.

I disagree with that. I still think we are one 'genuine' tall short in the forward line.

Significantly better than the ACTAFL apparently

Leo played much of his early footy as a forward. He was terrible at it.

It is too late for Leo as a forward, a forward needs to be able kick on both sides (even if it just a snap on the wrong side) and I can't see Leo kicking with his right anytime before he retires.
And in reply to Wazza, I reckon both ROK and Davis can take contested marks, Davis more by positioning than leaping (please give him more chances this year [fingers_crossed smiley]
